Buy Your Discounted Copies of Paddling the Sweet Spot Between Life and Death from Finishing Line Press! ($2 off the retail price.)

Presales are from November 24-January 30. Do you know friends or family who have dealt with cancer or chronic illness? Do you know poetry and nature lovers? Do you want a personalized, signed bookplate sticker from Laura? These may be reasons to order your books during the presales period.

By ordering your copies now, you help the press determine the necessary print run for Laura’s book. Plus, you help Laura’s sales going forward and her ability to offer a Kindle version and possibly a hardback edition. Thanks for making a big difference in the life of this poet!

Here’s how it works:

You visit Finishing Line Press’ website, using a link to Laura’s book: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/paddling-the-sweet-spot-between-life-and-death-by-laura-e-garrard/.

You will place the number of books you want in your cart, then enter your credit card/purchasing method and shipping address. When the book releases late March 2026, you will receive your book (give or take a week). About the time of release, Laura will send you your signed bookplate sticker(s) to place inside your book(s). If you have requests for these signings (names of your gift recipients and/or yourself), please contact Laura at garrardpoet@lauraegarrard.com with your instructions.

Thank you for making Paddling the Sweet Spot a success and getting it into the hands of those who would enjoy and benefit from reading it. I hope it serves many who may feel alone in their health experiences, give voice to chronic illness and the unexpected in our lives, a way of continuance through challenging times.
