Last chance to preorder

That’s because Finding Renée Richards comes out tomorrow!

I am wearing a forest-green shirt and holding a copy of the book Finding Renée Richards. I am standing in front of a blue console table and a piece of artwork on the wall. Behind me, there is a stack of other copies of Finding Renée Richards.

Happy almost launch day to Finding Renée Richards! It’s out tomorrow, and I can’t wait.

Have you preordered a copy yet? If not, I’d appreciate it if you’d consider doing so. Preorders are so important for authors and publishers. I continue to recommend Astoria Bookshop as a vendor. They ship, they’re staffed by lovely people, AND all preorders from them will be signed by me. If you’d like the audiobook (narrated by me and the great Dani Martineck), Libro.fm would be a great choice.

As a reminder, I have some book events coming up! Two in New York City, one in the Boston area, and a couple of others on the way. Stay updated here.

The true star of my book photoshoot

I am seated in front of my desk. Behind me, on a window sill, are my gray and white tabby cat and a copy of Finding Renée Richards.

Friend of the newsletter Laura was kind enough to capture some images of me and the book with the true star of the show, Penelope.
