Last day of the B&N preorder sale!

Just look at this lovely blurb from Sarah Henning, author of Throw Like a Girl, It's All in How You Fall, & a ton of others (including the upper middle grade rom-com Running Back to You, which I am wildly excited for!). I am so honored that she read Falling Like Leaves and had nice things to say!

As THE biggest fan of BETTER THAN THE MOVIES, I cannot even explain how excited I was when Lynn Freaking Painter said she'd blurb my book. I just love her 🥰 FLL is available for preorder now! (From the Learned Owl in Hudson, OH for signed/personalized copies!)

Cool things have been happening, and I have no idea what I'm allowed to share, BUT this is on Publishers Marketplace, so I think it's fair game. FLL is heading to Italy! 🎉

Thrilled to share this blurb from the incredible Kasie West, author of Better Than Revenge (and a ton of other stellar novels!). So honored she read Falling Like Leaves and had nice things to say!

Just finished up my layouts for @mistywilsonwrites.bsky.social second middle grade graphic novel. Fun fact: For Misty's script, 209 pages of writing equated to 269 pages of drawings.

If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could: - make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text) - rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group Word of mouth has an impact!
