Well, I’m pleased. After four years of publishing absolutely nothing, The Pansy Paradox had what I consider a very good release week.
I was lucky enough to garner a BookBub New Release for Less deal:
So, how did I celebrate? On Thursday, I had my annual exam and got the flu, COVID, and shingles shots. As one does. I did not time that well. I’m still a little achy, and I’m running a low-grade fever. I’ll keep this short and hopefully have more to say next week.
It’s release day for The Pansy Paradox!
You can buy the novel almost anywhere. You can read for free with a Kobo Plus subscription. Or request it from your local library (in eBook or print).
It’s also release day for The Capstone Conundrum, also known as that time when Henry almost met Pansy.
It’s free for my newsletter subscribers as well. But it’s also on sale everywhere, since I know a lot of people don’t want another newsletter in their lives.
If you’re on the fence about The Pansy Paradox, you can always download the extended preview.
If you decide to read, I so hope you enjoy Pansy, Henry, and their adventures.
Autumn decided to make a grand appearance this week. It’s been chilly enough to pull on sweaters and grab a jacket. That being said, this coming week looks like we’ll have a last hurrah of summer. And if I’m clever, I’ll get myself into the yard. The alternative, of course, is to wait until November, when I don’t have a choice and it’s nothing but a wintery mix.
This week in writing was pre-order and cover reveal week. On next week’s agenda are the print covers (each distributor wants something slightly different for each cover because, of course, they do). Then I’ll move on to getting The Capstone Conundrum on pre-order as well.
This week, I also attended a Little Free Library Steward meetup, which was a lot of fun. I left with an armful of new books for my Little Free Library courtesy of Magers and Quinn.
And speaking of books, I made good progress with the Possession slow read. I’m even ahead (page 85). I’m really enjoying the easy pace of this, and I think that I might use it to tackle books I’ve been meaning to read or reread. (Yeah, Tolstoy, I’m looking at you.)
Oh, look! The Pansy Paradox has a cover!
You know what else it has? An extended preview. A large extended preview, as in 35,000 words worth of previewing. That’s a novella, for those playing at home.
So, what is it all about? You can click through to read the full description (and even start reading in your browser), but essentially:
The Pansy Paradox is a slow-burn, opposites-attract, contemporary romantasy filled with adventure, humor, and, of course, sentient umbrellas.
I hope you enjoy the preview, and if you do, the ebook is already on pre-order.
