If you’ve purchased your copy of WILD LIFE from an independent book store over the last week, you might have found a bonus little something being slipped into your bag.

Book swag is the best kind of swag, isn’t it? Big thanks to Random House Canada for making this come alive in the best way.
[ID1: a cream-coloured tri-fold pamphlet sits atop two red novels—WILD LIFE, by Amanda Leduc. The title of the pamphlet is THE PROPHET’S PAMPHLET and it shows a dark sun and illustrated ladder on the cover. ID2: an inner page of the pamphlet, showing a selection of verses from the so-called religious text.)

A wild world of thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the launch of WILD LIFE Wednesday night. It was so wonderful to see so many friendly faces there, and to have yet another amazing conversation with @garybarwin.bsky.social about love & grief & hyenas & whales & magical trains!

Deeply grateful to Goodreads for this final confirmation as to why authors should not look up reviews of their books…and also, thanks for this excellent reminder that sometimes people love your work or hate it, and that can be a good thing too! 🤣
Screenshot of a page on the Goodreads website showing aggregate reviews for the novel WILD LIFE, by Amanda Leduc. There is one 5-star review and one 1-star review, for a combined overall review of 3/5.
