three small bites: 🧄🍧🐟
the product saving me time in the kitchen, shaved ice from Nashville's best restaurant + fish soap
Hi! It’s Friday. We made it. Thanks for sticking with me as I’ve been in self-promo mode for the last week+. With my next book coming out in a few days, that’s just how it goes around this time, as much as it makes me sometimes want to curl up inside a clam shell. 🙈 Thank you so much for your excitement and support, too. I’m very grateful for all the YYLS love so far. 💚☺️
That said, I’ve got a few more reminders for you since pub day is literally right around the corner…
Flower Tea Party: We’ll be celebrating the launch of my third book baby, Yin Yang Love Song, on Tuesday, 1/28, at Parnassus! So excited to chat with Clare Gilmore, the author of Perfect Fit and Love Interest! If you’d like to attend the tea party, you can register here! RSVPs are required since seating is limited.
You can still preorder! If you want this Remain Clam sticker and a signed and stamped bookplate (which will look like this), you can preorder from any retailer (in US and Canada) and submit your proof of purchase (needs to be submitted by January 26).
In case you missed it: I was featured in Downtime, which was so, so special. I’ve been getting the Downtime (previously GNI - iykyk) newsletter and recs since 2018 (!!) so you can probably imagine how over-the-moon I am about this. I had a lot of fun sharing recs (and talking more about writing mixed race characters, needlepointing, book recs, and food)! 💕
Now, let’s get to the bites…
