And This Was My Dream

The life of a writer is a weird one. There are days you can find me on the couch in my pajamas at noon, teeth unbrushed and hair looking like The Heat Miser. There have been milestones in the publishing process I’ve been excited about, and it’s been pretty amazing. The other day, though, I discovered something that floored me.

My novel is available through Powell’s.

Let me tell you a story. The first time I had to go to Portland was for work. I planned my entire trip around getting to spend several hours in Powell’s. It’s huge…and it’s an indie bookstore. I freaking love this place. To see Between Seasons available there is, well, there are just not enough of the right words to express how thrilled I am.

They’re selling it in paperback format. Now, I don’t think they have any copies in the store — the listing says all copies are stored in an off-site warehouse, but still. I could conceivably have a copy of my novel delivered to the store and buy it there. That’s huge. I mean it. Huge.

So thank you to Powell’s for stocking Between Seasons.

And thanks to everyone who’s read the novel and reviewed it. Have you checked out the most recent reviews? They’re amazing!
