I can hardly believe the day has finally come, but I’m beyond thrilled to say that my new book is… out! In theory, if you walk into a bookstore today, you should be able to buy or a least order Fine Specimens.

I’ve just published a post on the blog about the book, the book tour, and the book tour newsletter. The tour kicks off tonight!
