Under a month to go

Until Finding Renée Richards.

Saturday marked one month to go until the launch of Finding Renée Richards. It’ll be in bookstores, libraries, e-readers, and headphones (yes, there’s an audiobook!) near you on August 18. I’m tickled that my hairstylist seems very excited to read it. Hope you are also excited.

If you haven’t placed a preorder yet, please consider doing so. If you want that copy to be signed, your best bet is my hometown Astoria Bookshop (they ship!). If you order from someplace else, though, just shoot me your address and I’ll happily send out a signed bookplate to stick in your copy.

Also of great importance

I might have to move the Greek olive tree sculpture I cherish before Penelope destroys it.

A gray and white tabby cat stands on the lower of two shelves with a few books, rubbing her cheek against a miniature sculpture of an olive tree.
