It's happening!!!
I wanted to hop on here first before I told anyone else. What I once called UNDER THE INFLUENCE - changed because Simon & Schuster, our distributor, already had a book with that title that came out in 2023 - is now THANKS FOR WATCHING.
And it's coming out next year!! EARLY next year, even! In the Spring!! OMG.
Am I freaking out? I am freaking out. But I'm so excited to have this book on the shelves and in libraries! Inimitable Books, my incredible publisher, also has International Editions (English language paperbacks outside of the US & Canada) coming soon, so I'm hoping it will be available to as many of y'all as possible. :)
I have a YouTube announcement that I filmed last night and am hoping to finish editing to go live today or tomorrow that can answer some more questions. But I'd LOVE to have a Patreon livestream/celebration with you guys this weekend. I know it's totally last minute (this whole thing has been a whirlwind), but if you're available, we can hang out and do some writing/reading sprints on Saturday at 11:30am CDT. You can find the link here. :)
To get mushy gushy for a second here, I really could not have done this without y'all. In fact! This was the project I worked on during our entire 100KQ4 Challenge last year. Having this community has filled me with such a confidence and optimism that so much of publishing will be a "when" and not an "if" and our ability to uplift and help one another truly makes me smile every day.
Thank you all so incredibly much. I really appreciate you.
I hope you're having a great week. I hope July treated you well. And I'm so pumped to begin spooky season with Augtober tomorrow. (What better time to be revising a murder mystery???)
Thank you again. And happy writing!
