It's Release Week!
Amanda Marquardt
November 10, 2024
Mark your calendars!
When Sparks Fly will officially be live in the world this coming Friday, November 15th! I won’t spam you all week with emails about this, but I will send a friendly reminder on Friday to post reviews, for any who have had the opportunity to read already. As you can imagine, reviews close to release are extremely important, especially in the case of indie authors. Sharing a review on Amazon, Goodreads, your favorite alternate site like BookBub or StoryGraph, and even social media, can increase exposure and is SO appreciated! I already thank you so much for all of your support so far! All of your engagement, reviews, and notes have been so incredibly special to me. |  |
It’s crazy to think that in January of this year, I picked up an idea that had been on my shelf for ten years, and decided to see what would happen if I completed it. This story is vastly different than what I anticipated, but I am so incredibly proud of how it turned out and I can’t wait for you all to read it!
When Sparks Fly will be available on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback from Amazon. It will be going wide at some point, so stay tuned for updates on how to find it in a store near you.
The A-Team
If you missed the announcement last week, I’ve opened up the A-Team, my reader street team. Maybe you loved your ARC copy of When Sparks Fly and you want to share more with other readers, or maybe you’re a super fan of small-town romance and love helping indie authors. If these apply to you, check out the application link!
Aside from sharing love for my books, A-Team members have access to an exclusive giveaway, increasing their chances of free goodies! I’ll be sending out an email to A-Team members today with a fun way to earn extra entries and the details of that giveaway, which will include a signed paperback copy of When Sparks Fly!
Small Town Double Giveaway
 | In celebration of both of our releases this week, Elle Ashwell, author of In Full Bloom - Wildflower Ridge Book 1, and I are teaming up to bring you a double giveaway! In Full Bloom releases on Wednesday, November 13th! She had me at “a one-night-stand turns into whoops he’s the boss”, but if you love a single dad, workplace romance, this one is for you! Stay tuned for all the giveaway details on Instagram! This IS open internationally! |
Helping the Bookish Community
If you’re a fan of audiobooks, you may know the name Brandon Francis. Brandon is an extremely talented narrator, whose audiobook titles include Madame by Sara Cate, Unchain Me and Unbreak Me by C.A. Grieco, and The Great Vampiric Deception by Jolene Gettler, among others.
Brandon, along with his wife Jocelyne and newborn son Teddy, were living with his grandmother TT in her home of 40 years in Camarillo, California. Sadly, the home was lost to a wildfire on November 6th. While the family managed to escape, the house, including all their belongings and Brandon’s recording studio, were lost to the fire.
If you are able, you can donate to help with their recovery, using the link below.
