Finally!
Almost!
Yes!

🥳 The Obstinate Daughters Book Tour is LIVE! 🥳 Between now and August, I will be traveling to share this amazing story with readers in 16 different cities across the United States. Even if I’m not coming to your neck of the woods, you can still get the book the day it pubs: June 23.
I’ve received some questions, so here’s the nitty-gritty:
✅ First, you can pre-order ANY format (except paperback, which won’t come out for another year): hardcover, ebook, large print, and audiobook. (Fun fact: I recorded the audiobook!) If you pre-order now, it will arrive on your doorstep, be ready for pickup at the local independent bookstore of your choice, or hit your device on (or shortly thereafter) June 23, 2026.
➡ See (most of) your pre-ordering options at this link.
🖋 As always, if you want an autographed copy, you can contact my local independent bookstore, Malaprop’s, via website or—wait for it—TELEPHONE! ☎ Yes! Real people! Give it a try! Tell them how you want your copy inscribed and they’ll ship it out that very week.
❓ Can you get a signed copy anywhere else? Why, yes, if you come see me in person at one of the following venues. Just sharing summer dates now. Fall and winter dates to come…
Mark Your Calendars! Tell Your Friends!


And the rocket’s red glare! Brunos bursting in air!
Bruno is so excited about Obstinate Daughters. Just WAIT to see what he puts on for the 4th!

🌻 Until next time… 🌻
As nervy as I get when something I wrote is about to hit the bookstore shelves, I am psyched I get to share this amazing story with so many people.
I hope your spring is going swimmingly. Lots blooming in my garden these days, reminding me that what we often call “weeds” are really just flowers that refuse to give up.
Bloom where you’re planted…
With Gratitude,
