KISS THE GIRL pre-order campaign & tour! [with links]
Buy a book and get free stuff
The two months leading up to release are chaos. I have done this 20 times, and every books comes with its own challenges, fears, excitement, and expectations. It’s 31 flavors of writer anxiety. I suppose for non-writer folk, it’s like someone telling you to enjoy your wedding or massive party, except you can’t truly sink in and revel in the celebration because you’re thinking about everything and everyone else.
I don’t know if this time will be different. I feel like I need a chaperone to remind me to relax, sink into the moment. ENJOY the fruits of my labor. I’ll try. I promise.
For this book, Kiss the Girl, I’ve decided to commission some art and do a fun giveaway. It’s a bit ambitious because June is shaping up to be hectic and fun. I’m writing a book (Star Wars!), attending a book conference (come see me if you’re at Book Bonanza!) and turning 36 all before going home to Ecuador for the month of July.
Here’s the art by Yasmín Flores Montanez, who also illustrated my Shark-Girl vs. Namor one-shot for Marvel!
The print will have a holographic finish and measures 5.5X8.5”
I can’t seem to write a book without a fuzzy mascot. This will make sense after you read Kiss the Girl but for now, here’s. acute guinea pig riding a shooting star! Art by Cherriielle!
I know. Such cute. Too much cute!

MOVIES:
I watched the Dungeons & Dragons movie. I have not played the game so I went into it for Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez. It was amazing. I loved every second of it. I need to watch it again with a bowl of candy and some popcorn and just enjoy every second of it again. By the end, I was like, how am I crying over D&D!?
More soon. For now, love love love,
