A ton of book deals
Preorder discounts, Kindle Unlimited books, and a hello to new folks
Well hello!
There are a lot of new people suddenly getting these emails, and if you’re one of them: welcome!
And if you’re wondering why you’re now getting these emails, because you’re not sure who I am, you might have recently signed up for another author’s newsletter, clicked through all the buttons, and signed up for mine because she recommends me. (omg thanks!)
Okay, so if you’re new, allow me a moment to explain myself.
I’m Jodi Meadows, author of a zillion books, including 1/3 of MY LADY JANE (which you might have been watching on Prime recently!). I mostly write fantasy (usually with some romance involved!), but to shake things up, I have a middle grade contemporary coming out in a few months (it also has romance).
I like cats, yarn, outer space, and lists. Oh and books, of course. Now you know me. :)
This newsletter has four main sections (links so you can look through and see old posts in them!):
Author news and updates (you’ll get notes like this one!)
Writing and publishing (writing, industry, author life, general writing advice)
Knit night (in which I occasionally talk about my yarn habit)
Extra special (sneak peeks and behind the scenes for paid subscribers)
If you want one section but don’t want another one, good news: you can customize what you get. Go HERE and just hit the toggle by whatever section. (Green means you’re getting that section.)
Okay, moving on! Here’s a very important picture of my cats spooning.
Preorder sale:
It’s that time again. Barnes and Noble is doing their 25% off preorder sale.
I currently have TWO books available for preorder: MY SALTY MARY and BYE FOREVER, I GUESS.
Preordering helps everyone by giving publishers a chance to definitely print enough copies, letting bookstores order enough for everyone, and Future You because suddenly you have a present in your mailbox.
MY SALTY MARY is the final Lady Janies book. Think The Little Mermaid meets Pirates of the Caribbean. It has two romances, a contest to become the next Pirate King (or . . . queen??), lots of jokes, and a Happily Ever After.
BYE FOREVER, I GUESS is about a girl who gets a wrong-number text that’s a sweeeeet love note . . . but by the time she realizes it might have been meant for her ex-best friend, she’s already developed a huge crush on this anonymous texter. Think You’ve Got Mail but with gamers (also book nerds!).
Books on Kindle Unlimited:
If you’re a KU reader, I have great news. I have a ton of books on KU for a limited time. So subscribers to KU can read all these books at no extra cost.
MY LADY JANE
MY PLAIN JANE
MY CALAMITY JANE
BEFORE SHE IGNITES
AS SHE ASCENDS
WHEN SHE REIGNS
INCARNATE is my debut, the book I was on tour for when I met Cynthia and Brodi! (My Lady Janies coauthors!) It’s about a girl who’s new in a world where everyone else is perpetually reincarnated, and she has to figure out why she was born and what happened to the person she replaced.
BEFORE SHE IGNITES is my second trilogy (and third fantasy series!), about a girl who loves dragons — and discovers that her government is secretly trafficking dragons to their enemies. When she tries to call them out, she gets punished (because they’re the government, obviously). Now she has to escape the prison they put her in — like they could ever shut her up — and save her dragons. (And maybe the world.)
For those of you who are new, I have a bunch of other books, too, including THE ORPHAN QUEEN and THE MIRROR KING (duology), NIGHTRENDER and DAWNBREAKER (also a duology), and the Mary books (cowritten with Cynthia and Brodi): MY CONTRARY MARY and MY IMAGINARY MARY.
So if you need something to read . . . I’ve got a few things to fill up your TBR.
Okay, I think that’s it for now. I need to get some lunch, throw the ball for Hush, and work on writing a new book!
I hope you’re having an amazing week!
Let me know a. if you have any questions, b. what you’re reading, and c. if you’ve watched MY LADY JANE yet.
