August 2021 Newsletter

/

Greetings, Extraspecialterrestrials!

It’s August, and that means it’s my book’s birthday month! UNDER THE MILKY WAY will hit the bookstores across North America on the 10th. I’m so thankful for the reviews that have started rolling in. Reviewer Daisy on Goodreads said, "I consumed this book in one sitting (finished within two hours).” So great to hear that, Daisy — thank you!

I have so much to tell you. In fact, I might have to send out two newsletters this month! Forgive me…

The winner of my exclusive subscriber giveaway is Robyn E.H. Congratulations! Robyn will receive a signed paperback, a UFO Spotter’s Notebook, Milky Way chockies and a one-of-a-kind UTMW tote bag.

In case you missed my first-ever live author chat, you can find it on YouTube. I had the best time chatting and laughing with my fellow Entangled Teen authors Molly E. Lee and Shakir Rashaan. Thank you, Brittany Zimmerman, for keeping us in line!

Keep your eyes peeled for my upcoming YouTube interview about writing tips with Karlie and Brooke.
