Yesterday I got to sign copies of MADSI THE TRUE. Brought my author copies—this seemed a great opportunity to get them into the hands of teachers and librarians (along with the educators’ guide I’ve created). Brought 20 copies of each; they were gone in 24 minutes.🤯

(Even though I already own the paperback.)

Posting my magazine cover from the trend over on IG because why not.
