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

    Dear Readers,

    You amazing, fantastic, beautiful humans!!! WE DID IT!!!!! WE DID IT IN 3 DAYS!!!!!! Do you know how wonderful you are? You made my dream come true today, and I am grateful beyond measure!

    Today is a day of great hope. There have been far too many times in my life, and in yours I'm sure, where others have told you that my dream was impossible.  That I weren't smart enough, strong enough or good enough for my dream to come to fruition.  It happened to me while I was healing after this accident, it happened while I was pitching this book - and both times I considered giving up.  But luckily, somewhere inside of me there was this well of hope that wouldn't let me give up - and here I am living, walking and going to publish a book! 

    Please take a good hard look at what happened over the last three days, and know in your heart that no matter what anyone else says - there is always hope. 

    Also, if you have a minute, can you give yourself the BIGGEST hug. The hug is from me, and make it a good one, because I REALLY mean it.

    Love,

    Katie
