If I were to imagine Middle-earth as a tapestry, it would be woven with every color. So too should be its adaptations. So too should be its fan communities. You are welcome here. 🫶

Taking some time off from socials to prepare for the birth of my baby! Some things will continue to be auto-posted, but my responses will likely be delayed. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up! 🫶

So they got back to me and it sounds like Amazon might be the issue, and they recommended two different retailers that ship worldwide: Redemptorist Publications: www.rpbooks.co.uk/into-the-hea... Blackwells: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

I'm so sorry to hear that folks outside the US have had issues purchasing my book from Amazon. My publisher has advised purchasing through one of these two retailers instead. Redemptorist Publications: www.rpbooks.co.uk/into-the-hea... Blackwells: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

I’m emailing my publisher to ask about it.

As far as I understand they are all printed in the US and have to get shipped to warehouses around the world but this wasn’t supposed to be a problem. I’m sorry. 😭

Sending my love to everyone attending WestMoot this weekend! I wish I was able to join you, but I’m home getting ready to meet our newest little hobbit any day now! For those attending in person, I sent some special free goodies - so make sure you grab one! And send photos! 🫶
