Greetings from Sonoma County!
I’m back home for Part II of The Package Deal book tour and to visit with friends and family.
Here’s my favorite pic from last night’s reading at READERS BOOKS in Sonoma. I was joined by my mother Susan Swartz, author, radio personality and former Press Democrat columnist. As you can tell, we had a lot of fun cracking each other up.

Should you find yourself strolling around the square in Sonoma, make time to browse www.readersbooks.com, another fantastic, indie bookstore run by the charming Lilla Weinberger.
Next stop…

Hi Izzy,
Marylu Downing passed your book on to me in May…I am marrying a man with two children who is my soulmate…waited 35 years for him as well.
Your insight was so great to help me understand what’s in store for us.
I hope your visit to SC was great, I know that this community is truly wonderful, and summer in West County is amazing!
Thank you for this great site, the book and your willingness to be a strong woman who had complicated thoughts about marrying the man of her dreams. Much appreciated!
Izzy, The Young One and I can’t wait to see you tonight as you return from SF. Yeah! (BTW readers- The Tall One is in the Caribbean with his Mom for the Summer)
Hey Izzy. Still LOOOOOVIN the book! About halfway through now and have spent most of the time nodding enthusiastically and grinning as I can relate to pretty much everything you have written so much!!!
Just picked up your book today along with Stepmonster from Barnes and Noble. Very excited to start reading!! I have heard lots of great things!!
