I wrote a book called Merry Christmess. It’s out today! It pulls heavily from Sara’s and my childhood, and from my incredibly intense and enduring passion for Christmas. It’s a chapter book aimed at 8–12-year-olds (ish)—not a graphic novel, although this cover by Bex Ollerton is incredible and hopefully will attract many readers. There is an audio version of the book available too! I spent a year of my life writing this book. It was insanely hard. I’ve always written with Sara, and there were many times when I thought, my God, there is absolutely no way I’m going to finish this or keep this train on the tracks. But I did. And it’s out today!!!
To everyone who pre-ordered it: thank you so much. And for anyone who is already starting to think about Christmas gifts, Merry Christmess makes a pretty great stocking stuffer. If you love Tegan and Sara, or you have an 8–12-year-old in your life, this book might be for them. Lastly, a huge thank you to everybody who helped me get this book out into the world. I’m gonna go drink some eggnog. 🎄🥛
