I just shipped a new Girl, Incorrupted prequel short story to my newsletter subscribers. The Ring takes place 18 months before the events in Girl, Incorrupted. It’s about how the starlet, Fausten, got the ring that is the source of so much trouble in Girl, Inc. and how her relationship with Guy started falling apart.
If you’re subscribed to the newsletter, check your email. The story came out yesterday morning.
If you’re not subscribed to the newsletter, what are you wait for?!
The next issue of Megan Bledsoe’s Reader List (man, my newsletter needs a better name 🤪) comes out tomorrow with a silly but fun horror short story inspired by the Midas Touch. The one about the guy who turned everything he touched into gold. Course that’s not where I go with it. 😈 Plus I paired it with zombies. You should check it out. Tomorrow, like I said. Over at my newsletter. Oh, but it’s just for subscribers, so get yourself subscribed!
You spot your book at the library! Check this out!
How cool is this?!?
It’s got the mylar cover and library stickers and it’s even already got some grime on it!
And I’m pretty sure—from the look of the top and bottom of the interior when it’s closed—that someone has definitely read every page of this copy! How cool is that!?!
If you don’t see Girl, Incorrupted on your library’s New Books shelf, ask them to order it! Libraries are very accomodating. They’ll usually place a hold for you, too, so that when it arrives you’ll be able to take it home and give it a read! Win, win, win!
Here’s the info you’ll need:
Title: Girl, Incorrupted: a love-horror story Author: Megan Bledsoe Publisher: Arched Brow Books Publication Date: September 12, 2023 ISBN: 979-8218187347 (Hardcover)
So I was just gearing up to start promoting Girl, Incorrupted to libraries when I read that there are a million books published every year.
A million.
Every year.
So for a moment there, I felt a little overwhelmed, a little already defeated.
But then!
I remembered that Every. Single. Time. I ask my library to order me a book—THEY DO! Aren’t libraries the best? And so I thought…
Hello, Kind Reader,
Should you ever find yourself sitting around, wondering what to do with the next five minutes of your time, may I suggest that you ask your library to order Girl, Incorrupted!
The Info
Here’s the information you’ll need:
Title: Girl, Incorrupted: a love-horror story Author: Megan Bledsoe Publisher: Arched Brow Books Publication Date: September 12, 2023 ISBN: 979-8218187347 (Hardcover) Distribution/Wholesaler: Ingram
You can probably find the request form online after signing into your account. Or you can ask the circulation desk to order the book next time you’re there. (You can print this out and take it with you, if you want).
Either way, if you order the book, you will do far more in under five minutes to help me get Girl, Incorrupted into the hands of library patrons at your library than I could ever do on my own. And I will love you forever for it.
You can help an author write more books by doing two things:
Help them increase their books’ visibility.
Help persuade other readers to give their books a try.
How do these two things help a writer write more books?
Writers need time to write, but one—and often two—thing(s) eat into that time: promoting their books and working at their job that pays the bills.
By helping writers increase their books’ visibility and helping to encourage readers to give the writer’s books a try, you help the writer to both turn their writing into their job that pays the bills and help ease the burden of having to promote, all of which frees up more and more time for the writer to write more of the books you love.
So how can you help your favorite author write more books?
Are you curious about which auspiciously foreboding Girl, Incorrupted book quote might be selected exclusively by you and for you?
Do you want a Girl, Incorrupted bookmark designed by moi in a brag-worthy color combo exclusive to the preorder that you can print for yourself?
Are you eager to bask in my everlasting gratitude expressed in a paragraph gushing about how awesome you are?
But even more than that—yes, there’s more!—do you like books with magical lore, all the feels, and ominous characters who haunt the page, all delivered in a way quite likely to hold you captive until the very last word?
Girl, Incorrupted is a love-horror story about a young woman following her darker impulses with regards to love and entangling herself with a monster rarely seen before.
