Brand New Mailing List

I've got news! Sort of. It's small news. I have been bouncing the idea around for a while now of creating a brand new mailing list from scratch, since I never really figured out how to get the first one going with any consistency. They have a ton of new tools nowadays for organizing and scheduling email newsletters, so I'm going to try this again! I've got a lot of topics and exclusive goodies and such that I plan on covering in these emails, but I promise I won't spam your inbox. My goal is to send out a newsletter every other week, unless I have some giant news to announce (like, say, a publishing deal...wishful thinking).

Here's some of the things I've got planned as benefits for signing up for this brand new awesome mailing list:

• First chance to get eyes on my forthcoming books and any WIPs by signing up as a beta reader (feedback for me to make changes) or ARC reader (to leave a review ahead of official release date). So like...you'd get to read those books before anyone else gets a chance to, because I'd share the link directly with YOU prior to releasing it at large on the website or putting a call out on socials.

• Exclusive excerpts from WIPs that no one else has seen.

• Secret sales and discount codes for books & merch.

• Sneak previews of any art or music projects (rock on).

• Behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process.

• And when I finally get around to finishing this dang short story ("Poisoned Plums") that I announced the other week, you'll get first eyes on that! It'll be exclusively released to those who sign up for my fabulous emailing list.

• More extensive excerpts and tidbits from my doctoral research into narratives of steppe nomad warrior women in ancient through medieval literature and folklore that aren't going to be covered here on the blog.

• Better (containing spoilers) book reviews of what I'm reading and loving.

• Any fun things my author/artist/musician friends are also up to that need a boost!

• And so many other things! Drop a comment below to let me know what you're most looking forward to seeing, or if there's something else you'd like me to include in my email newsletters!
