Hi you beautiful beings!

Two weeks after the release of The Bone Wars, it is thriving! Look at all the times its been seen out and about all over the world

The Natural History Museum London  (thank you Ben and Jess!)

 NHM

Here is one of Jess next to Mary Anning’s "Swimming Dragon" This is mentioned in the book! In fact, this whole museum is :-)

Here it is at my parent’s local bookstore. If you’ve read the acknowledgments (also the dedication), you know that my father was an important Dev editor to the many drafts of TBWs. 

My step mom Kris with a member of Book Passage’s wonderful staff. Such great people!  

Here it is at Book Inc in Mountain View (thank you Kristy!)

as well as at Stanford!

If you have pics, send them my way!! Or let me know and I’ll go a hunting!

Thank you again for all your support. I’m just so thrilled the book is finally out there and people are enjoying the story. In addition to pictures, I’ve been getting very nice emails, not only from close friends and family, but also from people I haven’t had a chance to connect with in a while, telling me how much they enjoyed the book. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. 

Two things quickly! 

One, THE BOOK IS ON AUDIBLE! As I mentioned last update, I spoke to the actors last year and was just so please with how they interpreted the story. Their pronunciations also deserve some major kudos! Parasaurolophus isn’t easy to say! You can buy it now, so if you’d rather hear the book instead of reading, definitely go check it out:

And two, please review! Every author I know hates this part, but it’s critical in today’s saturated book climate. If you liked the book, review it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, wherever you want. The more people review, the more the algorithms/AI gods bring the book to the attention of others that might enjoy it.

Thank you again for your support after all these years. I truly appreciate it!

Best,

Erin Evan
