Moving to NYC means downsizing, and downsizing means giving away my extra copies of THE LIGHT OF LUNA PARK!
Here's the deal: If you preorder THE WAR LIBRARIAN and message me confirmation, I'll mail you a free signed copy of THE LIGHT OF LUNA PARK.
Feel free to share this post!
It's even more remarkable knowing Dr. Martin Couney wasn't a doctor at all. His medical training was fabricated; the nurses were the experts. Couney's wife May, daughter Hildegarde, & friend Louise Recht worked tirelessly to save 6,500 babies who wouldn't have survived otherwise.

Visitors would pay to come ogle at the babies in their incubators, and Couney would use their admission fees to pay for the infants' care. It was a strange, jarring environment, but it boasted a remarkable success rate.

If you've read THE LIGHT OF LUNA PARK, you know about the bizarre history of the premature infants displayed @ Coney Island. From 1903-1943, a man named Martin Couney took in the infants who would have been left to die at hospitals and treated them in his freak show at Luna Park.

How gorgeous is the full cover for THE WAR LIBRARIAN?! So grateful to the Putnam team who created it: Sarah Oberrender (mechanical designer), Christopher Lin (art director), and Hannah Dragone (production manager).
Pre-order now for your own copy of this stunning paperback!
But the books were also meant to boost morale, curtail loneliness, and even help win the war - to remind soldiers that Germany was not fighting against any individual country but against America's very "ideals and principles."
