HERETIC BONUS: I Wrote a Book!
coming your way this October!
I am so thrilled to announce that my debut novel, Manly Man of God, will be coming your way starting October 1st!
What is this book?
Kassandra’s whole world was turned upside down when her sister, Maria, died unexpectedly. Now she’s determined to infiltrate the cult-like Seattle megachurch Maria attended and discover the truth of what happened to her.
To do this, Kassandra must navigate the unspoken rules and hierarchies that dominate unmarried women’s lives within the church, and deal with her growing feelings towards one of its handsomer members, Matt Lyons.
In this world of secrets, violence, and forced arts-and-crafts nights, can Kassandra find out the truth before she, herself, is found out?
How will this work?
You’ll have three options for reading Manly Man of God:
serialized emails running from 10/1-12/8. Each part will arrive free in your inbox. The dates and times of the parts will roughly correspond with the dates and times in the novel—you’ll get a Halloween chapter on Halloween, a Thanksgiving chapter on Thanksgiving, etc.
Please click the poll below to give feedback on whether you’d like to receive this in your Heretic Hereafter feed or as a separate subscription.
If you’d rather not wait for each individual part (or deal with inbox pileup) you can preorder a Kindle edition here for $4.99
I will be releasing a limited number of paperback editions for $16.99. All Heretic Hereafter yearly paid subscribers will receive a free, signed paperback! If you’re not a yearly paid subscriber, you can fill out a Google Form to let me know you’re interested in a paperback.
Or you can upgrade your subscription to “annual” here to receive a free copy:
How can I help?
Wow, thank you for asking, that is truly kind of you!!! As an indie author without 1,000,000 Tiktok followers, I’m going to need all the publicity I can get.
Aside from taking the survey and/or preordering, I would love some help sharing this news! In the run-up to the book launch, I’m looking for:
other Substacks which would let me write a guest article or be interviewed
reviews! If you would like to read an advance copy of MMOG and provide a review on Goodreads, Amazon, and/or social media, please let me know!
podcasts I can guest on
If you can help with any of these, please leave a comment, send a message, or shoot me an email! Thanks again!
Congratulations! It seems like it would take tenacity, moxie, conviction, a heavy lift of the imaginal faculties/intellectual grit/discipline etc. to undertake a project like that (at least in my limited idea of what it would take). I'm sure it'll be a fun and interesting read! Ordered Kindle preorder option. Go you!!!
This is exciting!! I'd love to read an advance copy with an eye toward reviewing and/or publishing an interview with you on my Substack, if that sounds good to you!
