An advance copy of my next book arrived yesterday, to my total surprise! I am absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out. (Hard to see in the photo, but there's a spot varnish on the butterflies, Charles, and the title. I totally wasn't expecting such a wonderful detail. The design geek in me is very, very happy!)
I'm feeling truly fortunate and thankful to be working with such an amazing Editor,
Art Director, and the whole team at
Abrams!
The book will be out in
October... stay tuned for some behind-the-scenes book posts in the weeks leading up to release!
