My book comes out in 3 days. No, I'm not well.

We’re coming down to the wire now and I’ve become unhinged.  

THE REAPER’s official release date is on Thursday 10th but it’s already been dispatched to those who preordered from Waterstones, and it’s been in bookshops since the 3rd. Thanks to my debut discord server, which has a “Books in the Wild” channel for people to post photos of each other’s books on shelves, I know that this is totally normal! On Saturday, I was in Victoria and decided to pop into the Waterstones there – and there was THE REAPER! In the New Releases section. I visited again today and saw it was gone. I went to the counter to see if there were any more, but the bookseller said they wouldn’t be getting more copies until Thursday – so it looks like someone bought it! 

In other news, I’m currently sitting at #22 for Amazon’s Hot New Releases in Horror Fantasy, which is amazing! THE REAPER has an orange ribbon – days before release!  

Tomorrow, I’ll be at Goldsboro Books to sign their stock, and in a couple weeks I’ll be doing the same at Forbidden Planet. Over the weekend I had a lovely chat with Megan from The Well Read Podcast as well as Jamie Greenwood from Write and Wrong – two of my favourite bookish podcasts. The episodes will release later this month. 

More people at work have started congratulating me on the book. They are so lovely.  

Onwards and upwards to pub day!
