Thank you
and you! and you! and you!
This week, Songs in Ursa Major went on sale—on Tuesday in the US and today in the UK. Having your first book out in the world is unlike anything else, and the outpouring of love and support the project has received from friends, family, and complete strangers has been humbling and thrilling. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who:
pre-ordered the book • bought the book • took a photo of the book • wrote a review of the book • posted about the book • asked me a question about the book • came to an event • cracked a glow stick • wore a flower crown • wore a peace sign • laughed at something I said • traveled from a different state to celebrate with me • texted congratulations • emailed congratulations • called me • sent me a video greeting • made a crowd source account • inquired about signed copies • listened to a podcast • hosted me on a podcast • interviewed me • wrote something about the book • took a video of the book • sent me flowers • sent me balloons • sent me a Joni Mitchell poster • wrote thoughtful questions about the book • moderated an event with me • eyeballed my lipstick • walked my dog • held my hand • read the book
Next week, I’ve got a couple more *virtual events* coming up:
6/29 @ 9 p.m. ET I’ll be chatting with Lauren Fox, author of Send for Me via Book Soup in West Hollywood, CA
6/30 @ 7 p.m. ET I’ll be chatting with Emma Gray, author of A Girl’s Guide to Joining the Resistance via Brookline Booksmith in Brookline, MA
As always, the wonderful Indies that host these events all have signed copies for sale.
If you can’t make any events, but are interested in learning more about the book, here are some of the amazing podcasts that have featured Ursa Major:
And for my Dutch fans:
I still have a ton of Scary Jane pins, so if you have a copy and want a pin, just shoot me a quick note and will send along right away!
