I’ve been having so much fun stopping by Little Free Libraries all summer long and leaving copies of ELIXIR BOUND with a code for an ARC of the upcoming second book in the Elixir series, ELIXIR SAVED. I have a pictures to share, but first an event announcement!
My stop on the CT Authors Trail is coming up on Monday, August 5 at 6:00 pm at the Voluntown Public Library, which is located at 107 Main Street, Vountown, CT 06384. In addition to learning about the inspiration behind my books, there will be games, writing prompts, signed books, photo ops, and maybe a sneak peek at ELIXIR SAVED (if I’m feeling brave!).
And now for the summer reading fun I’ve been having with Little Free Libraries and the Elixir series. States visited so far include Connecticut (of course), Virginia, and Vermont, with one on the way in New York. I’ve loved checking out the different themes people and organizations have come up with for their little libraries. We’ve encountered The Lorax, space, and a couple of beachy ones.
The boys have enjoyed picking up a book at a few of our stops as well! I think my favorite one so far was a bright yellow one, not because it looked particularly special but because it was at the soccer field dedicated in memory of my sister, Kylene.
I’ve been posting pictures on all my social media accounts (find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), so you can follow along as I drop off the rest. You can also get the latest updates on my progress on ELIXIR SAVED. I finally finished the big revision I was working on (about a month late), and now I’m getting the final scenes written and the three POVs organized so I can send it out to my beta readers. I’ll also be contacted my cover artist soon to get working on that. Yay! I’ve tentatively set a November 2019 release date, so get ready for another journey into the world of the Elixir!
I’ve been thinking about doing just such a thing with a few of the little free libraries in my neighborhood, only I never seem to remember to take copies of my books when I go for walks. I figured that if my publisher can do an occasional giveaway of the Ebook version, I can do the print one here and there.
Let us know how and if you get any feedback on this lovely venture.
P.S. Aren’t these little book houses adorable?
Those little libraries are so adorable! I had about ten copies of Elixir Bound with the old cover hanging around. Instead of having them around collecting dust, I figured I’d give them away. The little libraries and summer reading were a perfect fit. I’ll definitely keep you updated about how the venture goes. Already it’s made for great photo ops on all my social media, so if nothing else, I’m reminding all my followers that I have books available.
I love the little free libraries! So fun and a great way to share the books of your heart. That soccer field in honor of your sister is so wonderful. May she always rest in heavenly peace.
I love the little libraries, too! It’s been fun searching for them on my travels but also discovering some close by that I didn’t know about. I keep an eye out for them whenever we drive around. Thanks for the kind thoughts for my sister. <3
