Hey there,
I’m letting you in on a bizarre quirk many/most authors have. When they finally convince themselves to sit down and write a newsletter for their readers, they stare at the blinking cursor…and draw a complete blank.
They say writing a newsletter is hard, which is so weird because they can write 400+ page stories, and yet they struggle to come up with a few simple sentences about their books. It’s true, though, especially with my author, and she refuses to hire someone else to handle her email. So I’m stealing her letterhead, going behind her back, and helping her out with… Me!
Wait. What? you’re asking. Who the heck are you?
I’m an especially awesome character from one of Sandy’s past/current/future books—you get to guess which! But my job is to keep you updated without boring you to death, which Sandy claims she does every time she sends a newsletter. (People say that’s not true. Personally? I think it totally is. But that’s a story for another day.)
Anyway, more about me! Feel free to think of me as the best friend, the comic relief, the sidekick!
Or am I the engaging villain? Depends on one’s perspective, doesn’t it? Although you and I both know Sandy’s a huge fan of enemies-to-lovers and frenemies-to-allies (hello Lena and Nora!), so maybe I’m all the above? I’ll give you one hint. I’m a character in my favorite series.
Look at all those lightbulbs not going off over everyone’s heads. :-)
While you’re ruminating on that puzzling puzzle, I want to make it super clear that, yes, a mystery character taking over Sandy’s newsletter because Sandy struggles to write them is…more than a little ironic. I mean, she’s writing me talking about her in the third person. Only weirdos do that, and that’s okay because we both totally accept that label. After all, our bestest friends are fictional characters. Normal is boring. And weird is better than average. <—— oooh, a sticker-worthy quote!
Just wanted to let you guys know what’s up (since Sandy keeps putting off doing it herself *eye roll*). I’ll be back next week. Don’t miss it. I plan to get my fictional hands on the cover Sandy hasn’t shown you yet. That’s right, its the next Kennedy Rain book, A Token of Blood and Betrayal. I’m quite fond of that title, especially since I know how the story ends. *evil grin* You don’t want to miss this one.
Well, you don’t want to miss it unless you haven’t read the first three books! Then you definitely want to put off reading book four the way Sandy puts off writing newsletters. At least you’re problem is easy to solve. All you have to do is finally pick up Kennedy’s series. If you haven’t yet, why are you waiting? This series has a delicious slow burn romance. It has vampires and werewolves and fey and…other species I won’t spoil for you. Plus, not only does it have magic, it has the opposite of magic. It has the Null!
You can totally hop onto your favorite retailer to check it out, but you can also be super awesome and get it from Sandy’s website*, and if you do, you’ll get a prequel novella for free that isn’t available anywhere else. Win-win, amiright? (Plus, the novella is🔥)
And on that note, I’m outta your inbox.
xoxo
Sandy’s might-be-evil sidekick
* Look-y! I made it super easy to go directly to the Kennedy Rain series on Sandy’s site. But you can always buy from your favorite retailer. Oh! And be sure to leave a review! Sandy feels soooo awkward asking for that, but I don't!
