Residents of Neverland,  If you follow me on Instagram (which I highly recommend!) then you might have seen that I've finally set a few key dates for "THE RUIN OF STARLIGHT"!  What was holding me back from announcing them earlier? 1. Snagging a perfect cover 2. Signing with a perfect editor 3. Actually finishing the book  And now we are at the most fun junction...Anticipation Station.  So here's what you should keep an eye out for:  JUNE 8: COVER REVEAL I adore and cannot wait to share the cover for TRoS with you all! I look at it every day, it's such a perfect pair with book one.  This day will also be the launch of the Ebook preorders.  This year there will be no physical preorders, as I am printing exclusively with Amazon (and they don't offer paperback preorders! The bane of many author's existence.) You WILL be able to order paperback copies come release day, though.  DECEMBER 1: ARC LAUNCH Sending out Advanced Reader Copies was one of my favorite parts of the publishing process for book one, so I am of course bound to do it again for book two! If you weren't around for the last time, the process is pretty easy: 1. It will be set up and distributed through Book Sirens 2. You will have a few months to read an early copy (which is a post-editing 'draft', but could have some minor tweaks and changes from the final published version) 3. You leave an honest review for the novel on your platform of choice (Socials, Goodreads, etc.) 4. You have all of my love and affection from now until the end of time!  So if any of that interests you, catch up with me on Instagram or watch this space for more info closer to December.  MARCH 5: RELEASE DAY Get the fairy wine and pirate rum ready, because release day will be here before we know it!  APRIL 15: NEW PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT Oh boy. This is exciting. Not only do I have another project ready in the wings, but the novel is actually DONE. (So that means no waiting 2+ years for a new Juliet Lockwood book!)  Do you want a hint?  Okay...  Young Adult. Fantasy. Duology. Gods. Royal Hunts. Forced Proximity. A Sprinkle of Found Family.  And I'll save the rest for April 15th.  As always, thanks for reading, and I hope you're just as excited as I am for all of these reveals and releases!  Juliet Lockwood |
