Sorry I couldn’t catch the live stream, Troy! Australia’s a bit out of sync time wise haha.

The bookplates look great! The cover is wonderful. And seeing your husband with you for support was just fantastic! :)

Oh, don't the bookplates look good! I'm very, very excited for those especially. Such a treat to see you both, and the show-stealing Bubba. I'm taking June 4th off to sit in the garden with copy...🌞🐑💜

Yay! I'm glad you like them! I'm going to try and start getting the bookplates out next week so maybe you'll have it for your sojourn in the garden. ❤️🩵🖤

Troy! I love everything about this— how excited Leo is, the cover, the cards that enable you to send signed copies (I will for sure want one!), Bubba. And the postcards for the conference are such a great idea.

I am just so thrilled for you, my friend ! off to pre-order.

Well done Troy and Leo! I loved that you shared how we will get our signed copy of Lamb. Just seeing the Lamb 'logo' made me love it all over again, it couldn't be more perfect! Congratulations on this big milestone💕

Congratulations! I remember the beginning of the novel from reading it on Substack, except at that time I thought this was someone that you knew and didn't realize it was a novel.

It was and wasn't - fiction based on real life. Thanks Lynn!
