Yes!!!! So excited for this event!! 🥹🥰

Veronica Bane @veronicabane.bsky.social · Jun 29

I nearly started crying in my local bookstore yesterday.

I nervously asked if I could sign stock of my book when it comes in next week, fully prepared for them to say no.

And this angel bookseller said, “I *demand* that you sign every book.”

I know there’s so much pain in the world right now, but one of the families I supported during the wildfires is seeking help for a dear friend. Serena’s story touched me deeply, and I hope you’ll consider donating or sharing their GFM.
