RELEASE DAY IS HERE!

This time last year I was launching the Kickstarter for this little idea I had about a group of black, queer, magical girls. While the Kickstarter didn’t end up panning out, I told myself that I wouldn’t give up on the idea and that I’d finish the story and release it someday.

Today is that day.

“magnifiqueNOIR” is here and I am so thrilled to be presenting it to everyone!

If you’ve already preordered the book through the Indiegogo or our Etsy shop, you will be receiving it very soon! I got confirmation from UPS that the 15 boxes (yes, 15!) will be at my house this Friday! After that, I’ll be autographing all of them and then giving my post office a nightmare (just kidding, we already talked to them and came up with a plan).

If you haven’t ordered the book yet, now is your chance! Not just the physical copy, but the eBook as well! So here’s Bri’s somewhat comprehensive list of ways to have a little bit of black girl magic in your home, on your Kindle, and more important: in your hearts (boo Bri that was cheesy).

1. The super special awesomely autographed copy! Follow the link here to get a physical copy of the book autographed by yours truly! We have a limited amount of numbers before we order batch #2 of the book in time for fall season conventions!
   
2. The amazing Amazon physical copy! While it doesn’t come with my autograph, it is discounted for a limited time, and hey, free shipping through Prime is always nice!
   
3. The magically fantastic eBook copy! Because who doesn’t want their electronic reading device to come packed with black girl magic?
   
4. Conventions! I’ll have a list of them up soon, but this Saturday, I’ll be at MSP Fall ComiCon at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, so if you’re local, you can come and get a copy of the book from me in person!
   

Now comes the next part: promotion. If you are absolutely in love with the book, talk about it online! Use the hashtag #magnifiqueNOIR to share your love for these girls. Take pictures of your book/eBook, share this post everywhere, and definitely, most definitely, definitely definitely definitely LEAVE A REVIEW when you’re done reading! Let’s show the world that black girls with magical powers are spectacular!

As always, thank you from the bottom of my chubby black queer girl heart for all the support. When I came up with this idea last March, I had no idea it would grow so much. There may have been some hiccups along the way, but we’re here now, and you all are truly magical :)

Hey everyone. Some bad news and some kind of good news. The book release has been delayed until November 16th. The kind of good news is that it looks like I’m still getting early release copies (at least in pdf, I get to read it over to make sure it all looks o.k.) which means I have a new idea.

I’m going to give away a copy once a week until release day, which means you’ll be getting the book BEFORE launch <3 I’m going to start this on Monday.  It will most likely be a pdf copy, since that’s what I got this morning. If I get another version I’ll let everyone know.

Since not everyone on Tumblr is part of Facebook (which is where the event is) I’ll do something different for Tumblr.  Just like or reblog this status to get a chance to win  <3  The first giveaway will be on Monday with another one being the following Monday.  

Just to refresh your memory, this giveaway is for “Double Hue,” the M/M romance book I have coming out.  Here’s the synopsis:

When something tragic happens, you want nothing more than to close your eyes and make all of the pain go away. For Gable Peterson it’s a little more complicated than that. When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated. Seeking some sort of comfort, Gable closes his eyes and imagines a world where none of this happened. 

Only, Gable wakes up, he’s surprised to see that Avery is actually still alive.

Book giveaway stuff!  Plushie giveaway coming soon but for now here’s a book giveaway  <3  My book isn’t going to be out until November 16th now, so you’ll be getting it early :)

Guess what, everyone?  It’s time for the release of my second book! The event is an online event, so you don’t have to go anywhere to attend, you just have to go to the page.  I’ve also decided that one lucky attendee will receive a free ebook copy of the book.  Huzzah!

Here’s a blurb for you:

It’s book time  <3
