#CATBbook 5th year anniversary

5 years you guys. FIVE. YEARS. It’s been 5 years since Celiac and the Beast: A Love Story Between a Gluten-Free Girl, Her Genes, and Broken Digestive Tract launched. In 2013, we had an amazing Kickstarter that helped launch this book. I felt like I was a baby when I wrote this book! I’ve learned so much since then and hope to have a new book out in the next few years – but, it’s a process (a looooooooong process), and there’s still so much celebrating to do for this book!

You can purchase Celiac and the Beast the book on Amazon, or on other online retailers like Barnes and Noble. If you’d like it signed as a gift, you can order it through my website. Just include a note of who you want it made out to!

#CATBbook Anniversary Giveaway

Today, we’re celebrating this book! This book allowed me to travel across the entire country, meet all of you, and tell my story and listen to YOUR story about celiac disease and how it’s affected your life. It’s been incredible, you guys. THANK YOU. Thank you for all of your Amazon reviews (would still love them if you want to take a minute to tell me a little about what you thought!). Thank you for coming up at shows and telling me that this book changed your life. It’s been an incredible 5 years.

You can win a gift worth over $350 to celebrate, you guys! This is all thanks to my amazing sponsors, Canyon Bakehouse, Enjoy Life Foods, and Red Apple Lipstick

  • Baking Chocolate Prize Pack from Enjoy Life Foods
  • City Matte Palette from Red Apple Lipstick

    Best book I’ve read about a gluten free life and Celiac Disease. Erica accurately represents the struugles with being diagnosed and giving up gluten. I felt like I had someone who understood what I was feeling. I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time!
