First and foremost: I need to give a humungous thank you to YOU! MY LOVELY DEVIANTS. You are one of the many people making my indie-author dreams come true, and I genuinely cannot thank you enough for being here and investing in this series. I know chronological series('?) aren't as popular as interconnected standalone series(es?) are, and that you're legitimately taking a risk on me--AND these books. For that, I am so, insanely, incredibly grateful. I am going to do my absolute BEST to crank these books out as fast as I possibly can. I'm already on chapter 35 of book three, and will hopefully have it released by the end of next year (possibly sooner, if I can make enough money from this side gig to quit my job and devote myself to writing full-time, wink-wink).
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. <3
Secondly, we hit some INCREDIBLE milestones in September. If you missed it, here's the recap:
...and I could not have accomplished these numbers without YOU GUYS, again, taking a chance on me. It has been absolutely astonishing to open my KDP page and see these breathtaking numbers. If you any one of these numbers was YOU... I'm hugging you in my mind right now (with consent, of course).
Thirdly--without further ado: THE GIVEAWAY.
And the preorder giveaway winner is...
TAIYA FEE!
You've won the FREE SIGNED Depraved Accomplices paperback! Please be on the lookout in your inbox for an email from me! It was such a pleasure meeting you at Edwardsville Book Fair, and I hope you're enjoying Deviant Vandals!
For those of you who didn't win, thank you so much for participating and supporting me! I will have other giveaway chances in the future, so make sure to subscribe and follow my socials for those announcements! I think I'll host a 5k giveaway for when I hit that many followers on Instagram... so make sure you follow me over there ;)
now, if you're thinking, "what else can I do to help?"
If you're already here, chances are, you've already helped me out a ton. For that, I thank you! But yes, there are other things you can do to help make this book launch even more successful!
Share it with your friends!
Tell your book-loving, true-crime obsessed book besties how much you loved book one, and how excited you are to read the sequel! You can send them here to my blog, send them a post from my Instagram, or--obviously--show off your copy!
Read it on Kindle Unlimited!
Kindle Unlimited reads can be crucial to a book launch's success, especially within the first 48 hours of release day. And especially with all the AI slop books clogging up the Amazon and Kindle bestseller lists, the more people actively reading it, the better a book's chances are of climbing the charts!
Leave a review when you're finished!
Reviews are just as--if not more important--than the book sales themselves. If you can spare the extra minute after you finish reading Depraved Accomplices to leave one on Amazon and/or Goodreads (if you read it on Kindle, you should be able to leave a rating that posts to BOTH platforms in just a quick tap when you're finished!) that will help immensely! Even if it's just a rating. And reviews don't have to be anything special or elaborate, either--just let other readers know your thoughts, whatever they may be :)
Request it at your local libraries or bookstores!
This is a huge one--it's one thing for an author to walk into a bookstore and pitch their book, or to fill out an inquisition form on a bookstore's website. It's another thing entirely for the reader to walk in and rave about a book series they are officially obsessed with. I don't know what the real statistic is (if there even is one) but bookstores are probably 80% more likely to shelve a book if the recommendation comes directly from their readers. And, the more readers begging for it, I bet that percentage goes WAY up.
Side note: if you do this, I love you. Also, if a library has low funding or something and would love to shelve it but can't afford it, please have them (or you) reach out to me! I'd happily donate a copy. Because in this house, we #SupportLocalLibraries
two final quick announcements:
If you're officially obsessed with The Detectives of Defiance and want to be the first EVER to read the next installments, I'm planning on opening a GENERAL INTEREST ARC FORM. Everyone who signs up will be forever invited to all future ARC opportunities for the series, or any other books by me that may come out! The only requirements will be that you're 18+ and that you've read and reviewed all previous books (I just gotta make sure you're serious about being on the team, not just searching for a freebie) I'll post the form here on my blog first, so as I said before, make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!
In case you missed it, WE'RE ON DISCORD! Come join the fun!
Now, that's enough from me--you have a book to read ;)
Get your deviant ass back to Defiance, and remember...
don't stray from the trail.
