It’s release day! You guys, I am so incredibly excited that you all finally – FINALLY – get to read McKenzie’s story.
How have I spent my day? In between feeding babies and changing diapers, I’ve been reading all the Happy Release Day tweets from you guys, checking Facebook and email, and grinning at all the photos my friends and family are sending me of my book in their hands or on the shelves of bookstores (right by Tad Williams’ OTHERLAND series!). This evening, we’re going out to dinner sans babies then dropping by my local B&N to see The Shadow Reader in all its glory. I hope they have it on the shelves!
And the celebrating doesn’t end there! My mom (who is SO over-the-moon excited for me) is throwing me a release party! I’m really looking forward to seeing my family, and for most of that family to see the boys for the first time. It’s gonna be great!
I hope you all enjoy The Shadow Reader! Oh, and I almost forgot. If you’re heading out to Barnes & Noble, they have a 10% off one item coupon posted on their website. It’s good until October 31st, so enjoy!
Congrats, Sandy! I’m sooooo happy for you! 🙂
Thank you!!! It’s awesome to see it on the shelves! Can’t wait for your big day!
Want a picture of it on my Nook? 😉 Congrats!!!
hehe One of my friends sent me a pic with it on their e-reader. 🙂 I’m tempted to buy the Kindle version just so I have it with me at all times.
Actually, when I put it that way, it sounds like a great idea. *off to buy my own book*
Hi I loved the book! I read a review from all things urban fantasy and I had been looking for the next big thing after karen moning’ s fever series. I ha e been disappointed lately but I found your book. Every time I really enjoy a book I go looking to get information on the next one. I couldn’t find any so wanted to know when book 2 is coming out? Ps excuse my writing I am using my phone.
Hi Tanya! So happy you enjoyed it! I loved Abigail’s review on All Things Urban Fantasy – she totally got the book. 🙂 Regarding book two, I actually don’t know when it’s scheduled to be released, but I’ll ask next week and let you know. I’m still working on it (pregnancy and having newborn twins has put me behind schedule) and will turn it in on December 1st. Then it has to go through edits, copy edits, and all that good stuff.
Thanks for stopping by, and for taking a risk with a newbie author’s book.
Hey Sandy Lisa here congrats on the book!
Hey Sandy Lisa here congrats on the book! How are the twins doing? I’m so happy for you!
Hi Lisa!

I heard back from my editor. Book two is tentatively scheduled for late October/early November of next year. Sorry it’s such a long wait! Hopefully it will be worth it. 🙂
Congratulations with he twins 🙂 I agree that the book was awesome and I am glad I read it! I’m sure the wait will be worth it!
Congratulations.
It’s one of the best books I read in a while. Waiting for the next one, more or less patiently.
heh I’m working on the second book just as fast as I can! 🙂
Thanks for reading!
This book was very hard to put down. I have read a
few other books over the last couple of months. Normally it would take a week or two to find time to finish each book. Untill The Shadow Reader I forgot what it was like to be dying to find out whats going to happen on not only the next page but the next sentence!Anyway thank you so much for this amazing book I look forward to next year to find out what’s next for McKenzie.
Thank you so much! It’s awesome to hear that the book was un-put-downable. 🙂
Thanks for reading!
I loved this book!! Pleas tell me there are sequels planned!
Oh, just read some of the earlier comments and realized you already answered my question. Never mind.
Any tentative names for book two?
I think we have a title – a GREAT title! – I’m just waiting to see if it’s approved by the publisher. Should know soon, and I’ll definitely post it when I can!
