I can't believe it's real. a complete 180! so, anyway, thanks for all of your support, thanks in advance for preordering a million copies of the paperback, and if you want a signed/inscribed hardcover of GOOD GRIEF that I panic purchased off eBay when I thought the book was going out of print, lmk 😅

then a week later I learned that my absolute champion of an editor at @marinerbooks.bsky.social had been fighting for my book -- to not only keep it in print, but to finally publish it in paperback and GUESS WHAT? Ivy convinced higher ups that a paperback edition was worthwhile. coming out 11/11/25!

PUBLISHING IS WILD. two weeks ago, I posted that @harpercollins.bsky.social was letting GOOD GRIEF go out of print and to stock up on the hardcover while you can. many of you expressed frustration about this and I am grateful for all of your love and enthusiasm and for tracking down copies.

today! 1pm! you can still register, and if you can't watch live, if you register you'll get a link to the recording of the talk afterwards: www.companionanimalpsychology.com/2024/08/bark...

can't wait @zazietodd.bsky.social, thanks for having me be part of Bark! Fest.

I'm back, baby! last Tuesday 5/28 I started work at Wellesley College again after my maternity leave ended AND I had an essay published by Pangyrus, and not just any essay. this essay has a very special place in my heart.
