Please join me for a KINDLING launch party at Linden Tree Books in Los Altos, CA on Friday 3/1 at 6pm! 🔥 I’ll be hosting a trivia game show night with special guests/contestants Parker Peevyhouse (THE ECHO ROOM), Randy Ribay (PATRON SAINTS OF NOTHING) & Emily Skrutskie (THE ABYSS SURROUNDS US), and it’s going to be so much fun. 🔥 I haven’t had a true launch party since 2018, so I’d love it if you could be there to celebrate KINDLING with me! RSVP here!

PLUS, you can pre-order your copy of KINDLING from Linden Tree to receive your faux kindling “Polaroids,” and you can pick it all up the day of the event! 🎁 Go here for details!

 ⭐ Another star for KINDLING! ⭐

Thanks so much to Booklist, which calls KINDLING "a thorough and gut-wrenching exploration of finding reasons to move forward after devastating loss and darkness and how community and connection can breed hope that will linger with readers long after the last page." That's two stars! And I am incredibly grateful. Read the full review here.

🎁 With a month left until launch, there's still time to get your pre-order gifts: three "Polaroids" of the kindlings, featuring art by Naomi Giddings! Details can be found here.

​We’re six weeks out from the publication of Kindling, and I’m thrilled to reveal the pre-order gifts I’ve been cooking up for you!

With your purchase (or library request) of Kindling made before February 27, 2024 at 11:59pm PT, you can receive three beautiful “Polaroids” of the seven kindlings, featuring art by Naomi Giddings! Orders made through Linden Tree Books in Los Altos, CA will also arrive with a signed Kindling bookmark. Submit your receipts + your name and mailing address exactly as you’d like them to appear on the envelope to: [email protected]. Offer open internationally until 02/27/24 at 11:59pm PT or while supplies last.

I love the “found object” feel of these prints, and I’m so tickled by the idea that they all happened in this little sequence of events, as the kindlings notice they’re being photographed and seize the camera for a selfie. Naomi’s renditions of these characters make me smile every time, and I’m so excited for you to hold them in your hands!
