Where in the world is Your Whole Body?
Your Whole Body is in the Caribbean Sea! I now have tracking information for the freighter carrying it!!!
I’m super excited about this–I can watch Your Whole Body slowly creep up the East Coast of North America, and so can you! I’ve embedded the live map at arcticflowerpublishing.com/books.
Check it out:
The freighter has just crossed the Panama Canal and is making its way north. As the freighter gets closer, remember there are still significant port delays, so it may sit for a few weeks in port before being unloaded.
Did you know?
There are two separate shipments of Your Whole Body: one to a distribution center on the West Coast and one to me on the East Coast. I’m hoping the shipment to the West Coast will arrive earlier than the shipment to the East Coast. If you are in the US and purchased a single copy of Your Whole Body with no add-ons, the distribution center will fulfill your order. Otherwise, I will.
