Pre-orders FAQs
Q: Are you bringing hardcover books to the event?
A: No. I will only bring a small supply of paperback editions of certain books to each event. If you’d like a hardcover, you need to pre-order it by the cutoff date. You can check out the hardcover books I’ve included here.
Q: If I purchase my book at the event, will I receive the same swag items as those who pre-ordered?
A: No. Only individuals who pre-order by the cutoff date will receive custom book-themed swag items and a complimentary copy of The Book of Love.
Q: What if I want my books shipped to my home?
A: If you’d like signed books shipped to your home, you can order directly from my online storefront. Note: Shipping and handling are added at checkout.
Q: What if I want to order a limited edition book box for the event?
A: If you'd like a limited edition book box, please email me directly with the specific book edition before the pre-order cutoff date. I will then send you a link to pre-order a corresponding limited edition book box “while supplies last.”
Q: What if I purchase a book(s) and change my mind?
A: ALL book sales/purchases are final. Books are non-refundable and non-returnable.
When you pre-order, I reserve a book just for you and create exclusive swag bundles to go along with it. This means I’ve already ordered, paid for, and prepared your items ahead of time, so I can't offer refunds once the order is in. I appreciate your understanding and support — it helps me make these special extras possible!
