Chicago friends! Happy to see Dayspring is available at @wcfbook, @PilsenCommBooks, @UnabridgedBooks, and @madstreetbooks--just looking among my old favorites where I've dragged @meakoopa on visits 📚
if you've been holding off to order DAYSPRING til your local shop had their preorder links, happy to report many are now LIVE, including my buddies at @AnotherStoryTO & @TheBeguiling, & @QueenBooksTO, where i did my first ever reading from the short story! penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/…
