I'm about to get really annoying

Four Weekends and a Funeral releases in one month and here's what you need to know

Four Weekends and a Funeral is out August 6!! And it’s already July?? What is time!?

For some reason, when I have lots of exciting things to share, I can’t seem to get a newsletter out. So here is a LONG overdue newsletter post detailing everything you need to know about preorders, release week, and celebrating this book live and in person with me!!

Where to Preorder (…and why it matters to preorder. Sorry, but it’s true.)

Preordering tells booksellers that FWAAF is a book you’re excited to read, which makes them even more likely to stock it (which is helpful for me)!! It also tells my publisher that you might want more books from me and that they should invest in my career.

Content Bookstore - All preorders from Content Bookstore will be signed, personalized, and accompanied by custom character art and planner sticker sheets. (See my IG post for a sneak preview of preorder goodies!)

Libro.FM - Libro.FM is my favorite source for audiobooks, and, since the incredibly talented Karissa Vacker narrated FWAAF, you won’t want to miss out on what is sure to be a phenomenal listening experience.

Where to Hangout with Me

I like to joke that I got into to publishing to make friends with my favorite writers, and…it totally worked!! Now, I’m celebrating FWAAF with some amazing book sellers and author friends, and I’d LOVE to see you all there on my book tour!

On August 6, I’ll be at Tropes & Trifles in Minneapolis with my friend Naina Kumar, author of Say You’ll Be Mine and one of the all around loveliest humans you’ll ever meet! Naina is also my critique partner, which means she’s read MANY versions of Four Weekends and a Funeral and helped make that book what it is. Purchase your ticket today and come hang out with us! I’ll bring the Thin Mints.

On August 7, I’ll be at Magers & Quinn with Sam Tschida, my release date twin! We’ll be celebrating FWAAF and her witty, spy rom-com Errands & Espionage.

On August 8, I get to hang out at my family’s favorite local indie, Content Bookstore in Northfield, in conversation with YA romcom author extraordinaire, Jenna Miller!

On August 17, I’m headed to Ventura, California to celebrate Bookstore Romance Day at Smitten Bookstore with Danica Nava! Danica is the author of The Truth According to Ember, a book that is somehow as hilarious as she is. (More event details forthcoming).

On September 11, I’ll be in West Bloomfield, MI at Schuler Books with the lovely and effervescent Kate Robb to celebrate FWAAF and Prime Time Romance. (More event details forthcoming).

From September 13th to 15th, I’ll be on a reader retreat with @stephsbooktherapy in partnership with Wambolts Cabins! If you’re ready to take this friendship to the next level and vacation with me for a weekend of bookish fun and relaxation, reserve your spot now!

Finally, on October 12, I’ll be on a panel with with Rachel Koller Croft, Tasha Coryell, and Stephanie Wrobel at Literature Lovers’ Morning Out at the Lowell Inn in Stillwater! Ticket info to come!

I cannot believe there’s only a month left!! I can’t wait to finally share in this excitement with everyone live and in person!

See you soon,
