You can support your local bookshop by visiting and asking for my books. They are available for order through Ingram. (Ask them to host me for an Author Event, while you're there 😁) If you just can't get to the physical store, you can still support local. Choose a store to sponsor on bookshop.org (bookshop.org)and order online. There are print on demand links on this site and on https://www.instagram.com/this_is_essee/ (https://www.instagram.com/this_is_essee/)but please consider your local bookshop first.

Yes! Support local wherever you live. Find a bookshop near you that can order through Ingram and ask for my books. Links to order from Bookvault are through the Great British Bookshop.

• Small bookstores are beautiful hubs of community building but they are also beholden to the demands of commerce. It is imperative that they stock only books that can sell quickly in order to remain in business. • I offer zero-risk events for small book stores, where I bring books to sell. Extra books go home with me, to be sold at the next event. So, with few exceptions, you can only buy my book at a bookstore when I am there to chat and write a poetic line, or two, for you. • I was appalled to learn how many books are printed and then destroyed in this industry every year. Attempting to offset this wasteful practice, I prefer to only sell print on demand and at author events.

It would be difficult to explain this decision in an FAQ, however... I understand the idea behind added value from author personalization and I love to connect with readers. I am happy to write a personalized poetic line, or two, in your copy of my book.
