Sara Goodman Confino is the bestselling author of five novels: Don’t Forget to Write, Behind Every Good Man, She’s Up to No Good, For the Love of Friends, and the upcoming Good Grief. After spending more years than she’s willing to publicly admit teaching high school English and journalism, she is currently writing full time and trying to make a living off of the crazy stories in her head. She lives in Montgomery County, Maryland with her husband, two sons, two miniature schnauzers, and a goldfish that seems to be vying for the world record of longest living fish. When she’s not writing or frantically parenting, she can be found on the Peloton, at the beach, or at a Bruce Springsteen concert, sometimes even dancing onstage.
Yes, I had to say this out loud to test it. Yes, it’s accurate 🤣
Try saying Marmee with a Boston accent. You’ll never look at Little Women the same!

Another day, another $350 later, Sandy should be fine to continue terrorizing the neighborhood squirrels.
Please preorder Off the Record to help me pay my vet bills. They’re literally saying that they’re going to build a new wing to the practice in my name and I’m NOT positive that they’re kidding 😵💫😵💫😵💫

Aww even Bruce is telling people to preorder Off the Record! Thanks, Boss!
Don’t ask what’s wrong with me. I don’t know the answer any more than you do.

So I obviously can’t play favorites with book events but… today was up there. Because not only did I get to see my college best friend, @brummom, when I spoke at her synagogue for the second year in a row, my bookstagram bestie, beta reader, and friend (whom I had never met IRL!) @kt719 came to see me! ABSOLUTELY worth the drive to New Jersey to see them any time! 🩷🩷🩷
I’m still smiling! Love you guys!

Things I found on my walk today: an Off the Record sticker my 9yo put up on the bike path over Rock Creek and a four-leaf clover.
Things I DIDN’T find on my walk: my missing evil eye bracelet 😭😭😭 The clover should balance that out right? Right??? Ughhhh

True story: my publisher gives me a form to make requests for qualities in an audiobook narrator and I literally write @hlaserwolf ‘s name in every box.
Male or female: Helen Laser
Regional accents: Helen Laser
Vocal qualities: Helen Laser
She IS the voice of my characters and I can’t wait for you to hear her as Judy, the star of Off the Record! Preorder your copy today!

Off the Record releases two months from today. Which means that I will officially have six books out in four years and ten months.
I just rewrote this post about ten times because I kept getting sentimental about how much my life has changed in five years.
But the best way to sum it up is actually the dedication in Off the Record. The novel is dedicated to Kevin Keegan, my high school journalism teacher, mentor, and friend. He always said, “The harder you work, the luckier you get,” which I later learned was a bastardization of a quote often misattributed to Thomas Jefferson, but his version was the one I grew up with. And it’s true. Because it’s just been five years since I had a product on these shelves, but I finished writing my first novel twenty-one years ago. And while some luck was involved, I’ve definitely been working harder than ever before.
(And yes that was my least sentimental version! Apparently I’m in a mood today…)
So let’s get preorders rolling on this one in honor of an amazing teacher and to make me have to invest in some new shelves when the books keep coming! If you want a signed and personalized copy, snag that from parkbooksmd.com (make an account for shipping) and unsigned copies are available for preorder wherever books are sold!

If you’re in New Jersey, come see me Sunday at the Marlboro Jewish Center! You don’t have to be a member or Jewish to attend. I’ll be speaking, signing books, making fun of @brummom, AND raffling off an early copy of Off the Record.
South Jersey/Philadelphia folks, I’ve got you with two dates that I’m announcing soon, don’t worry!
