one week until Flirting with Disaster!!

Hi friends,

We’re just one week away until Flirting with Disaster comes out!! So, some quick things:

Events!

• January 14: I’ll be at Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston with Melanie Sweeney!! The brilliant author of Take Me Home! I loved Melanie’s debut and I’m so excited for her next book, Where You’re Planted! Melanie’s next book also takes place in Houston, in the aftermath of a hurricane, and we’re going to have so many fun things to talk about. If you haven’t read her debut yet, you need to get on that ASAP!

• January 16: I’ll be at Book People in Austin with Ali Hazelwood!! I was lucky enough to do an event with Ali last year for Say You’ll Be Mine and we had the best time. I promise it’ll be just as fun, and silly, and goofy this time too!

Pre-Order

• US Pre-orders!

I’m sure you’ve heard just how much pre-orders matter to authors, and I’m so appreciative of anyone who’s preordered this book! If you’d still like to do that, you can preorder at any retailer of your choice!

And if you’d like a signed copy and some character art, you can pre-order from Blue Willow Bookshop by January 11th!!

• UK Pre-orders!

And if you’re in the UK, my UK publisher is doing a giveaway and anyone who’s preordered is eligible to enter!!

Virtual Event

This Sunday, I’m joining an IG live hosted by Ayushi (@bookwormbullet) and I’m so excited to chat with her and Ava Rani about these books and South Asian romance, so please join us for this!!!

Giveaways

There are a couple giveaways running on my Instagram right now!

First up, I’m giving away a signed, finished copy of Flirting with Disaster and a signed copy of Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood!!! You can head over to my page to enter:

The comments are really fun with people adding their favorite things to buy at HEB (my grocery list just grew so much longer)! If you don’t know what HEB is, it’s a grocery store chain in Texas that people here are very loyal to! I love it so much, and even mention my love for HEB in my author bio!

The other giveaway running right now is for an ARC of Myah Ariel’s next book NO ORDINARY LOVE! I read it over the holidays and LOVED it!! While you’re waiting for it to come out, you should definitely read Myah’s debut WHEN I THINK OF YOU, because it is a masterpiece! You can enter the giveaway here.

This giveaway is part of a new monthly series Ellie Palmer and I are starting, where we will be highlighting a romance author every month and the causes they love! Every month, we’ll be giving away a book by that author and sharing a mutual aid fund or nonprofit in their community doing amazing work! Donations are not required to enter the giveaway, but they are encouraged!! This month, Myah Ariel chose Miss Rodgers’ Neighborhood!

And if you’d like to, you can donate here!

I’m really excited about this series and we have so many great authors and causes to share with you over the next few months!!!
