Loved hearing from so many of you this week—asking for updates on Sugar Birds, sharing the fun. THANK YOU so much for all your interest and encouragement! :).

This week held another huge milestone. Ready for a sneak peek? . . .

THIS!!! It’s the cover for the ARC (Advanced Reader Copy)—which goes to press this week. Marketing and publicity teams will share this almost-final copy to spread word about the book throughout the land.

You’ve also been asking me when and where you can preorder Sugar Birds, so here you go: links!

You can order NOW at any one of these locations (or at your favorite local bookstore, of course). You won’t be charged until the book launches on August 3, 2021.

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. I’m grateful.

( I hope the story nests in your hearts.)
