  • UK Hardback of How to Find a Nameless Fae Now Out!

    The new Tor hardback of How to Find a Nameless Fae is now out in the wild! I never expected my cosy retelling of Rumpelstiltskin with a 40-year-old heroine to be the book that got me a trad deal, but here we are! THANK YOU to all my readers who have supported me along the way – we wouldn’t be here without you!

    (And if anyone spots a copy in a bookstore, I would be SO appreciative if you could send me a pic in the wild – I am, alas, roughly 18,000 km away from the United Kingdom and thus cannot pop in myself).

    But AJ, where can I buy the hardback?

    Here’s a round up of links, which I’m happy to add to if you have a favourite indie bookstore.

    Barnes & Noble | Bookshop.org | Amazon.com | Target |

    A Rake Of His Own Is Out: Launch Week Shenanigans

    A Rake of His Own has been out a whole week, and I’m humbled and thrilled by its reception. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking, releasing your book-chick into the wild and hoping it’s fledged enough to fly!

    (You can order your copy here: https://books2read.com/ARakeOfHisOwn. If you’re still uncertain whether this book is for you, check out my Rake FAQs)

    Here’s a round-up of all the Happenings this week.

    Signed paperbacks sent out!

    I signed a bunch of copies for Good Books to send out for those who pre-ordered Rake. I signed a few extra, so get in quick if you want one: https://shop.goodbookshop.nz/p/a-rake-of-his-own-a-stariel-novel?barcode=9780473624798

    Rake makes the NZ Bestseller List!!!

    This is the list of the week’s best-selling hard copy books sold by NZ bookstores (so ebooks don’t get counted). It was SO COOL to see Rake make this list. Thank you so much to everyone who bought a paperback, and for Good Books for handling all the online orders!
