CLAN - Intro Blog Tour Stop 3
Kristi Helvig and I have two sweet things in common--we share the same awesome agent, Jessica Regel, and we both wrote a YA sci-fi. Please check out Kristi's upcoming book BURN OUT--it looks so freaking badass. That cover!
Kristi is interviewing me today on world building (since she's a fellow world-builder herself!) and revealing an illustration of one of the Five Values of Clan. There is an ongoing raffle for prizes!
Enjoy,

CLAN - Pre-Release Info + Illustration Samples
Woo! CLAN is out tomorrow!
I am providing some info here in advance so you can decide which format is right for you.
Where can I buy CLAN?
Amazon. CLAN may be available in other outlets in the future.
Is CLAN illustrated?
The paperback is illustrated by me with 25-30 black and white illustrations. If you enjoy illustrations and want a hardcopy on your shelf, this is a good option. Illustration samples will be in the trailer (will be up Wednesday). For an example of the paperback, here is the link to my proof copy.
The eBook is text-only without illustrations. (This has to do with digital distribution constraints, but it may change in the future.) For those of you who just want to read the story and don't need to see pictures--the eBook is a good option.
Here are some paperback illustration samples:
How much will CLAN cost?
Until 12/26, the ebook (not illustrated) is 99 cents. The paperback (illustrated) is $8.99. Please enjoy these discounts until 12/26!
Also, you can borrow an ebook for free if you are an Amazon Prime member. I will also have a whole bunch of raffles going on for a chance to win a paperback copy or a signed paperback.
What time will CLAN be available?
Unfortunately, I have no control over the exact time. You'll likely see the ebook on sale tomorrow morning.
The paperback will be available on the CreateSpace page for purchase tomorrow, though for a short time it may lag to show up on Amazon. In the meantime, I will link the CreateSpace page once it's available.
If you have any questions and/or feedback, email me: rtlovejoy (at) yahoo (dot) com

CLAN - Paperback Proof
The paperback proof arrived a while ago. It's surreal to see the book... all the years of writing and drawing for CLAN bound up into glued paper. I'm very pleased with the paperback and I hope you will be too!
Hurray!

CLAN - Blog Tours
Hello, everyone! Well, guess what... CLAN will be out next week!
There are a few online book events happening for CLAN.
For the kickoff, my fellow writer pals are going to be a part of the Five Values of Clan propaganda poster reveals. Each of them will reveal one poster with one of the values along with interviews, and I'll reveal the final one. Think of it as an introduction to CLAN!
Secondly, YA Bound is hosting the CLAN Book Blitz during November 18th-25th. Please sign up if you're interested in participating!
Finally, the great big tour happens December 9th-20th, again hosted by YA Bound. If you're a book blogger, I hope you'll join the fun! Click here for the tour sign up.
I hope you will enjoy these events and thank you for your support,
