Oh hello old friend ☕️ ❤️
There’s a scene in #beyondthepoint on page 95-96ish. A professor leading a class on political philosophy. The “real” Hannah and Tim met in a college class. But the inspiration for that class came from Dr. Benjamin Storey who taught me political philosophy @furmanuniversity. (Side-note, while in college I babysat for his young daughter, Eleanor (side-side-note she is now 12, so ouch)). Tonight back at Furman I had a chance to read that scene aloud, in his presence. What a gift. To tell someone who impacted your life that they did so. To honor their service. Thank you Dr. Storey for your service. For your care. And for welcoming me home to my alma mater, even if I wrote a novel about a different college 😬🤓. What college class made the biggest impact on you? Have you ever told the professor?
It's going to take me several days to process how special tonight felt to me. ❤️ Tonight I had a chance to meet with a group of West Point women and talk about #BeyondthePoint. It was an honor share this long labor of love with women who not only "get it" but LIVED it. To hear their stories and laugh together and connect over so many hard-won victories and friendships. I'm forever grateful to my friend, @mkayk0 for leading the way to connect me to Lorraine Holeman Who provided Wendy-level hospitality. 📚 #westpoint #westpointwomen #beyondthepoint #clairegibson #beyondthepointbook #newfiction #botm #bookclubofinstagram #bookofthemonth #aprilbookstagram19 #tbrstack #historicalfiction #debutnovel #badassbookbabes

A few weeks ago our Sam was asked to be in a springtime photo shoot for @arcadenashville. They asked him to wear this hat. It was just too funny not to post. Sorry kid. 😆 📸: @lindseyrome
Last Friday, I had an amazing, heartfelt conversation with @ashleyeicher and @nashvillehk — and lucky enough, they recorded it!! (Don’t worry they told me we were recording. This wasn’t some Nixon situation or something.) Check out @allourfavoritepeople wherever you listen to podcasts. Things we talk about: -#beyondthepoint duh. - college friendships (or lack thereof) - the 90s - steel magnolias - faith - infertility - dealing with self doubt - grief - what to do when it’s all “in your face” - and much much more. Thanks for having me on guys! #clairegibson #allourfavoritepeople #debutnovel #bookofthemonth
Our neighborhood just got a whole heck of a lot cooler. @vandykenashville 💚 Now who is coming to visit?
