First off, thank you for being here! This is going to be a more laid-back launch team experience than some. There won’t be any Zoom meetings or Discord group check-ins. I’m trusting you guys to just show up as you’re able and share what you feel comfortable with.

1. Download the resources below and use them in your posts on social media or in blogs or newsletters. I’ve included a range options, from pre-made canva posts, to character art that you can turn into your own posts using canva or some other program if you like. (Feel free to use them as art for your phone screens and desktops if you like! It’s my “thank-you” for being involved in the launch!). Plan to schedule or post these sometime between April 1st and April 7th.

2. Re-share my social media posts during launch week. Liking and leaving comments also helps with increasing their visibility, so that’s a great option too. My main hub of social media operations is on Instagram, but I’ll be trying to share some things on my Facebook author page, Twitter and Threads. If you happen to be on any of those platforms, your re-shares and interactions will be a big help!

3. If you know of any podcasts, blogs, youtube channels, etc. that might be a good fit for me to pitch to, please shoot me a message and let me know! I’m planning to be on a handful of podcasts over the next little while if I can. Anything surrounding writing, fantasy books, kids books, homeschooling, authoring in a Christian/Catholic context, or the like would be a good fit. 🙂 

Here is the back cover blurb for Wingless that you can copy and paste: 

In a world of flight, he was born wingless. But that’s the least of his problems.

Since being orphaned at a young age, wingless sprite Asher Songfeather has been sure of one thing: Bat sprites aren’t to be trusted. The fact that his own mother was one is something Asher does his best to forget.

But when his adoptive sister Carinen falls deathly ill, he’ll risk anything to save her—even if it means striking a bargain with a mysterious Bat sprite newcomer. The deal sends Asher on a perilous quest into the heart of the Bat Colony itself, where nothing is as it first appears. Saving his sister will require more than just courage and wits. It will take trust, too.

And Asher will have to rethink everything he knows about Bat sprites—including himself.
