Today is the Book Birthday for CATALYST!!!

My cat Gwen and I are very excited that today is the book birthday for my new kids book, CATALYST, about a cat that grows and grows and grows! It's a fantasy adventure about change, expectation, and accepting all for who they truly are.

CATALYST is an Amazon Best Book of the Month!

Eeeeep! CATALYST is an Amazon Best Book of the Month for June! On balance, 2020 is still the worst, but I'm very happy for this, and to be in such good company. Congrats all!

Back-to-the-Future Box of CATALYST

I love when author copies arrive! I call it my Back-to-the-Future box, because for me, the most awesome part of that movie was when George McFly receives that box full of his books. So here's my Back-to-the-Future box full of my new book, CATALYST!!! Coming June 9th!

CATALYST Blurb from Emily Jenkins!

I'm excited and thrilled to share this lovely quote for my new book for kids, CATALYST, from the amazing and brilliant Emily Jenkins!!!

Excerpt from CATALYST

Three weeks until my giant cat book, CATALYST, comes out! I just posted the first chapter on my website. Click here to read! http://www.sarahbethdurst.com/Catalystexcerpt.htm

 

CATALYST Coming Soon!

So, the world is still on fire, but I have a new kids book coming out on June 9. By pure chance, CATALYST is all about learning to accept change, though I never imagined there'd be quite so much change for all of us to accept.

In that spirit of accepting change, and despite everything, I'll be introducing you to CATALYST over the next few weeks, ahead of its 6/9 publication day.  May this giant cat story bring a little joy to kids who need it now more than ever.
