Let’s set the cool thing at the top:
Thank you so much to everyone who preordered THE THRASHERS, requested it at the library, or just simply told a friend about it. First-week sales are so important for this exact reason!
I was so lucky to get the phone call surrounded by friends at the amazing New Romantics Bookstore in Orlando.
Thank you to Nikki Payne for capturing the moment, and no thanks at all to Ali Hazelwood for sitting there in the background while everyone else jumped up. 😇 She keeps me humble.


One more exciting thing that means so, so much to me—THE THRASHERS is also an Indie Bestseller! Thank you for supporting independent bookstores by ordering THE THRASHERS.
I stopped at TEN indie bookstores over the past 2 weeks, not to mention Gallery Bookshop where I did my preorder campaign. You can check with any of them for signed copies of THE THRASHERS or any of my books! See if they ship!
Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino, CA || Lovestruck Books in Cambridge, MA || Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville, IL || The Novel Neighbor in St Louis, MO || Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio, TX || Annabelle’s Bookclub in Los Angeles, CA || Capital Books in Sacramento, CA || The Ripped Bodice in Brooklyn, NY || The New Romantics in Orlando, FL || Lovebound Library in Salt Lake City, UT || Meet Cute Bookshop in San Diego, CA
How did I celebrate? Well, I was already in Orlando…
