As some of you may have noticed, the website looks a little different today. To be perfectly honest, I’ve been a little frustrated with my host service recently, and I’m doing my best to get something better up and running before release and increased traffic. Thank you for bearing with me as I tweak things!

First look at the finished book!
Sometimes my editor sends me sexy pictures. And by that I mean: we’ve got hardcovers!

Two big things happening today!
First things first, it’s your last day to enter our Goodreads giveaway. And you really should, because I’ve seen these galleys in person now, and they’re pretty stunning.
Of course, don’t be too disappointed if you don’t win, because you can still request a copy on NetGalley.
Secondly, we’ll be posting an early excerpt from the book, right here on this website, in exactly one hour. At high noon CST, click the IF WE WERE VILLAINS page and you should see a new nested page underneath; that’s where you’ll find our sneak peek.
Happy reading!

IWWV Excerpt to Be Posted January 31
Bummed that you can’t enter the giveaway because you’re not in the U. S. or just really keen to read? On January 31 (that’s this coming Tuesday), at 12 noon CST, we’ll be sharing an excerpt from the book, which you’ll be able to read right here on this website! The best way to make sure you don’t miss it is to click that ‘follow’ button on the right-hand side, if you haven’t already.
Hope it’s everything you hoped for.
