Dear Sweethearts, 

I hope that you are doing well and that you have had a wonderful Wednesday! I have been trying to not overwhelm you all with too many update emails, but I have a few things to tell you! 

I have been working on the edits of How to Get Run Over by a Truck, and it has been really incredible.  The editors at Girl Friday are so talented, and I cannot wait to share it with you! It will only be a few more months and you will have the book in your hot little hands.

The other more immediate news is that in collaboration with the designers at Girl Friday, we now have a fancy new cover! Do you love it? I LOVE IT! The photo that is on the cover is one that I took while on the Williamsburg Bridge about 4 years ago.  I remember the urgency I felt while taking that photo, I needed to capture that moment because I was so blown away by how beautiful the bridge looked.  I had walked over that bridge tons of times, but I had never really noticed the street art, and how pathway looked like it went on forever - it made me feel so joyful.  It was the perfect reminder that everything in life is better when you remember to look up. 

Thank you so much for your support, and I really hope that you like the new cover! 

Heart,

Katie 

Thank you all for the support so far! I’m excited to launch this project—my first on Inkshares! I have one request today: please send me your pictures of bike lanes from your city. I’m gathering a collection of reader-submitted photos of bicycle infrastructure, and we’ll include your photos in the book! Please post them on Twitter and mention me in the tweet—I’m @ptraughber.

Thanks so much for your support, and I’m looking forward to seeing your photos!

Hello, Spring! And just in time! While tulips are coincidently blooming across the state of NC, so is The Tulip Factory which is now in 17 bookstores across the United States! I can’t wait to meet, greet and sign copies of my book this summer at some of these amazing local indie book shops! Something else kind of cool... Barnes and Noble recently picked up my book as well!!?! (attempting to maintain composure) So you can also preorder/purchase The Tulip Factory from their website. Thank you ALL for helping me get to where I am today. The readers, sharers, shoppers... My friends, family and genuine book lovers... And those not so much into books but who supported me anyway... THANK YOU!  xxo
