My first novel, Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire, comes out today in stores throughout North America.
I’d love you to, well, buy it. People buying books makes future books possible.
It’s available at massive online stores, national chains and your local indie bookstore.
Arlo Finch is middle-grade fantasy fiction. That’s the broad category that includes Harry Potter, Stranger Things and Star Wars. If that’s not your speed, you may have a son or daughter or nephew who would dig it.
How old does a kid need to be for Arlo? All kids are different, but eight seems a good general guideline. The audiobook might be a good option for younger sorts.
But if you’d like to help me out, there are a few other things you can do.
- Review it on Goodreads and Amazon.
- Recommend it to parents, teachers and librarians. They’re the ones who put books into kids’ hands.
- Post about on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
And if you’re in a bookstore in the next few weeks, find it on the shelf and take a peek inside. During my visit to the printing plant, I put special stickers in five books. I’m eager to learn where they turn up, so if you find one, let me know!
If you’re not listening to the Launch podcast, the first four episodes are now up. Today’s is my favorite so far.
I hope you dig the book. I’m really proud of it, and hope to be able to make more of them. Your help can make that dream possible. Thanks!
