Hey guys!
I just wanted to share that my book baby comes into the world on 4/20, and preorders for both ebook and paperback are now OPEN! You’ll be able to purchase both at most of the big retailers, but for now, the paperback is available through Barnes & Noble.
For some reason, the rollout from Ingram Sparks can lag with some stores. Don’t give me side eye, I don’t make the rules lol.
With that being said, some of the reviews from my ARC team are trickling in, and I’m over the moon.
An Excerpt…
“Not only does Leslie ground us in the lives of these people, but she also brings them to life through relatable connections and real-life observations about the struggles of survival. We see how the characters struggle through their mundane routines while also struggling to make sense of the growing horrors (both mythical and human) around them. As we follow these characters over several years, we find moments of our own lives seeded in their experiences. The loyalty, hardships, and terrors these people face make the unknown entity that is luring them all to the forest even more terrifying.
To layer the story more, Leslie gives us an entity that is equally terrifying and alluring in its approach. Like a siren of the forest, the entity in Stix shows off the beauty of the dense forests while exploiting the community member’s deepest fears and desires. Leslie’s writing is reminiscent of Jennifer McMahon’s period chapters that highlight the deep connections of families and the lengths people will go to in order to save what they love.
Stix is engaging, gruesome, and near impossible to put down.”
I mean…
The release of this book is right up there with the birth of my kids—okay, maybe not quite that high, but it definitely beats graduating from college lol. And I’d just like to thank you guys for sticking around, opening my newsletters, and being too lazy to unsubscribe even if you hate the content. I see you lol, and I appreciate you.
And since you’re still hanging out, I wanted to let you know that THE HILLS KNOW will also be coming to the party on 4/20. I’ll be running a promo for a free copy that week!
Guys, I just—thank you. For everyone that’s encouraged me, read my work, left reviews… You mean the world to me.
Congratulations!!
On my way to order the paperback! It took all of my self-control not to snag an ARC spot but I knew I am reviewing it on pub day anyway! I CANNOT WAIT to see the novel expansion I love this story.
