Last Day of the Scavenger Hunt!!

So Sara Humphreys and I have had a blast with our month-long scavenger hunt.  We were celebrating the release of "Made for Us" at the beginning of the hunt and it will end tomorrow with the release of Sara's new contemporary romance, "Brave the Heat".  I am so excited for this book that I have been a little fan-girlish about it. 

Sara's promising me a signed copy so...fingers crossed!!

Today we posted our last clues - both in video form.  Actually, it is because of Sara that I stepped out of my comfort zone and posted a couple of videos on the hunt page.  I'm not good in front of a camera and hate the way I look but I put it all aside for the sake of some fun.  Sara, on the other hand, is a natural and always puts out some great videos and loves chatting with her fans that way.

She is my idol.

So, on this last hunting day with the video clues, we are each giving away $50 Amazon gift cards!  Who couldn't use that??  So all you have to do is go over to the Scavenger Hunt page, listen and watch the clues (HINT:  You will need copies of both books to answer the questions) and private message us with the answers.  How easy is that???

Made For Us Pre-Orders

I remember when I started self-publishing how only traditionally published authors were allowed to have pre-order links on Amazon.  I was soooooo envious.  Sigh.  Then, as time went on, the indie authors were allowed to get them.  The only problem with that for me?  I was one of those flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants writers and pretty much I published books on a whim.  Spur of the moment.  Whenever the urge struck.  I would write a book, edit and publish within a month so a pre-order link wasn't really working for me.

Well now it is!  

Now that I've slowed down and writing longer books that are being traditionally published - and don't even get me started on how much I am LOVING seeing my books in paperback in the stores! - all of my books go on pre-order about six months before they're released.  It's a little weird seeing the book on all the sites and knowing that it won't be available for so long but I do enjoy seeing how many people are ordering a title because they want to make sure they have it on the release date.

I still do it all the time with my favorite authors.  And when I do it way far in advance?  It's like a nice little surprise when it pops up on my Kindle.  It's like a little present and I think "Yeah, me!" for being on the ball and knowing how much I'm going to enjoy reading a new book.  

But then again, who doesn't enjoy a new book, right?

So "Made for Us" will be out August 4th.  SOOOOO much fun stuff is going to be happening with it!  Besides the actual release of the book - which in itself is very exciting - I'll be hosting a release party on Facebook on August 3rd - you can join here:  https://www.facebook.com/events/835345099883774/ and then I'll be doing a month-long scavenger hunt with author Sara Humphreys on Facebook that will lead up to her new release, "Brave the Heat" which will be released September 1st.  It is all going to be a lot of fun and I hope to see tons of people at these events - and by see I mean your names on my computer on Facebook!  Lol!

We are going to be giving away stuff at all of the events - signed books, swag, Amazon gift cards...you name it, we may very well be giving it away so you don't want to miss out!  To join the scavenger hunt, go to https://www.facebook.com/events/1492072517751546/
