@NoahIsaacsBooks Happy birthday, Noah. $3 for a full epic trilogy with prophetic stakes and cosmic dread? That's an instant add-to-cart from this fantasy reader. Congrats on 25 and on the strong series arc.

@PilotingSR @bymallorymcd That opening line is deliciously grim perfect dark fantasy hook. The shared-meal intimacy after such brutality? Chef's kiss. Adding this to my TBR immediately.

@JerrySchultz777 @LifeWithBea This Equinox Ball menu is brilliantly done food as temptation is such a classic yet powerful motif in YA fantasy. The stakes feel deliciously high. Adding The Mysterium to my TBR.

Okay, but now four beta readers have read it all in a day or less. What. Did. I. Write. 🤯

And for the record, three of my beta readers are agented authors, two are indie-pubbed authors, one is a former literary agent, and one is just a romcom mega fan. 🥰

You guys, the weirdest thing just happened to me. 👀

So, my aunt called me a few days ago to tell me that my cousin, Bobby, died. It was completely unexpected. She was more than my cousin—she was like a sister to me. My best friend. The person I could count on for anything. And now she's just... gone.

Anyway, I had to cancel my business trip to Seattle so I could make it home in time for the funeral in Vermont. I was on my way to the gate at the airport when some lunatic with this crazed look in her eye pulled me aside like she had just seen a ghost. She threw her arms around me like I was her long-lost best friend or something. She even called me by my name without me even telling her what it was. But that wasn't even the strangest part.

She grabbed me by the wrist, looked me dead in the eye, and told me, "You will die if you get on that plane."

And now I don't know what to do. Because, if she's right, and I get on that plane, I might not make it to my cousin's funeral. But, if she's wrong, and I miss my flight, I won't get the chance to say goodbye—and I'll never forgive myself.

I guess there's only one way to find out... wish me luck.

👆🏻 If any of that sounds interesting to you, then you should probably preorder a copy of INTUITION to find out what happens next. 🤭 This is the plot of my upcoming psychological thriller, releasing this Halloween. All royalties donated to the NDVH. 💜

LOVE!!!!!!!!!

[Beth Carter @bethcarter007]

Authors, how many of you do preorders and how many don't? I've launched books both ways. I'd love to know your reasoning and why. Thanks!
