This photo doesn& #39;t quite capture the magic of this moment. Yesterday, even though I& #39;m not a mom, I got to do something really special on mother& #39;s day.
I got to see my book in a bookstore for the very first time.
It& #39;s hard to explain how much this means to me.

As a new author, and previous bookseller the moment was surreal. My book came out at the start of the pandemic so this moment has been delayed over a year. But it finally happened. My book shares a shelf with famous authors. It& #39;s really real. I& #39;m an author.

It took until I got back to the car for it to sink in and the tears to come. I did it you guys!
Thank you @BrckMrtrBooks for this major life moment. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Grünes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Bücher" aria-label="Emoji: Bücher">

In case you ever wondered how important indie bookstores are to authors, I hope this thread shows how much we need and appreciate them. This store was my local book haunt before my book came out and their support means so much. #shopindie #shoplocal #pnw
