Inheritance of Scars is out now?!
Debut week felt so surreal and I’m honestly still pinching myself. After nine years of pursuing publication, I can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks since my book came out. I’ve basically been like this ever since October 1:
I’ve had an amazing time celebrating the release of Inheritance of Scars with friends, family, and readers. Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported me and this story already! I’m so grateful, you have no idea.
If you enjoyed my debut, I’d really appreciate it if you could rate or review Inheritance of Scars on Amazon, B&N, and other retailers to spread the word. It really helps debut authors like me (plus you’ll make my day)! 💖
Preorder campaign updates
If you preordered a signed and personalized copy of Inheritance of Scars through Brookline Booksmith, those should be on the way to you if you haven’t already received them.
As for the international campaign, I’m hoping to mail those out this month. Just a heads up that the bonus chapter from Soren’s POV will be sent out toward the end of October. I want to give plenty of time to read Inheritance of Scars first since the bonus chapter has some pretty big spoilers in it! I’m sorry it’s taking me a bit longer to organize everything with how hectic release has been, not to mention. . .
I turned in my next book!
The first draft of my next book, Beast Becomes Her, was actually due the same day Inheritance of Scars came out! Authors weren’t joking about how hard book twos are. To be clear, Beast Becomes Her isn’t a sequel to Inheritance of Scars—they’re both standalones—but they go hand in hand. Instead of Norse Mythology and vampires, Beast Becomes Her is all about . . . Norse Mythology and werewolves! I’m so excited to share more about this book in the coming months. 🐺🐻
Last but not least, the preorder grand prize winner is. . .
