Hi, it's monthly update time! This month, I have an exclusive opportunity to beta read the second book in the Amefyre series, a final opportunity to get a free advanced copy of book one, and some general updates. What has been happening this month in my life, you ask? I've been quite busy, the fair weather in the UK is drawing me back to the surface. Writing, wise, it's been mediumly productive (moderately is probably a better word, Rachel). I've also been dippin' my feet more firmly into TikTok, which actually resulted in my first semi 'viral' video - it got 84,000 views! This meant nearly 200 more people added A POCKET OF LIES to their TBR, and around 30 people pre-ordered the eBook. Ain't that neat. When you get the June newsletter, A POCKET OF LIES will have been out in the world for two weeks! I feel a little sick. I'm joking. Sorta. I'm mostly excited. |

A Pocket of Lies Releasing June 9th 130 ARCs are currently out in the world, and I've had a lot of really positive reviews and reception so far (see snip of the current GoodReads rating!). If you didn't get an ARC, and you're keen to read and review it in the next few weeks, check the BookSirens link at the end of this email. [Paperbacks are not available until launch] | | |

[Newsletter Exclusive Opportunity]Beta Readers Wanted Have you read A Pocket of Lies? Would you like to read A Promise of Blood (book 2)? Would you like the chance to shape the Amefyre series? Do you have time to read it in June? Are you willing to look past a number of typos and odd phrasings and provide me with feedback within a few weeks?
If you said yes to all... I need you! I'm looking to find a handful of beta readers to read A Promise of Blood, Book 2 in the Amefyre Trilogy, and provide some feedback. This would be a free exchange, where I send you an eBook version of the current draft, and request some honest feedback. You would be under no obligation to review the book on any platform, and instead would be crucial to the development of the book. Note: this is wholly separate to the ARC sign up, that form will likely go out next month for an August distribution. If you're interested, please follow the link below and fill out the form. |
