First Novel published

[CatrionaGrace]

My first novel was released on March 25. The second is set for release in July 2026.

"Traditional publishing" is a popular misnomer for trade publishing. Trade publishing is no more or less traditional than self-publishing, academic publishing, or vanity publishing.

There. I said it. Now I'll shut up and keep the eye rolling to a minimum.

Did you see on the old Forum?? I posted a picture holding your book!
(havent started it yet, I'm afraid, but I finished reading 2 books on my "To Read" list. Yours is steadily making its way to the top!)

I thought now you were a published author, you decided to leave us poor, unpublished mortals behind...

Just joking of course. Congratulations! And it's good to see you back in the new forum. Look how shiny it is!

I didn't! Thank you, JT.

Never! I lack self-control and can't moderate my forum usage, so had to disappear until I got my work done.

I pre-ordered a copy but still haven't read it
Will be getting to it soon, it's pretty much at the top of the pile. I just had a couple other books to get through first. Got a 4-day weekend starting, so may as well get to it !

Congratulations and well done.

Last night I discovered that 187 libraries stock the book, including forty-one US states, Canada, Australia, Botswana, Singapore, New Zealand, Serbia, Germany, United Kingdom, and Israel. Given that the US alone has over 9,000 public libraries, 187 barely makes a dent, but still- Botswana, y'all!

JT, if you still have the photo, could you please PM it to me? I'd love to add it to my instagram account, if you will allow me to do so.

Damn, that rocks !

And it's only been out for a few months, I am sure those numbers will continue to increase for a while yet.

One is a screenshot from my library's catalogue
And the other is a slideshow my phone made with the selfies i took.

Congrats! I hope to get a copy soon, there's a local bookstore I have a good relationship with that let's me order books through them. This looks absolutely up my alley, plus it's by another forum member and emerging writer, so I definitely want to support it.

Thank you, JT! Look at your beautiful eyes peering over the top of the book. (Scurries off to post on instagram: author JT Woody poses with BBT.)
