This is the book you came here to buy

Saturday night I came home and checked my email and Twitter (I think most of you know this, but I don't have/want a smartphone) and read this awesome tweet:

HOLY SH*T @cometparty wrote a book about a teenage girl who eats people AND ON MY GOD I NEED IT NOW!!!— Anna Pett (@peachandblue) June 14, 2014

 Which grew into this conversation:

@novaren@cometparty@therejectionist@peachandblue guys guys I want to read this one too….IS MARCH YETTTTTT.— rachel SIMON VS HSA (@rachelwrites007) June 15, 2014

I can't tell you how psyched I am that people are already so enthusiastic about Bones & All. I know what I said last week about writing first and foremost for myself, and that's definitely true, but hearing (well, seeing) someone say "I read your book, and it is genius" gives me a feeling beyond the pleasure of smoothing out a snarl in the plot or a thousand very good words. It is deeply humbling and deeply satisfying, and I want all of you who've read my novels to know how much I appreciate every good thing you've said about them.

So get excited for March! Galleys will be probably be ready in November, so if you are a book blogger, drop me a line and I'll put you on the list. YAY!!!

But wait. This post isn't over yet. 

My friends! They are the best—THE BEST!!!
