Predestined is on Netgalley!
Oh my gosh, I have so much to share!! Jumping right in.
Predestined updates first!
1. You can now request an e-ARC (advance review copy) of Predestined on NetGalley!
And here’s my obligatory reminder that the ARC is printed after copy edits but before proofreads. I sent back the proofread copy with 1,900 comments, fixing things like word echoes, incorrect scene breaks, missing words, confusing passages and more! While the ARC has the entire story, the finished copy will be much more polished.
Then why should you read the ARC? Because early reviews create hype, and hype encourages booksellers to buy the book for their stores and incentivizes my publisher to put more into promotion. So if you like reading advance copies of books, request Predestined today!
2. My street team and I revealed the first line of Predestined on social media last week. Here’s your preview:
3. Predestined discussion questions are now available! Perfect for book clubs and class discussions! Warning: Don’t click the link unless you’re okay with spoilers.
4. We’re just over three months from launch. Please place your preorder now if you haven’t already! Those early purchases send a signal to bookstores and publishers that people are craving my books!
Onto Soulmatch news!
5. I mentioned a few months ago that librarians voted Soulmatch onto the Georgia Peach Teen Booklist, but I recently learned that it was also added to two others - the Virginia Reads booklist and the Flume Teen Book Award in New Hampshire! Look at my girl go!!!

What I’m reading
So many good books! My TBR is exploding! I absolutely flew through Veronica Bane’s We’re All Going to Die Tonight. Perfect for fans of Scream! Then I read the cutest romance by Mona Shroff, whom I met at the Carroll Book Festival. The title - Road Trip Rivalry - is pretty self-descriptive, but I loved reading about all the Ireland places I’ve visited! I’m just over halfway through and quite obsessed with Shannon J. Spann’s A Stage Set for Villains, whom I also briefly met at the Carroll Book Festival. Cruel Prince vibes all the way.
