Although I’ve been a published author now since 2011,
this September will be my very first experience with NetGalley, a service that
matches readers willing to post reviews with free digital copies of books. My publisher had not been involved in the
program until this year, so I’m very excited to now have an opportunity to
introduce my novels to avid readers and hopefully garner some additional
reviews, which are so important on retail sites.
My latest release, Haunted Souls, is scheduled for NetGalley in October,
since the Halloween season is perfect for ghost stories. Then a slot opened up for September, and we
decided to put one of my backlist titles, Divine Fall, into the opening. Although it came out in 2014, it will still
be “new” to many readers in this crowded market, and since the story takes
place in September, it’s a good fit. In
fact, the word “Fall” in the title not only refers to the season, but also
fallen angels and falling in love. And
in this case, it’s an unexpected and dangerous fall into a forbidden
relationship.
Last autumn, the prestigious BookBub posted a
wonderful article on 14 Perfect Novels for Fall, and Divine Fall was on it, along with some very popular books by well-known authors like Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber, Lisa Kleypas, Elizabeth Lowell, and Diane Setterfield (The Thirteenth Tale was one of my favorite books...it's such a match for my tastes that not one but TWO of my friends bought it for me for my birthday...so seeing my title next to it on a recommendation list was a huge moment!) I'm hoping this fall it will be a good fit for readers' lists as autumn once again approaches.
So if you’re on NetGalley and you’re a fan of Young
Adult Paranormal Romance, Forbidden first love, and supernatural secrets, put
in a request for Divine Fall! And next
month, look for Haunted Souls, a steamy military romance mixed with a ghost
mystery. Happy reading!
