Did someone say TEMPLE OF SWOON print ARCs?
Read on to find out how you might be able to score a copy and get the scoop on other news.
It’s the dead of summer and it’s official: I’m ready for fall. It’s no secret that I’m a fall girl. Those crisp, autumn mornings. Pumpkin spice lattes. Leaves changing colors. Soups and stews. Boots and sweaters. It’s also my favorite time of year to write, which is perfect for me because I’m on a deadline.
In case you missed it, I’m working on some new adventures!
That’s right! Two more books coming from Yours Truly. The first will be the third book in the Raiders series. I mean, I couldn’t write books titled RAIDERS OF THE LOST HEART, TEMPLE OF SWOON, and yet pass up the opportunity to write THE LUST CRUSADE! TLC (ooooh… I like that) will include some of my favorite tropes: brother’s best friend, fake dating, forced proximity, and, of course, only one bed. To be clear, though, I have never ever had a crush on my bro’s BFF. Or any of his friends, for that matter. Gross. HAHAHAHA. The second book is still TBD but, oh, I’ve got ideas.
Speaking of TOS, I said something about print ARCs, didn’t I?
I have a habit of waiting until the very end of my newsletter to get to the juicy bits, so let’s try something new this time. Want a chance to win a print ARC of my next book, TEMPLE OF SWOON? Well, how about not just one, but TWO chances? Then keep reading!
First, my publisher is running a Goodreads giveaway right now for a chance to win one of 5 print ARCs! The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only through July 30, 2024. Click here to enter.
Second, and what I think is even MORE exciting, I’m doing my own giveaway for a print ARC of TOS and a copy of RAIDERS OF THE LOST HEART for my newsletter subscribers only. So if you’re not subscribed, do so by 7/31 to make sure you get entered. I will select one winner, personalize the copies, and throw in some extra swag for funsies. Open to US/Canadian residents, 18+ only. Click the button below to enter the giveaway!
Upcoming events…
Feels like it’s been quiet for a while, but I’ve got lots of fun events planned in the next few months. Here’s a partial list (some are not yet announced so I’ll update the list when I’m able):
7/31, 5:30PM - I’ll be joining Elenas Armas during her tour stop at the Seattle Northgate Barnes and Noble! Get your tickets now!
8/2-8/3 - Stop by my table at Steamy Lit Con for yet ANOTHER chance to win an advance copy of TOS! I’ll also have some fun swag and goodies. And if we’ve interacted on social media or at other events, please make sure to let me know who you are! It’s not always easy placing the faces with the names/SM handles, but I want to meet all of you IRL! On Saturday at 10:15AM, I’ll be doing the Retellings and Fandoms panel with Ali Hazelwood, Farrah Rochon, Seressia Glass, and Susan Lee, and moderated by Kate Goldbeck! How will I be able to talk when I’ll most certainly be starstruck?!
8/13, 7PM - Join me in conversation with Anna E. Collins as we talk about her next book, WORST IN SHOW at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park (Seattle). Register here for this free event.
9/10, 7PM - I’ll be celebrating the release of my dear friend Rachel Runya Katz’s new book, WHENEVER YOU’RE READY at Third Place Books in Seward Park (Seattle). Register here for this free event! If you caught the two of us at the event at the Drumliner back in May, you KNOW this is going to be a good time.
11/2 - Come see me in my hometown at the Romance Con hosted by the Toledo Lucas County Public Library with some of my favorite authors: Abby Jimenez, Julie Soto, and Kimberly Lemming to name a few! The event will be free, but requires tickets which will be available starting August 15th, first to TLCPL cardholders and then to the general public.
Unfortunately, for those who were planning on seeing me at Romance Con in Milwaukee, I sadly had to cancel my trip due to personal matters. I’m pretty bummed and I already have serious FOMO, but life had other plans. If you’re going to Milwaukee and had planned to see me there, let me know and I can send you some swag anyway.
That’s all for now. Like I said, I’ve got more fun stuff in store, but it’s a secret for now. Until then, happy reading!
