Field Trip Followup

Hello, Smut Fam! 

Last week was a busy one! For those of you who have been following along on my Instagram, this post will echo a lot of the content I shared last week. I want to make sure that regardless of the platform readers use to follow my author journey, everyone is updated and aware of what I'm getting up to. So, this week, I'll be doing a review of last week's very busy field trip.

I visited a total of 15 cities in Orange County and released 21 copies of my debut novel, FOUND, into the wild. Smut Fam, I had so much fun! I went into the week with a plan, but, much like my experience with writing, the plan quickly took its own form. Instead of visiting the list of places along my premeditated route, I ended up exclusively at the little free libraries on my list, as well as many more I added along the way. 

I fell in love this week! I have always been active in sharing books at my neighbourhood LFL, but the charm of every single LFL I was fortunate enough to visit this past week completely captured my heart. It was an absolute joy to see all those shelves stocked with stories to share! Check out the little free libraries website here to find one near you! Any local readers who are on the hunt for a copy of my book can check out the locations on my BookCrossing shelf here. 

I'm so excited to share this list of the 21 LFL locations where I released books. Each address is linked to populate in Google maps.
