Superstition Review 20

~ M. L. Rio

If you need something a little less dire to read than the ongoing tax debacle in the U. S. Senate, I did an interview with Superstition Review where I talked about If We Were Villains, writing, writing If We Were Villains, acting, authorship, and everything in between. You can find it here!

IWWV Hardcover Giveaway

If you want to up your chances of winning, you can also share this post on social media (up to once a day, but please don’t spam your followers), and add the book on Goodreads. Following me on social media won’t help your chances this time around, but it is the best way to keep up with what’s happening with the book, tour dates, signings, etc. if you want to stay abreast of those. (Or if you just want to see cheesy insider pictures of the launch party.) You can find all my social media links here.

Please note, you are not eligible to participate if you have already won any other If We Were Villains giveaway or if you have received an ARC or galley. To enter to win first prize, you must provide a United States Shipping address. Second and third prize are open to international entrants.

The giveaway will run from March 21 until April 4. Winners will then be contacted, confirmed, announced, and will receive their prize on or after the April 11th release date.

Thanks for participating! Feel free to contact me with questions (but make sure you read this whole page twice first).

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!
