Gearing up for my next book release and all of the nerves are starting to kick in. This pre-release phase is one of the scariest parts of the job IMO. I feel like screaming in joy from the tallest mountain, vomiting, and hiding under my bed all at the same time. 🤪

I made the mistake of referencing Mapquest in front of my kids & then had to explain how we used to print out driving directions and follow them on paper. To which my youngest exclaimed, “Were you born in the Middle Ages?!” 🤯
