Publishing Day is getting pushed up for all kinds of great books, including The Camping Trip. The cartons full of books have arrived in the warehouse, and people need real books right now, so publishers are releasing them to the world. This makes me very happy!
Sure, it is disappointing not to be able to have a few big book parties at my favorite bookstores to celebrate the release of this book with family and friends, but I’m A-okay with everyone staying home, staying safe, and staying healthy. But if you want to do a little armchair camping in the meantime, you can order this book from your favorite independent book store, and if you send me a note with your address, I’ll send you a personalized book plate, a bookmark, and postcard!
If you are casting about for a bookstore to support, here are a few of my local favorites. Liberty Bay Books, Eagle Harbor Book Company, Ballast Book Company, Elliott Bay Book Company, University Bookstore, Secret Garden Books, Third Place Books, Green Bean Books, and Village Books. When we are back to being able to visit a bookstore, I will be able to sign books ordered from Eagle Harbor Books and Liberty Bay Books—just let them know you’d like that!
Stay well everyone!
