Pub day is March 7 and it would mean the world to me if you pre-ordered from your favorite indie!

I have no idea if there is a way for Tina Kotek to see this, but since she is signing executive orders aimed at homelessness, having landlords allow pets would make a HUGE difference. I see ppl every day making decisions about where to live based on their pets #petsarefamily
