Should've gone to therapy, but I wrote a book (and talked to my therapist) instead. #thegloryinyourstory #booklaunch #author #blackauthor #bestseller #publishedauthor #newauthor #glory #favor #thestorymustbetold #faith #testimony #moniquerodriguez

Today is pub day for A Thousand Ways To Die! And I can’t thank each and every person enough, who supported me, encouraged me and stood by me on what was a long and arduous journey getting to this point. If you pre-ordered the book, bought it today or plan to buy it, thank you! Your support means everything. Buying books like this sends a clear message! To the journalists and hosts and editors who offered precious media real estate to covering the book, thank you! To my family, friends and supporters, your belief in me and this project has been edifying and unwavering. And to those whose stories, of triumph and tragedy, I had the privilege of covering, you never had to trust me but you did. I hope I’ve done y’all justice. Thank you @stmartinspress and my editor Elisabeth for sticking with me when times got rough. And thank you Jennifer, my agent, who never stopped believing in the power of this book. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. NOW, head to my linktree for book tour tickets and RSVPs! See y’all on the road! #athousandwaystodie #trymainelee #bookstagram #blackauthor

Habakkuk 2:2 says, "Write down the vision and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it".

That’s why this book just means more! -It’s a testament to what God can do through any of us -It’s a God wink that you can win too because there's GLORY in your story -It’s a roadmap for making your vision plain to God Glory be to God 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 your girl is a published author!

New Orleans was a dream. So much of who I am as a journalist, and even as a man, has been shaped by my experiences in that wild, beautiful city. So, it’s no wonder that my return with A Thousand Ways to Die has left such an impression on me. Thanks to my good brother D.J. who is pushing the culture, arts and literacy of the city forward with his ambitiously Black hub of brilliance and beauty @baldwinandcompany , for hosting me. A special thanks to my dear friend, the force of nature that she is, the talented and tenacious @charissegibsonwwltv for moderating this intimate conversation. But the night would have been nothing without the family and friends who traveled far and near to be there with me for this incredibly special homecoming. And, of course, everyone who invested their time, energy and money into coming out or buying a book. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 📸 @chelsywileyphotography #athousandwaystodie #trymainelee #bookstagram #blackauthor #booktour

Let me tell y'all somethingggggg!!! I had a TIME at #AWP25. This was my first ever writing conference, and it was extra special because it was on my old stomping grounds, Los Angeles. So much nostalgia, love, reuniting, and fellowshipping. Shout out to the homies for being dope. It was so good to see everyone. I'm excited for next year in Baltimore! #blackauthor #blackauthors #blackwomentaughtus
