Forty-nine days to our ghost story.

Yesterday, with very little fanfare, we slipped under fifty days to the release of Sparrow Hill Road. In forty-nine days precisely—seven weeks, seven short, short weeks—Rose will be on store shelves, and everyone who missed her first road trip will have the opportunity to take it in a whole new way.

I am excited.

I am delighted.

I am terrified.

Rose is one of my favorite people. She's my pretty little dead girl and the spirit of Sparrow Hill Road; she's the girl in the diner and the girl in the green silk gown. She's a story about stories, and I am both beyond ecstatic that she's about to meet her wider audience, and incredibly nervous about the whole thing.

Let me tell you about Rose Marshall.

I promise she won't bite.

Rose is my absolute favourite of your characters, and she's almost single-handedly the reason I found you in the first place. You becoming my favourite *author* shortly thereafter was a group effort between her, Vel, George, and Istas, but that's beside the point. :)

All this to say that I am the most excited I've ever been for a book release. And it's exactly timed for my birthday, which seems like some kind of cosmic blessing. THANK YOU so much for being who you are and doing what you do.

I love Rose so hard. I am so glad other people love her too.

Happy early birthday. :)
