The Song of Orphan's Garden is Officially Out in the World!

Here's some news about the release...

The Song of Orphan’s Garden released on the 21st, with the audiobook following on the 28th! Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered the book and bought it during release week! If you don’t have a copy yet, never fear—pick one up wherever books are sold!

Speaking of the audiobook, I couldn’t be more thrilled with my narrators Esther Wane and Keval Shah. They truly brought this book to life! (Plus, doesn’t the cover look pretty in audiobook format?)

My launch party was a huge success!! I wrote a whole post about it on my blog, so I won’t go into detail about it here, but you should hop over to the blog for a slew of pictures and details about my first conversation with an actual kid reader, the surprise decorations my coworkers put up, and the friends and family who showed up (some of whom I haven’t seen in 20 years!). Here’s one picture to start with:

I’d also like to highlight some interviews that have gone up recently:

• Check out my interview at Literary Rambles and enter to win a copy of the book!

• Read about how I got interested in poetry and more in my interview on Erin Dealey’s blog. (You’ll also see some great pics of the maps in the book!)

• Find out some fun facts about the names in the book in my interview at Lisa Loves Literature. (You can also read her review!)

I’ve got some upcoming in-person and virtual events as well, so check out the Events Page on my website for those!

Thank you for supporting me throughout this journey!
