IT'S WEDNESDAY MY DUDES!!!

IT'S WEDNESDAY MY DUDES!!!

May 22, 2024

 Hey y'all!!! Welcome back to another Wednesday LOL. Gonna be perfectly honest, I did no writing on Book 3 (Which I still haven't been able to decide a title for) this week. But I did find like two small grammar mistakes in An Exile's Tale with the help of my grandma, and fixed those, so that is fun. 

I am enjoying my summer, and I should have plenty of free time to write and hang out with friends now that school and other such things have fallen off the plate. I am hoping to maybe release some free short stories about the characters in An Exile's Tale and in The Elven Princess, so let me know who you'd want to read more about!!!

Much love,

Allie

Signing Event!

Hi everyone! I'm super excited to remind you about the signing event I am holding on June 8th from 11-1 at We Be Book'N in Monroe Wa! I recently went to a Sadie Jean Concert, and I saw how happy she was every time a fan told her they loved her songs, or gave her a gift, or did something that demonstrated they knew her music.

That's such a crazy thing, because she told us how she dreamed at 16 that one day this would happen to her, and now she is on her first headlining tour at only 21.

I hope that one day, even if this book signing gets two people attending (my mom and dad), that I'll have a successful event like she did. After her show she had everyone in the venue lining up to take photos and get her signature. Maybe one day I'll get to experience that too. I'm in the writing business for the love of writing of course. I love my stories, and I wrote them down so other people can experience them as well. But there's something special about seeing that other people enjoy them as much as you hoped they would.

So whether I get 100 of you attending my signing or only my parents, I have a dream to look forward too. Whether one day I get a fandom with their own little cute name like the Swifties or Potterheads, or I stay a small author forever, I am forever grateful for everyone who has participated in my writing. Sales of An Exile's Tale have been booming, and I am so overjoyed by it. A really hard thing happened in my life a few days ago, but seeing all the good things God has blessed me with in this season has helped to take an edge off the grief.

I love you all!!!

Hi everyone! I just got my books in a local bookstore! It's called We Be Book'N, and it's really cool! I've had quite a few sales lately so that's exciting, but yes, if you are a local follower, go check out We Be Book'N and maybe snag a copy of my book!!!!

An Exile's Tale Is Coming!

The release of my book is so close y'all!!! On May 2nd at 12 am EST, you can go on amazon and buy a paperback version of An Exile's Tale! I am honestly so excited, I have been waiting ever so impatiently for this day, because I just want to share this book with all of you. After years of being asked when it was coming out, and years of working hard on it, I can finally share the book I poured my heart into with all of you. I have matured and grown a lot as an author over these few years, and I can genuinely say that I am incredibly proud of this book. 

Thank you all for coming along  on this journey with me. I hope y'all enjoy An Exile's Tale.

Yours,

Allie

What a Week

What a week

April 24, 2024

 Hi y'all! I can't believe it has been about a week since I released the preorder. So far I have 8 preorders, which is pretty exciting. I also have been working really hard to promote the giveaway, which you should go join if you haven't, it's pinned to the top of my page. This week I have just been filled with gratitude from the support y'all have shown in my posts and in my writing. You guys are amazing, and who knows, perhaps when may 2nd comes around, I'll be able to look at my preorders and see double digits. A girl can dream, hm?

Thanks y'all,

Allie

The Preorder is Out!

Hello my friends! In case you missed all the crazy promoting I have been doing, I put my book up for pre order on Monday! (it was supposed to release today but I got impatient LOL.) Please please please preorder the book! Right now, you can only preorder the kindle version because Amazon won't let me make a preorder for the paperback, but both will officially release on May 2!!!!!

Also how do we feel about giveaways??? I think it would be fun to do a giveaway of a signed copy of An Exile's Tale :)

Here's a link and description of An Exile's Tale if you don't already have one!

An Exile's Tale (Rising Heiress Book 2) https://a.co/d/hE0RMqJ

Keira was an exile, and an exile has no place in this world. They are cursed to forever be alone, destined to never have a steady place to lay their head. That is, unless they create one. Keira, tired of being hunted, created such a place for others like her. But after years of peace, outmaneuvering an ancient prophecy that has plagued her family for generations, she is once more the target of fate’s cruel whims. Will she lose everything she holds dear once again? Will she manage to outwit fate and be able to return home to everything she loves? There’s only one way to find out.

Continue the story in the thrilling prequel to The Elven Princess.
