Soulmatch Giveaway!
I haven’t blogged in a regrettably long time, so I have a ton of updates! I’m just gonna do them rapid fire (stick around for the giveaway info at the end!)
I HAVE A FINAL COVER!
Behold! (Yes, it’s almost identical to the one you’ve seen circulating for months. The changes were subtle!)
2. I RECEIVED PRINT ARCs (Advance Review Copies)!
I was completely surprised by this obscurely-marked shipment while opening deliveries after Christmas shopping. Watch my emotional and totally unscripted unboxing on Instagram.
What will I do with all these copies??
I’ve sent five out for ARC trains to promote early reviews. I gifted one to a friend whose son I quote in the dedication. I gave one to my favorite indie bookstore, Middleburg Books. And the rest will be used in giveaways (more on that below!)
3. I’M WAY UP TO 644 “WANT TO READs” ON GOODREADS! I think the boost was due to a couple of shoutouts from UppercaseRecs, a Bookstagrammer with over 120k followers. SO EXCITING! Here’s one of them!
4. I CREATED A MERCH STORE
And it’s stocked with stickers, pins, and other collectibles that readers may want after they read Soulmatch! Check out the selection.
5. I FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT OF MY SECOND NOVEL!
I can’t say much about it yet, but it’s another YA dystopian romance novel (not a sequel of Soulmatch), and it’s a mashup of Minority Report and Stephen King’s Misery. I have SO much work to do on it before my 2/14 deadline. Eep!
6. I’VE STARTED TO RECEIVE AUTHOR BLURBS!
Asking my author friends to read and review Soulmatch was terrifying. I was literally shaking! But the response was overwhelming, and the quotes are starting to come in! These will be used on the back of my hardcover and in social media promotions!
Definitely check out these authors’ books and follow them on Instagram:
