Big week! 😬 On Thursday, these brand new, themed collections of letters are published. I love them; hopefully you will too. Letters about sex, fathers, dogs, grief, New York, and space. They fit in big pockets and make excellent gifts. Available in all the usual places.
Very proud of these books. I'll be showing you letters from all the titles in the coming days and weeks, on here and on Instagram (instagram.com/lettersofnote) and in the newsletter (news.lettersofnote.com) and anywhere else that springs to mind.
And there are audiobooks featuring all manner of talented people. We managed it, despite all of this [waves hands around]. I recorded my parts in a cupboard under my staircase. I'll let you know when they're available. x
To clarify, because I don't want anyone to buy the book thinking they're getting something else, Letters of Note: Sex is not a book filled with erotic letters (although there are a few of those). This is not Sexy Letters of Note. From the intro:
