It's Publication Day for my brand new book baby today.
But I now know from experience that many of my gorgeous readers won't know that.
The (legally protected) "belief" that #women exist as a sex holds Great Power.
To make books invisible.
So lmk if you see this one around👑

When I was a child, my grandfather would take me to bookshops as a treat. They're still where I go when I want to feel inspired. So I'm blown away that Tyger is a Barnes & Noble Monthly Pick. THANK YOU to all the amazing booksellers out there - it really means the world to me!

#ThomasTrue is changing outfits for the paperback! Sumptuous purple and bright white, but that's not all! With purple and silver foil, he's gonna sparkle on the shelves PLUS purple sprayed edges for ultimate impact. A gown to match the story hidden inside. Thank you @OrendaBooks

I love libraries - Tyger was written in my local public library. So it means more than I can say that the first American review for Tyger is in @ALA_Booklist, and it's the kind of review writers dream about. Thank you Beth Rosania, and all librarians!
