Fairyloot Special Edition
I announced not on but TWO special editions this week, and they’re looking absolutely stunning. First up, Fairyloot is doing an exclusive edition of AN EDUCATION IN MALICE! It features an exclusive cover, artwork on the hardcover by one of my favorite illustrators Therese of Warick Art, character endpaper artwork by Therese, digitally sprayed edges, and yes, it’s hand signed by me! I’m absolutely obsessed with the wine color they chose, and those queen of the night flower edges!
From Fairyloot: “This is NOT part of our normal monthly subscriptions and if you wish to order a book, they will be available in the Fairy Trove (we ship to many countries worldwide). Early Access emails will be sent on February 26th at 1pm GMT to UK/INT active subscribers and 4pm GMT to US/Canada active subscribers. If we have copies remaining, they will be available to the public on February 27th at 1pm GMT for UK/INT customers and 4pm GMT for US/Canada customers from the Fairy Trove.”
Evocation Limited Edition First Print Run
The first print run of EVOCATION (regardless of where you buy the book from!) will include some special features! Just LOOK at that red ribbon bookmark, the candlelit endpapers, and the black naked hardcover with silver foiled boards!
Supplied are limited, so I suggest pre-ordering ASAP to secure your copy before they sell out! Because everyone deserves a little something special <3
Events
U.K. Events
I’m SO thrilled to finally reveal that I will be going on a UK tour in May to celebrate the EVOCATION launch, courtesy of Angry Robot and Black Crow PR! My UK readers have shown me so much love from the very beginning, and I can’t even express how excited I am to connect with them on their turf. There are some amazing events in the works, so keep an eye on your email for the city reveals and event announcements!
U.S EVENTS
If you’re near the Boston area I would love to see you in person on February 20th at my EDUCATION IN MALICE launch event! We’re going to be ringing in the release by talking about dark academia, gothic fiction, sapphic love, and ambitious women! Tickets are free but be sure to RSVP to secure your spot.
And if you can’t make it to the live event, I’ve got two virtual events lined up on my Instagram live with the phenomenal Hannah Whitten and the astounding Sydney Shields. Sydney and I are chatting at 7pm ET on February 1st, and Hannah and I are chatting at 9pm ET on February 15th! Follow my IG so you don’t miss it when we go live, and remember to bring your questions for the Q&A!
Signed Copies of AN EDUCATION IN MALICE
If you’re keen on getting your hands on a signed copy of AEIM, they are available through Brookline Booksmith! You can pick up your signed book at the event OR have the bookstore ship it to you wherever you are! Simply specify that you’d like a signed copy in the order form at checkout and I’ll put my special personal touch on it!
A Small Plea From Saint
Stunningly, EVOCATION is currently number 31 in the ENTIRE BARNES AND NOBLE STORE! Getting into the top 20 is a personal dream of mine, so if you’ve been considering preordering this queer urban fantasy romance about ancestral demon deals, exes becoming lovers, and found family, I would SO appreciate if you could throw your preorder hat into the ring here to help me break through that ceiling. Honestly, the fact that a urban fantasy novel about the lives and loves of magicians without huge world-ending stakes made it this far is breathtaking, and I’m already so grateful for everyone one of you. But if you’re in the mood to snag that limited edition first printing before it sells out….link below.
Phew, what a big email! I don’t have reading or watching updates for you this week since I’m deep in dayjob and deadline, so I’ll leave you with my love! Be safe and well until we two meet again!
