A Violet Fire Street Team Applications are LIVE
Hey Everyone! Ready to Hit the Streets?!We are just shy of 2 months out from A Violet Fire releasing into the world for everyone to enjoy, and I need your enthusiastic help! Do you have faith in this book? Do you wish everyone knew about it? Then here is the place to help that become a reality, WHILE winning prizes!
The "A Violet Fire" Street Team Applications are LIVE. Follow this link and you'll be taken to the bare bones application. Rules and point system explanations below!
**Please note that I can only ship prizes to the USA or Canada. If you are an international fan that wants to help, I can work out other virtual prize packs to make it worth your time.**
How to get Street Team Points!
1. Share A Violet Fire Excitement on Social Media/Goodreads/Forums/ETC (valid twice per day until launch, but posts must be at least somewhat different) — Points per post: 3
(In order to build the hype, you have to be the hype! Do you love the book? Tell people why, show people why. Any and all social media will do, but you can get creative! Tag me in the posts so I can keep track <3
2. Preorder A Violet Fire — Points per Preorder: 5
(This one is obviously COMPLETELY optional, but I would love your support! I just need the email confirming delivery of your preorder(s) after launch date for me to award you points. There is no limit to this one. :) )
3. Create A Violet Fire Content — Points per Content: 5 (based on merit) (max of 5 content pieces per person)
(One of my dreams is to have fanart! If you can draw or know your way a bit around photoshop, I would love to see your designs of my characters, or your framework of one of your favorite quotes in my book! Videos? YES PLEASE. However, the graphics content must look like you gave adequate thought to it. I can't wait!)
4. Tell Someone About A Violet Fire — Points per Referral: 2
(The NUMBER ONE thing I need is people to tell their friends how much they love my book and why they should read it.People trust recommendations. Please help me become recommended <3. You can send me a screenshot of you telling a friend about the book for points, or simply tag me in any comments or posts! I must be able to see who you sent it to <3)
5. Media Referral for A Violet Fire - Points per Referral: 3
(Do you know a high-influencing bookstagram-er or booktuber that might want to know about or showcase A Violet Fire? How about a savvy and heavily followed Goodreads reviewer? A local news reporter? An online publishing journalist, editor, or literary agent? If you let them know about me and how much potential my story has for the book community, I will award you not only points, but my UNDYING gratitude. The difference between this one and #4 is that if something great comes from your referral, I will gift you with your own grand prize box!)
6) Review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo & Goodreads Upon Release — Points for Review set: 5 (max 1 set per person)
(Reviews are important to people. :) Please review honestly and helpfully. I might cry in a corner if the ratings aren't 4s or 5s but it's okay, I'll live!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me break it down :)
50 points — a set of the collectible character cards that I designed myself, a SIGNED bookmark, and a raffle ticket into the grand prize box!

This week in A Violet Fire News...
Goodreads Editorial announces A Violet Fire among Top 10 Movers & Shakers in Oct. 22nd Romance Newsletter
Hello fellow supply units!
I was supposed to send out this newsletter yesterday, but you know such is the life of a messy-bunned wannabe NYT bestseller who has to schmooze clients for her day job. I was on the road the last couple of days… er, well actually in the air! And to nowhere too cool, mind you. Only to good ol Dallas, Texas. But time and the inevitable feeling of air sickness has prevented me from putting all my newsletter ducks in a row. Alas, here I am!
What are you looking forward to this week? How was your day?
Monday was a helluva day until I got a magical email from the Goodreads Editorial team right around 6PM. This time, they emailed me first... to let me know I made a top ten list for the Movers & Shakers of the romance genre?!
There I was... just eating cheezit pizza from Pizza Hut and then suddenly my book is in a TOP TEN ON GOODREADS. No… it can’t be happening. derp.
I mean. It kind of goes against all of the odds for my little self-pub of a book, ya know? I can't imagine, but I'm eternally grateful for WHATEVER you guys are doing. Plz keep doing it?! :D
Anyway, keep your chins up kids! We can make it through this week. And in the meantime, don’t let the vampires bite!
