IT’S HERE!!! Sorry for the all caps, but I am a tad bit excited. :D Three boxes of books landed on my front porch a couple of days ago, just after I arrived back from a family gathering. My goodness they are pretty! The cover is even more awesome in person — I’ve worked in publishing long enough to fully appreciate a soft-touch matte cover.
A lot of you have been sending me pictures of your copies arriving in the mail. Thank you! Getting reader feedback is absolutely the best thing ever, and riding the dopamine high is getting me through the oh my gosh what am I doing I am so bad at marketing slump. :D
To my new subscribers: welcome to the minor insanity that is Virtuous Fluff and the behind-the-scenes of my writing world. I’m glad you’re here!
And…
You are all invited!
Join me this Sunday, August 18, at 8pm Eastern for a wee virtual launch party!
Bring your party beverage of choice — I may break out the port a friend gifted me — and your book-loving self to the Zoom link below.
Meeting ID: 890 3777 7447
Passcode: 265312
Everyone who comes will have a chance to win a signed copy of Love in the Eternal City and a pretty journal I designed! (You can always gift the unsigned copy to a friend and keep the signed one…not like I’ve done that before or anything.)
If you bring your copy of LEC, show it off on the video and you might win a Rome Sweet Home mug (pictured above) and another surprise gift that I’ll reveal at the party!
It’ll be pretty low-key, but I really want to celebrate with all of you who helped make this book possible by cheering me on and delighting in Beni and Elena’s story.
Can’t wait to see you there!
Rebecca W. Martin
P.S. I still haven’t been able to get the silly store situation fixed. I promise there will be Actual Merch at some point, if the tech stars align!
Can't wait! See you at the launch party!
So excited! Congrats. We will join the Zoom!
