Hi Reader,

Happy Spring! I hope you're enjoying the nicer weather and emerging flowers in your area, too (and probably with a dose of daily antihistamine, right?).

Here's what I'm sharing in this month's email:

• Links to AAAAI conference recaps
  ​
• May Contain Anxiety book news & upcoming events
  ​
• Two new food allergy-specific books you need to know about​

AAAAI Conference:

I recently attended and presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Annual Meeting, where I was reminded to stay hopeful because research continues to uncover more information about allergic diseases, leading to better understanding and more potential treatments for these conditions.

Here are links to some recap articles from that conference:

• ​HCP Live's coverage​
  ​
• ​Healio's coverage​
  ​
• ​Allergic Living Magazine: new data about Xolair and OIT for bringing multiple allergens into diet

Book News & Events:

As of today, May Contain Anxiety has been out for 6 months! And on its 6 month publication anniversary, I want to thank YOU!

• Thank you for reading it.
  ​
• Thank you for supporting and sharing it.
  ​
• Thank you for letting me know how it helped you or your patients.

I've heard from people worldwide who have read the book and found it helpful, and I can't tell you how much that means to me. Yes, just publishing a book is exciting, but hearing how it impacts people is what is most meaningful!
​
If you've been meaning to grab a copy, there's no time like the present to do so! It's still available worldwide in print, e-book, and audiobook. AND, it's showing up in more and more libraries!
​
And if you've already read it and felt it resonated with you and was helpful, PLEASE CONSIDER helping others learn about it by:

• LEAVING A RATING AND/OR REVIEW on Amazon, Goodreads, or wherever you bought it - this really helps a book's visibility so more people find it
  ​
• TELLING OTHERS ABOUT IT - posting about it online, or just mentioning it to other families and even your allergist

Again - THANK YOU! It's because of YOU ALL that this book has helped so many families already! I truly appreciate your continued support, which will help more families continue to find it.

Upcoming virtual book talk events:
