Where to get signed copies of the Lady Janies books!
Including MY LADY JANE and MY SALTY MARY, of course!
Hello and happy August! You know what happens this month, right?
MY SALTY MARY releases! And boy do I have some good news for you.
One thing readers have been asking for years is how to get signed copies (all three authors!) of the Lady Janies books. The three of us haven’t had an in-person event together in . . . uh, since 2019, I think, when we were drafting MY CONTRARY MARY and then didn’t get to see one another again for a whole pandemic.
So at long last, I have great news for everyone who lives near Salt Lake City — we’ll be at the King’s English in a few weeks! FRIDAY, AUGUST 23 at 7PM. (RSVPing is a nice thing to do, btw. Let them know you’re coming!
This is the only event we have scheduled for this book, so we wanted to make sure that the store would be willing to have all the Lady Janies books available not just for the event, but for online orders as well. The King’s English has been a great partner for us since we started writing together and I’m really happy we can give you the chance to get any of the Lady Janies books signed by all of us.
So yep, if you want to get any of the Lady Janies books signed by all three of us, this is your chance! You can come to the event or order online!
Here’s the link! (Don’t worry. I will repeat this later on in the events list!)
A star for BYE FOREVER, I GUESS!
Publishers Weekly reviewed my middle grade book and gave it a shiny red star! Here’s a link to the entire review if you want to read it, but the part I’m telling everyone about is this:
"Meadows presents an earnest and laugh-out-loud middle grade debut that's both a winning exploration of tween friendship and a pitch-perfect paean to fan culture and the thrill of finding one's community."
Obviously I had to make a graphic in celebration!
I felt so clever for the little text bubble in the graphic that I made a bunch more just like this for the multitude of author blurbs this book received, so watch for those coming soon! (If you don’t want to wait to see who said nice things, though, you can check out the full list here.)
And I’ve been informed that there’s another lovely trade review of the book already in (it seems so early??), but I’m not allowed to share for a few more days. But you can expect yet another graphic.
Books on Kindle Unlimited:
Don’t forget, if you’re a KU reader, I have a ton of books currently available there. (This won’t last, so jump on it while you still can!)
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.
As a small side note: INCARNATE has been a squidge away from earning through its advance for years. (Here’s what that means.) Reads on KU do count for helping make that squidge an even smaller squidge, so if you’ve ever been inclined . . . I’d love my publisher to owe me a couple dollars on that book 12 years after it first published. :)
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 corrupt, 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.)

And finally, please think nice thoughts for Hildy today. She was having some problems this morning so I had to rush her to the vet. . . . I’m sure she will be fine, but she’s my baby so of course I’m going to be worried until I can bring her home. :(
Yay Kings English! Yay starred reviews! And good thoughts for your furr baby. Hopefully she will be home and well soon.
Sending Hildy hugs and prayers! 😽
