🚨COVER REVEAL🚨

Time to share the cover of my next YA romantic fantasy, A CRUEL THIRST!

A CRUEL THIRST:

A fledgling vampire and a headstrong vampire huntress must work together–against their better judgment–to rid the world of monsters in this irresistible romantic fantasy.

On average. How many author/illustrator events by traditionally published writers and artists do you attend in the Bronx on a monthly basis?

Hey Good Morning America can you invite me on to discuss the overwhelming amount of author/illustrator events in NYC but the dearth of events that happen in the Bronx?

Happy book birthday to this week’s new releases! 📚

Novels are such a collaborative effort, so I wanted to take this time to share my acknowledgements with you. I would be nothing without my beta readers and team, thank you.

Thank you for believing in me and investing in me HarperTeen.

Indy friends! I’m super excited to be in conversation with one of my favorite writers, Kayla Ancrum ✨on Deadline✨ on 3/29 at Loudmouth Books! ICARUS is such a wonderful book (think PORTRAIT OF A THIEF but make it YA) and I hope you’ll come celebrate it with us ✨ eventbrite.com/e/k-ancrum-in-…

This is such a GREAT thread! I have so many thoughts as a publicist, but it’s probably better for a blog post or something lol. But what I will say is ask about ppl’s experiences, but keep in mind that you might not experience the same thing or have the same results

yes, and-ing this:

Something I think about constantly is the difference between being an expert on your craft/experience/process and being an *authority* on a topic at large. That difference matters.

Love this thread. Publishing information has gotten deeply de-centralized & I'm seeing more and more of the marketing tactics Claribel describes.

There's great info out there, generous and expert people offering it, but there's also a lot of fear-mongering & mis-leading stuff
