On this last stretch of (this part of) book tour, I had the surreal and new-to-me experience of being on not one but two morning talk shows—one in Seattle and one in Portland. The shiny, bubbly energy of these kinds of shows is so completely the opposite of my comfort zone, the idea of me sitting on a set couch and trying to match the host’s enthusiastic cadence was kind of hilarious. But it was also an interesting opportunity to think about what it really means to find new readers.
Thanks for sharing this. I so understand your hesitation to sweeten the book on a show along with the wish for this book to reach more readers. I’m happy the experience was ultimately a pleasant want. Looking forward to read your book.

Ooh, no! But please email it to me! (You can just reply to the newsletter and I'll get it.) Thank you!
