Book Update Open Thread : The Radiance of the Moon
Where are you in the publishing process?
We’re done!
ARC Reader Information:
Expect to receive an email on January 12 with a copy of your e-book. Depending on your indicated preference you’ll be added to either a Facebook group, or an Instagram chat (most of you have selected this option).
Launch Team Information:
Same directions as above, but you will also receive a pack of images for your use on social media. At the end of your time on launch team expect to receive a special gift from me via mail.
For Both ARC Readers & Launch Team:
In your Instagram chat or Facebook group expect to find a Bingo card. Each Bingo space will have an optional task to complete. If you get “Bingo” you’ll be entered to win 1 of 5 $50 Amazon Gift Cards. I’ll also check in every few days to say hi and ask you how you’re enjoying the book. You’ll have from January 12-February 27 to complete the book and leave honest reviews on Goodreads, Amazon & Bookbub, but expect me to go quiet on the group & chat at the end of week 2.
What if I don’t enjoy the book?
No pressure to finish. You don’t have to message me and let me know you DNF, and you don’t have to leave a review.
When is the release date?
Tuesday, February 27, 2024. Why? So you get a chance to enjoy it during the St. Patrick’s Day season. I drew inspiration for my entire series from St. Patrick’s Breastplate, that is how I chose my release date. It’s my way of giving a wink to God, that prayer has meant the world to me the last two years. You could say I’m a fan. :)
Will it be available for preorder?
The e-book is now live for preorder (which you can do here). You can also add it to your Kindle Unlimited library.
Audiobook, paperbacks, and hardcovers will not be available for pre-order. This is Amazon indie criteria. We all hate it. It is what it is.
What formats will the book be available in?
Audiobook, E-Book, Paperback, and Hardcover.
Is this a series?
YES! This is a planned 9 book series of the Hebridean Shield, with room for novellas, and I’ve also planned 1 prequel to release before the final book.
Can you tell me anything about the second book yet?
YES! I am pleased to announce that the second book, The Splendor of Fire, is complete and is planned for release in Fall 2024. Watch this space in the spring for the cover and blurb.
What are you working on now?
Polishing book 3 and beginning book 4.
