A Wolf Called Wander lands on the Indie Best Seller List!
To be honest, so long as my books do well enough that I get to write another, I’m content. And then, today, I got the news from my editor A Wolf Called Wander debuted at #11 on the Indie Best Seller List! I’m over the moon! I never imagined I would write a best seller.
But I was forgetting to take into account the awesomeness of indie booksellers. Hundreds of them across the country have taken my Wander under their wing just as his raven does in the story. They have read it open-heartedly and given it pride of place in their shops. Thank you, a thousand times!
And if that wasn’t exciting enough, I’ve also just learned that our Wolf will be featured in the top 10 books for Summer of 2019 on the Indie Next flyer that comes out today. Many thanks to Virginia Duncan and the team at Greenwillow who positioned the book quite brilliantly and to Mónica Armiño for her gorgeous illustrations.
Annie Blooms Bookstore 40th Anniversary
It is my very great privilege to work at one of Portland’s legendary independent bookstores: Annie Blooms Books. On Sunday the bookstore and her intrepid owner Bobby Tischner celebrated 40 years of fostering a literary community in Multnomah Village. I love going to work with my generous and wise colleagues. I love helping our patrons find just the right book, especially for the youngest readers, and I love the role indie bookstores play in upholding the First Amendment. In an era full or dark and foreboding news I’m very happy to say that I know of several new independent bookstores opening in the northwest and across the United States. It gives me much hope for the future.
