Great news, everybody: My book is out today!!!!!!!!!! Abby might call it a young adult novel, but once you read it, you’ll see it’s clearly a memoir. My memoir. (After all, my name is in the title—how much clearer could I make this?)
Still, she’s been kind enough to offer to help advertise the book, so I’ll let her. You can buy D.J. Rosenblum Becomes the G.O.A.T. wherever books are sold, especially your local indie bookstore. And you can meet Abby to talk about me :) at any of the following stops along her road trip:

If you don’t see your city here, DON’T WORRY: Abby will visit a few other cities (to be announced!) in October and November. She also wanted me to pass along this message:
Hey, y’all. What a world. Today, I am a published author.
I couldn’t be more thrilled or grateful that D.J. Rosenblum Becomes the G.O.A.T. is the book that got me here.
This labor of love holds and shares *so* much of my heart with the world. I hope you love it as much as I do. I hope you love my next books just as much.
There are so many people I have to thank: my teachers, my whole life. The wonderful folks at Levine Querido, especially my all-star editor, Irene Vázquez. My agent, Caryn Wiseman. My professors and classmates in the Low-Res MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Nevada, Reno. My friends, the most amazing people in the world. And—above all—my parents, who never shot down my dream of becoming a writer, instead making me feel again and again and again that I could do it.
I love you all. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
Pick up a copy of D.J. Rosenblum Becomes the G.O.A.T. in a bookstore near you.
You heard the lady! And, most importantly, me. Enjoy reading.
I'm soooo happy for you! Hooray. Well deserved. I can't wait to dive it.
