I spirited my love away for the weekend at a lake house as an early birthday present for him. Soaking in winter sun & books & long conversations by the water. ☀️

Hi hello! It’s time for me to unveil my preorder campaign for THE QUEEN’S RESISTANCE and I am so excited to share this with you all! ✨
*
*
EVERYONE who preorders will receive a PDF file of “The Passion Sister Letters.” (Swipe to see a sneak peek of one!). This was a chapter that was deleted from my very first draft of TQR, and if you’ve ever wondered what life was like for Brienna’s sisters after the solstice, here’s a glimpse into their new roles. The PDF will have 5 letters total & will include the following:
*
*
✨ A letter from Ciri ✨ A letter from Abree ✨ A letter from Oriana ✨ A letter from Sibylle ✨ A letter from Merei ✨
*
*
If you cannot afford to preorder my book (I know sometimes budgets & paychecks mean us bookworms must decide what we can buy & what we should instead borrow), you can still receive the PDF of these letters by requesting THE QUEEN’S RESISTANCE at your local library (please go to my blog—link in bio—to learn more about this).
*
*
ONE GRAND PRIZE WINNER, RANDOMLY DRAWN, WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING (swipe to get a closer look at these items):
*
*
1. Brienna’s Book of Knowledge. When I found this on Etsy, I knew one of my readers needed to win it! This book will include hard copies of the passion sister letters & a few pages of ephemera, in case you want to transform it into your own journal. ✨
2. Two essential oil rollers, provided by Aly of @essentially_aly .”Valor” is made of Black Spruce, Camphor Wood, Geranium, Blue Tansy & Frankincense oils. The second roller is my own favorite “Writing Blend” infused with Peppermint, Lavender & Northern Lights Black Spruce. I diffused this blend when I was revising THE QUEEN’S RESISTANCE and to this day it still makes me think of Maevana! ✨
3. Swag! Portraits of Brienna & Cartier by artist @mynxmania and a quote woodmark made & designed by Paris of @inkandwonder.designs . ✨
4. Your very own passion cloak. Color depends on which passion you choose! (Swipe to the last picture to see examples of 2 of the cloaks). ✨

Please visit my blog (link in my bio) to learn more about how to enter the campaign.

Thank you so much for all of your support & excitement! ✨

This past weekend, I took a trek through the woods with my sister and we stopped at one of my favorite childhood haunts. Lots of girlhood dreams and schemes and memories were made at this river. ✨ Things I would tell my fourteen year old self, who once sat perched on this very rock long ago: you are lovely and brave and you have so many wonderful things ahead of you. Keep going and dreaming and carving your path.✨

Painting constellations and listening to THE QUEEN’S RESISTANCE playlist because…drumroll…I have selected my Street Team! ✨ Let me start off by saying how amazing all of you are—so many of you signed up! I was literally blown away!—and I wish I could share a coffee or tea with each of you, so we could talk in person about our favorite books and characters and ambitions. ✨ Choosing this team was hard, because I want to choose all of you. ✨ I have emailed the readers selected for the team, so check your spam folders to make sure you see my email and respond. And for the readers who did not receive an email from me…thank you again for applying! I’m still so grateful for you, and I have a grand prize for one of you to win, which will include the portraits, a woodmark and an early copy of THE QUEEN’S RESISTANCE! I’ll be drawing the winner for this giveaway once my author copies arrive! ✨ Street Team—your swag will be mailed out soon, so keep your eyes peeled! ✨ (at Georgia)
