- Stay tuned, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, my 12th novel is coming August 4, 2020 from Algonquin. My 11th novel CRUEL BEAUTIFUL WORLD is an Indie Next Pick. IS THIS TOMORROW was an May Indie Pick. I'm also the New York Times bestselling author of PICTURES OF YOU, a San Francisco Chronicle Lit Pick, a Costco "Pennie's Pick." a NAIBA bestseller and on the Best Books of 2011 List from San Francisco Chronicle, Providence Journal, Kirkus Reviews and Bookmarks Magazine. I'm the recipient of a New York Foundation of the Arts Grant in Fiction. I was a 2013 finalist in the Sundance Screenwriting Lab and a finalist in the Nickelodeon Screenwriting Fellowship, four of my novels were optioned for screen, and I talked my way into writing the script for two of them. My essay, HIgh Infidelity, has been optioned for film. I'm a book critic for The San Francisco Chronicle and People Magazine. I teach novel writing for UCLA Extension Writers' Program, and Stanford online, do private fiction editing, and I am a professional namer! I live with my husband, writer/editor Jeff Tamarkin and we beam with pride about our son, an actor/filmmaker in college. Visit me at http://www.carolineleavitt.com.

Oooo, Caroline! When you nostalgically mentioned MOVING ON in your blog today at Kepler's, it brought back such a happy reading memory for me. Every New Year's Day I type out a graded list of books read that previous year and I keep them in a tattered red box. I just now pulled out that box and found that I'd read MOVING ON in 1970 (the year I first started keeping track, actually), and I had given it an "A"!
Mary, isn't it a wonderful book? I got my copy out of a used bookstore and I still have it--Huge! Big brown cover. I read and read and so adored that book! I'm so happy to find another person who loved it, too! I read in a recent edition that readers were mad at McMurtry for having Patsy cry so much, but I frankly liked that about her! I loved that whole crowd: Patsy and Emma and Danny Deck, of All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers (another great McMurtry book.)
Kindred spirits, Caroline . . . (smile). I still have mine, too, only my cover is white. Bet I got mine from Literary Guild way back then. (I liked Patsy's crying, too. Nicely emotional.)
Now I want to go read it again! I'm going to go find my copy!
