someone asked me in private so I wanted to mention it in case others were wondering
🤭
So excited for my copy to come! 💕
BTW: No AI was used for writing my book, editing it, or for the creating cover art.
In case anyone was wondering.

Image of my book cover art: a watercolor painting of a landscape with mountains and two trees prominently placed in the foreground. There is a giant golden ring in the background. Text: "On the eve of the publication of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien wrote that in doing so he had 'exposed his heart to be shot at'. Kaitlyn Facista here lifts that heart up, to show how it speaks to our own, of hope, faith, mercy, courage, and self-sacrifice; and invites us to ponder that heart, to discern how we might each embrace and embody the virtues it espouses in our own ways, in our lives and in our world." — Carl F.

If you knew anything about me, you’d know this isn’t the case with my life or my work but I know it’s easier to spout off hateful comments online than it is to give people any grace whatsoever.
It's okay, it happens. And thank you!

Yeah keep in mind this review is written for a Catholic newspaper so it skews towards their audience, but the book discusses (among other things) the way that Tolkien’s own faith influenced his writing and world-building process. Certainly these values can be universal.
My book is finally in-stock at Blackwell’s!
