As Halloween fast approaches, here are some utterly exciting things that have happened in the world of publishing a debut novel:
- SERIAL KILLER SUPPORT GROUP was featured on the We Are Bookish monthly Cover Love roundup and was voted one of the top covers of the month on NetGalley! Can you blame them?? It’s a fantastic cover.
- SERIAL KILLER SUPPORT GROUP has over 11K adds on Goodreads! Incredibly honored and grateful that there’s such support and interest in this novel before it even comes out.
- I got my first blurb! Blurbs are testimonials from acclaimed readers and critics, and a bestselling author has provided one for my debut. It’s very exciting; more later. 👀
- My publisher is running another giveaway! 5 people will win a physical copy of the book, and you have until Nov. 3 to enter to win!
I have finally finished this book, sending off my second round of pass pages, and it’s a relief because I’m currently nearly 20,000 words away from finishing the first draft of a new horror novel that has taken over my life and brain. It’s disturbing and timely and vicious, perfect for fans of body horror and unlikeable characters. I can’t wait to share more when it’s done.
In the meantime, as always, here are some additional ways you can support a debut author:
- Request SKSG on NetGalley and get a digital ARC (Advance Reader Copy) for free to read and review!
- Pre-order the book here.
- Request that your local library or local bookstore stock the book.
- Join my street team and engage with my social media posts, while being the first to get news, freebies, and promotional materials.
See you next time!
