Fun fact: I have ALWAYS wanted to be an author but I never thought that it would publish a book like this. It was a weird twist on a forever dream.
As a teenager, I was so sure that I was going to write the next best fantasy novel (In the vein of Tamora Pierce, Melanie Rawn, and Gayle Greeno, Margaret Weis - absolute ICONS), and then I grew up and became obsessed with historical romances, so of course - during NaNoWriMo (where you try to write a whole book in a month) I wrote a q***r, historical romance novel. Annnnd then, zombies - another favorite genre. (Am I all over the place - yes?) So I wrote a zombie story about a group of Dungeons and Dragons friends who survive the apocalypse together.

It's still weird that I actually got published (even if it wasn't in the way I always thought I would be) but I am so proud of this little creation that is hopefully making a difference in the world.

I have a big announcement about the She Series book.....it's getting published!!
And before I get into the details, I am worried that FB is going to squash this post so comment with your favorite gif from a movie or show and we will pick someone to pick a print or pin from our Etsy. :D

ANYWAY

Last summer we began talking with the people at Media Labs (an imprint of Macmillan: https://us.macmillan.com/publishers/media-lab-books/) and they are publishing our book. This is thanks to all of you who supported our Kickstarter, you all made this happen and I am so grateful.
So, I have never had a book published before and don't know what to expect. :D
We had a meeting with the publicity and marketing team and apparently pre-sales are super important. If they are high, the book will be more widely available.
Right now, Barnes and Noble is running a 25% off on all pre-sales with the code PREORDER25: Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/she-changed-the-world-karen-hallion/1145097316?ean=9781956403824
If you can pre-order one, now is the time. 😃
But even more importantly, PLEASE PLEASE spread the word? Share it with any book clubs, parent groups, library groups, teachers, anything you can think of? If you think there is a group or a blog or anyone we should reach out to, please let us know. It's my dream to see this in actual physical stores this Fall but we really have to push to make that happen.
Also, have been a few changes to the book. Due to space, they have removed 20 essays so this book is an even 100 portraits. Also, they changed the title and the cover a little. BUT it's now a lot less expensive and shipping might be easier if you aren't in the US. We will still carry the original in our Etsy.
