You're invited to a Garden Party at my home!

This is going to be a quickie.

 

First, with just a little over three weeks out from publication of Sticky Habits, know that I am alllll kinds of nerves. What calms me is this little group cheering me on. Thank you for reading these newsletters and for supporting this book.

If you haven't yet, please pre-order Sticky Habits HERE. And I'd be especially appreciative if you'd shared about it with any family, friends, and social followings you have (private or public). THANK YOU!

 

Second, one of the special pre-order bonuses I offered to this group was an invitation to my once-a-year, in-person Garden Party. 

THIS IS YOUR INVITATION!

Saturday, August 22nd from 6-9 PM, hosted at my home in Salt Lake City.

If you pre-ordered the book and would like to come, please reply to this email and I'll send you the address. 

Most attendees don't know each other, but leave with new friends. We have a potluck, it's casual, connective, and fun. I'd love to have you there!

 

Finally, please know there's another in-person party happening very soon--August 31st--with my first live podcast recording to boot. You can (and need to ASAP) reserve your free ticket to About Progress Live HERE.

Seats are limited, but if I'd love to see anyone's faces in the audience, it would be the members of this book launch committee.

Think: cookies and drinks, advanced copies of my book, author signings + meet and greet, and an excellent conversation led by NPR journalist and podcaster extraordinaire, Julie Rose. 

 

OK, I think that's it for all that's coming up soon. 

Love to you,

M

 

PS: Stay tuned for the behind the scenes of the book cover. I've decided to air that on About Progress. It was quiiiiite the ride landing on the cover, but it paid off. I constantly hear how much people love it! Catch my first look HERE.

My book is published! So, now what??
Welp, publication day for Sticky Habits came and went! And what a day it was. I was surprised by my own reaction to pub day; it was one that simmered as September 8th approached and time seemed to slow down to a crawl. Internal voices bubbled to the surface, ones experiencing ALL the feelings. Self-doubt: “Will anyone get this book?” Pride: “I did it!” Embarrassment: “My sales are basical...

Book Cover and Book Title Reveal!
It's official. My first book has a cover, new title, and is ready for presale. (I can't believe I'm saying that.) Before I share all of the above with you, a quick update is in order.   Editing: Both Harder and Better Than I Thought My last newsletter was from early-February with a request for advanced readers. I was already neck-deep in editing my manuscript, but I had no idea the intensity of...
