The reality is that our plans don't always unfold as expected. I felt a little deflated when on the expected launch date of Notes in the Night, the paperback version was still not available.

Finally, a week later, after plenty of back and forth with KDP and a couple of adjustments to the cover file, it was published.

Since it's a middle-grade novel, I knew that most buyers would be more inclined to purchase a paperback. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most children want a physical book in hand.

I know that my reading format of choice is still a physical book. Maybe I'm behind the times! :) Much of life these days is focused on a screen, so I enjoy the break from that. I think kids are craving this break as well!

A customer sent me a photo of her holding my book yesterday and it was a great relief to see that my book was truly getting into the hands of readers!
