It feels like it’s been forever since I sat on the park sign at Hawaii Volcanoes and took my final selfies of the big 2020 parks project, and yet, nearly two years later, the book is written, the audiobook is recorded (I got to relive my acting glory days), and both have an official release date. Mark your calendars for February 1st!

In the meantime, preorders for my book, Feral, Losing Myself and Finding My Way in America’s National Parks, are finally up on Amazon, and yes, Amazon happens to own my publishing company, Little A, so they are, in fact, the best way to buy the book! I’ve been getting loads of questions about this, and I love how conscientious today’s readers are. 🙂

Between now and February, there are a lot of big podcasts and print media interviews on the horizon, and I’ll do my best to share them all in a timely manner via my social media, so be sure to follow along at @BrazenBackpacker on Instagram and Facebook if you want to hear me stumble my way through behind-the-scenes stories of heartache, bear encounters, and pee funnels.
