Q: Where can I buy the first book, This Place is Magic?

Q: Do I need to fill out the form even if I’m ordering directly from Irene?
A: Yes, please fill it out regardless of retailer because otherwise we don’t know if you qualify for the early bird gift π
Q: Will there also be hardcover editions of This Place is Magic and its sequel, This Place is Home?
A: Yes, the duology will have hardcover editions as well. These will not release until 2025. All hardcover editions will be the same size, with dust jackets.
A note on Amazon pre-orders: with TPIM, Amazon did not ship pre-orders on time. This is unfortunately a distributor issue and nothing I can control π The speed at which pre-orders are fulfilled depends on how quickly Amazon places an order with my main distributor, Ingram, to print the books youβve ordered. This is NOT me telling you to avoid ordering from Amazon! Please feel free to order (or not order!) from anywhere that suits you! But I would like to remain as transparent with you guys as possible, and with my last pre-order campaign, I had a lot who were confused about why it was taking so long to get the book they ordered in advance. This is why, according to multiple support tickets π
