Writing World: Hello February

Hello February! I’ve been waiting for you…

My debut novel, Oppression, comes out this month! I can’t believe I can finally say that. It felt like February would never come. These next 27 days are going to be excruciatingly long…in a good way. It sort of feels like the first day of December when I start counting down to Christmas (I’m a sucker for Christmas).
Though release day is still 27 days away, ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) of Oppression have been distributed. Yes. People are reading it RIGHT NOW. It’s a crazy feeling. I really love the idea of ARCs. It’s fun to let people in on the book before it hits the market. I feel like I’m sharing a really good secret. Thanks to all of you ARC readers out there. I appreciate it and hope you are enjoying Oppression!
To celebrate the first day of release month I wanted to reveal the back cover of Oppression. Some of you may have already seen it, but for those who haven’t…here it is! I absolutely love it.

Also, as a reminder, if you want to sign up for the Virtual Launch Party for Oppression or the Blog Tour, there is still time! Click here to sign up for the launch party or here for the blog tour. Thanks!

What are you looking forward to this month?
