Hi Lore! Received your book I ordered back 1-26-24 which was a lovely surprise as I had forgotten I had ordered it, and just ordered one yesterday. Is there any way my order from yesterday can be cancelled? TX. And also, how do I access the freebies? I'm so looking forward to reading this book, your writing is so readable. cherpowers@twlakes.net

So very excited to read this. I was also so ecstatic because the weekend you will be at Nooks my friend and I will be in town for a girls weekend. I was already planning to visit the bookstore but what a bonus that YOU will be there! Bought our tickets and excited to share your words with her and to meet you in person!

LORE! I am tickled. I'm from Lancaster, but I live in the Middle East now. BUT I'll be home for a short family visit over June 8 -- I'll totally be at Nooks!! What a joy to meet you!

Thank you for gifting us with the work of your hands, heart, and mind in The Understory. I read an early Net Galley edition, pre-ordered a physical copy, and I'll give the other physical one to someone else. <3

Pre-ordered a copy for a gift. I felt the Spirit whisper a loved one’s name when I went to order it for myself. And now I’m off to ask my library to order it for me (and all the other residence of my city)! 🥰

And I just requested your latest book and confirmed that my library has your first two books in its collection!!

This is your THIRD book and that is worthy of celebration!

I was so excited to preorder and have such a faulty memory, that I ordered two copies from different places and got both over the last few days. I just ordered three more copies. As I told my husband, "I just want to have enough copies to give away." "It's that good?" he asked. "It's that good," I replied.

Lore. It's that good.

I preordered a while back and am really looking forward to reading this book. I thought of you often last week while doing some AT day hikes in Tennessee and Virginia. I paid attention to the understory for the first time and was amazed at the variation at different elevations and environments. It might have nothing to do with what you wrote, but it was fun paying attention to something I never really noticed before. Plus, because I was paying more attention, I got to see a young bear in a tree looking right at me!

Yes! I love that! And I love that you got to see a bear! Always so fun to encounter wildlife at a safe distance on hikes =)

So apparently in my effort to not miss out on pre-ordering a few months ago, I pre-ordered not one, but TWO copies of your book! 😊 I’m excited to gift them to someone and to start marking up my copy with my special pens and little flags. Praying for you as the book goes out into the world, and for your thumb and laptop and stiff neck… May your joy be full despite the series of unfortunate events. You’ve done a GOOD work, friend! 🤍🙏🏼
