Just saw this the other day in East City Books on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, and my face lit up. I wanted to tell the person next to me, I (sort of kind of virtually) know that girl!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to apologize for not responding to all the incredible congratulations and well wishes. I didn't intend to just write this and then ghost everyone like the comments didn't matter. And I truly love this community and am so appreciative of all of you.

Shortly after I posted the original post my father passed away unexpectedly and I've been completely focused on helping my family heal (and myself as well of course).

I was really grateful to have such a great launch. I'm sad that I couldn't continue the forward motion on it but slowly starting to return to it. That said I've sold upwards of 2k softcover books which is kinda amazing! I also had a friend share that they saw my book at fisherman's warf in SF.

Anyway I love you all and felt guilty about disappearing and wanted to just come back while I have a second to breathe finally and tell you what happened ️

@carlianne I hope he had a chance to rejoice in your success and I wish you healing and sacred memories to bring you comfort.

@carlianne Fantastic and an inspiration to us all! So happy for you and my condolences on your fathers passing, I lost mine almost 10 years ago and the missing never goes away. I'm sure he's very proud of you! Here's to continued success!

[Rachel Horne]

Brilliant - congratulations

[Jeremy Ross]

So sorry for your loss @carlianne, and no need to apologize.

[carlianne]

@demotlj thank you! I regret he never got a copy of my book but I was talking to him multiple times a week sharing the success of my kickstarter and I have no doubt of how proud and happy he was for me ️

@Jeremy-Ross I kmow... But I'm still doing it
