This is going to be really simple.
Step 1. Buy a copy of Undead and Unwed.
Step 2. Go on with your day.
Because Undead is officially out in the world TODAY!
So step one is simple. Buy her at a bookstore if you can because billionaires don’t need more money, but if you have to buy from a billionaire, I’m not going to judge.
I think a certain community of readers will very much enjoy Tiffenie. She’s not a perfect Hallmark heroine like she wants to be. Instead, she’s three-hundred-years old living on the outskirts of vampire world and still struggling with human adulting issues. Relatable, I thought.
Here’s a nice review the Vampyrelibrarian posted just yesterday. He describes it as a gateway to horror. That feels like it describes more than my book. But anyway, it’s good. Take Steven Foley’s word for it.
Here are some suggestions for the rest of your day:
Vote! It’s November 4th. Local elections matter. Don’t let the billionaires gain anymore ground if you can help it.
This is an old picture. It’ll look the same this Tuesday except Terrell has locs and I lost that jacket. Go on a walk. I hear that’s a good idea. Remember that you are a human who lives on earth, the internet is not a real place, and influencers are just selling you things you don’t need while often earning commission from American oligarchs. No shade, but the matrix is real. Keanu told us in the 90s. But anyway, feel free to stop reading this and head to Amazon to buy a copy at any point…
Or a paddle if you’re by water. I’m a big fan of kayaking. Make like Jeremey Allen White and buy some flowers. Or maybe just invite Jeremy Allen White over. He’ll probably bring flowers. Either that or the internet is lying.
Steal an hour from the man. Read a book. Plan your date with Jeremy Allen. Watch The Bear. Although, there is a lot of yelling in that show. Sometimes, it stresses me out.
Go out for a latte! If you’re in the Twin Cities, I really like the pumpkin spice girl at Spyhouse. It’s not too sweet. Make sure to bring your copy of Undead!
That’s actually a cappuccino and The Queen of Hearts, my daughter’s fave. And I ordered a cinnamon roll because I was depressed that day and everyone knows cinnamon rolls help. Oh, and don’t forget to buy your tickets for my release party on Thursday!
The kids are getting their costumes ready. So am I.
Since this post is trad-wife flavored, or at least it started out that way, here’s my one and only trad wife reel. Actually, I tried to do a trad wife intro to this post but the fire alarm went off because I was burning dinner. I almost kept it for comedy reasons, but my hair looked bad and something told me, “Rein it in, Sam.”
Okay, that’s all I have to say. Go live your best fall life today! And thanks for going on this book publishing journey with me. I appreciate all of you who are reading these substacks, commenting on my social media, and cheering me on. All of us need community and I love the readers and writers I’ve met along the way. I really hope that you enjoy the book as much as I loved writing it.
Thanks again,
Sam
