We’ve passed the 2-month mark until Jezebel comes out. That’s right, my novel comes out in less than two months. If you’re planning on buying my novel about this much-maligned queen, why not pre-order it?
As a first-time author, pre-orders are vital—essentially a way to tell my publisher that readers are excited about the book!
And hey, if I get enough pre-orders, I will buy us an island (either very large or very very small) where we can all party together (by this, I mean read quietly side-by-side on the beach).
You can pre-order through:
Your local indie bookstore
Buying a physical copy, e-book, or audiobook all count toward pre-orders, so buy in whichever format you prefer!

Rate & review on Goodreads:
Goodreads is a huge part of any book’s success. Taking two minutes to click “want to read” or “add to shelf” helps with visibility and sales. And you can always rate or review it as well!
Ask about the novel in your local bookstore/library:
Getting booksellers/librarians talking about the novel is also a huge help. Asking for it to be stocked in your library or local bookstore would be invaluable.
Send the pre-order link to others:
Know someone who you think would enjoy a historical retelling of this reviled queen? Send them a pre-order link or simply share this substack with them!
What I’m Listening To
Listening to old songs today, ones I loved in high school.
Books I’m Loving
The Thick and the Lean… first, LOOK at that cover. It’s gorgeous, and the book is no less so. A dystopian novel where food and calories are not just restricted but are considered sin… and a girl who just wants to eat. A fascinating novel.
Weekly Snap
Baby Pippin. When we first got him at 8 weeks old this rope was as long as him.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for wondering.
