I feel the same about Jenovia. Truly. Did one of our deceased plan organize this soul-crossing? And if so, I’m forever grateful. xo

Huge congrats and Happy Birthday! I was on the preorder list already via Alisa's Substack. Should I just purchase thru your sit?

That was actually the waitlist. This is now the pre-order and it’s through Alisa/Empress. She’ll use that waitlist to send out a blast too but it will send you to the same link! ❀️

Kimberly, Happy 50!!!!! And endless congratulations on the publication of your beautiful book! What an exquisite moment. It is a joy to be a part of your joy! Thank you for that.

(Logistics question. I signed up during the earlier preorder. What does that mean now?)

Kimberly Warner's avatar

Thank you RenΓ©e! Logistics are good to cover. ;)

The waitlist only entered your name to receive updates, spa weekend giveaway and other goodies, but the pre-order is an actual purchase of the book, and it will ship as soon as it's released. Sorry about the confusion!

Congratulations my friend. Excellent and well deserved. So inspirational on a life level, a writers level and a β€œbeing able to cope” level. Thank you for that :)

I know I put myself on a list when you first announced publishing your memoir. I’ll check.

Thank you dear human. I can't wait to reciprocate the congrats when your book is released. ;) The waitlist I sent out early in the year was only to be added onto the publishers newsletter for updates, early-bird goodies, etc. This is an actual pre-order (and since you're in Sweden, it's easiest through the Amazon link) so when the book is released this fall, it will automatically be sent to you.

Ha ha, maybe don't hold your breath :) I NEED MORE TIME. Ever felt that? Thanks BTW, I'll sort the ordering thing. Ordinarily I'd avoid that particular Amazonian monster, but I'll make an exception for you :)

I totally get it. Are you able to purchase through Barnes and Noble in Sweden? That’s an option for international sales as well.:)

Happy half century Kimberly!! :) :)

That cover design is phenomenal β€” the rare case I’d recommend judging a book by its cover πŸ˜† Look forward to seeing your signature one day soon.

Haha, as someone recently said, β€œYou’re now MID-century.” That’s got a more swanky ring to it no? πŸ˜‚

Just sent a chapter off to Amy a few days ago. If she’s didn’t receive it, I may have ended up in spam so I’m just letting you know! πŸ’›

I know, right!? I’m approaching my own two year anniversary on Substack at the end of this month and it’s crazy to think how solid so much of the support has been since the early days. I’m very thankful to have found my way into this community. And I’m so happy we’re all supporting each other along on this journey.

Ohhh that’s soooo awesome! I’ll be popping over to Amazon right after this to order me a hardcover copy! How exciting :)
