book trailer!! plus various other updates!
Hi friends and readers!! Welcome to this MAY (aka DEBUT MONTH) edition of my author newsletter. For more info on what this newsletter is, see the about page. For more info on who I am, check out my website.
I’m freaking out over this iconic book trailer
So my debut novel, Burn It All Down, comes out in less than two weeks!!! AHHHH!!! As if the excitement weren’t strong enough already, here’s an exclusive FIRST LOOK at the amazing book trailer my publisher produced — I’m extremely obsessed with it:
I know, right? Every time I watch this trailer I think to myself, “Wow! I really wanna read that fucking book!!!” And then I remember I wrote that fucking book and have indeed already read it a zillion times at this point, which is both a ridiculous and amazing thing to realize while in the throes of book-trailer-induced anticipation.
more buzzzzzzzzz
Burn It All Down has gotten some great mentions since my last newsletter!
Logo TV named it one of their “Exciting Queer Books to Savor This Summer.”
Lambda Literary listed it in “May’s Most Anticipated LGBTQ Literature.”
PopSugar called it a “wild, delightful revenge thriller.”
Good Housekeeping (!!) gave it a rave blurb in their Pride reading list. They said:
“Don't try to drink any beverages while reading this laugh-out-loud novel about a mother and son duo who try to exact revenge on their lovers with disastrous results. It's super voicey, entirely too much fun and full of love.”
