The paperbacks of Hammer Head have arrived, and they’re making me grateful for all the support and enthusiasm and word-spreading that took place for the hardcover when it came out around this time last year. To all the independent bookstores and libraries who hosted me, to everyone who bought the book, or borrowed it, or gave it to someone, to the folks who sent kind notes, to the people who came to the readings (so many lovely Tumblr friends turned out and it was such a pleasure meeting so many of you), to everyone at W.W. Norton, to the writers and editors who shed a little extra light on it, and especially to Tumblr and Rachel Fershleiser for celebrating it the way they did, thank you, thank you. And You’ll see Edan Lepucki’s endorsement right there on the cover. I’m feeling bigtime grateful for all of it, and all of you. Gratitude comin’ atcha from cold, cold Cambridge.
