My father, Richard See, passed away yesterday at the age of 92. He was an anthropology professor, artist, and an all-around cool dude. He ended every phone call with “Bye, hon.” Now to him I say, “Bye, hon.”

- This magazine cover...Germans know fascism when they see it. Today the nation's top magazine, Stern, declares @POTUS @realDonaldTrump a Nazi. Yesterday Chancellor Angela Merkel came to the defense of US Congress "Squad." facebook.com/stern/photos/a…
- It was beyond “inartful and irrelevant.” It was ageist, misogynistic, stupid, ignorant, and revealed extraordinary bias. Try again with your apology. Wait! I don’t see “apology” in your statement.

- Wooo-hoooo!!! I've finished the first draft of the new novel. No, wait! I finished the first draft of the new novel, have read it once all the way through on the computer, done my first round of edits, and am now ready to print this for a true second draft. I'm sooooo happy!
- At last! The cover reveal for the new book!!! I love this jacket. And I think you'll love the story. You can already order whatever version you like -- book, e-book, or audio book. To make things easy, I have all the links in one place on my website: lisasee.com
- I’m excited to share that Lady Tan's Circle of Women is one of the @amazonbooks editors’ Best Books of 2023 So Far – and it’s on a billboard in NYC! See the full list here: bit.ly/3qL63yE
- Holy smokes!!! LADY TAN'S CIRCLE OF WOMEN is going to debut at #5 on the New York Times bestseller list on 6/25. To all the readers, thank you, thank you, thank you. @ScribnerBooks
- I donated to @TheHuntington over 300 glass-plate negatives taken in Los Angeles Chinatown between 1890 and 1915 approximately. Here's a video that I did with Li Wei Yang, the curator at the Huntington, about the collection.

- While everyone is out skiing, I’m going to give myself the present of starting the new novel. 1,000 words, here I come!
- We left a door unlocked by mistake. A bear came inside and stole a bag of pistachios. He then proceeded to eat them just outside the door, until my husband scared him away with loud music. How’s your Saturday going?
- Since #BookTwitter is trending, let me just say that it's my favorite thing about Twitter. Not too much in the way of politics. (Although there's plenty of that, if I think about it.) Just books, writers, readers, and, yes, publishers.
