You Made Me Cry. Thank you.
Hey Bookish Boo!
βChaser releases this week (Thursday) and you made me cry. And I am so grateful.
See, last year when I released Heartbeat I had no idea whether anyone would dig the book as much as I did. I wasn't sure anyone would join my newsletter or give a darn about what I was doing on social media. I also worried if I could finish a second book. Sometimes when the first book is successful you get bogged down by what you think about others' expectation for the next book.
The reality is, you loved Heartbeat as much as I did. You've followed my journey and random shenanigans on social media and here in my newsletter and you have embraced Chaser before reading a single word.
I set a goal for pre-orders of this book - twice as many pre-orders for Chaser over what I received for Heartbeat and I am so proud to say I'm 1 pre-order away from that goal.
Your first book is where friends and family comes out big in support. They may never crack it open, but they'll buy the book. The second book is where readers show up. If they liked the first book, they will show up for the second. You, friend, showed up for my second and that makes me boo hoo like a wee babe.
Minor Chaser Oops
This weekend I uploaded Chaser files and sent it to publish. Then I realized I uploaded the file for advance review readers. The unproofed file. I ran to upload the correct one, but Amazon locks your files for three days to "prepare it" for publishing. After some chats with their reps I learned I can upload the correct file once its published, tell them and they will send everyone an email to update their files to get the correct one. This announcement also lets everyone know I screwed up π€£π³. I've been working on giving myself grace, I still struggle with it and am super embarrassed, but I will live.
So when you get your pre-ordered or KU copy, if it says ARC READER in the chapter list you need to update your file. The bad file has a missing paragraph and almost zero proofreading. I want you to have a better experience.
On a positive note, I took a brief video of my 'end of writing' ritual, soon I'll be doing it all over again for Selene and Fox for Fingertips.
Don't forget the discounted books from fellow author friends listed below! Have a great week!
Hugs and Cheers,

Hey Bookish Boo! This has been a week and I debated whether to bring any of that into the newsletter this week, but ultimately I am an advocate, a Black woman and a journalist. All of that comes with me to my work, to the books you love. So are book political? Is there room in the bookish space online for politics? In short. Yes. Let me explain briefly before you roll your eyes and scroll down to the freebie romance books. Every time you pick up a book that centers women, women's pleasure,...
Hey Bookish Boo! I missed you. It's been a minute in a half since we last connected, but I am so glad to see you! Let's see... what happened that I didn't get a chance to tell you... I got to hang out with one of my favorite authors - Tiffany Patterson THE Tiffany Patterson, creator of the Townsends of Williamsport and the Black Burlesque series! She invited me, ME, little ol' me to do a TikTok live where we talked about books, the book community, and our writing habits etc. It was AWESOME! I...
Hey Bookish Boo! It's been a week since Chaser dropped and I want to thank you all for your support. The book is doing great, the feedback has been awesome and the reviews are coming in. Which reminds me, if you haven't left a review for Chaser, please consider doing so soon. Traditionally when you hit 50 reviews, Amazon puts some respect on your name and supports your book more with their system. I'm at 32 reviews now so we are almost there! I've gotten some rad social media posts talking...
