Had a great release shindig at @ubookstoreseattle today and signed lots of copies of THE LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN—go get em!

Problem: I have WAY too many cupcakes left over...

Library scented candle, keyboard, and a full @calamityware tea pot of black tea. Must be time to line edit book two.

Books are great, but the best thing about release day is getting to finally celebrate it with dear friends.

Today’s the day! I made the local bookstore down the street my first stop to sign copies of THE LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN. It feels weird just to LEAVE it there...

Turned in my last owed interview so GUESS what book I am FINALLY getting to read. Gideon the Ninth has been on my TBR forever and oh gosh look at this hardcover design. Writer goals tbh

Ten days until THE LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN is released! oh no 👀
