We made it! The day is finally here. April 28th has arrived. Well almost, since I am publishing this a day ahead of time. But that means that right now the bookstore elves are unpacking my book from those large caramel-colored boxes and preparing to stock those freshly printed babies in the "cooking" section of a bookstore near you. For me, today, the night before book launch feels like Christmas Eve. Except this time, I get to be Santa Claus and bring my one shiny new toy to YOU guys.
To celebrate the arrival of Healthy Happy Vegan Kitchen I have a few things to share!
- Two cookbook trailers, and one that is quite "magical" and maybe a bit "enchanted."
- Some new photos of me and my new BFF book.
- TWO cool virtual parties on the 28th that YOU can attend!
So pour yourself a smoothie, frost some cupcakes, whip up some avocado toast, warm up a matcha latte or pop some cookies in the oven because I want to celebrate this day with YOU guys, the amazing people who have truly made this possible for me....
It's heeerrreeeeeeee...
April 28th you can officially walk into a bookstore and have a little adventure searching for my cookbook, treasure map not needed, just ask a friendly bookstore clerk for some white glove service. Those bookstore folks are always super nice and friendly. And once you have the book do a little happy dance for me. No, seriously. Please? That will make me so happy thinking of all the bookstore breakdowns/bust-a-moves happening out there.
