Gene, Everywhere: Virtual Book Launch Party!

February 20, 2020 By Talya Tate Boerner

Virtual Book Launch Party!

SAVE THE DATE because you’re invited to my Gene, Everywhere Virtual Book Launch Party!

???

  • WHAT? A book launch party held online means there’s no reason not to “attend”. You can wear your most comfy clothes and participate from your couch with favorite beverage in hand.
  • WHEN? March 9, 2020, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. CST.
  • WHY? Because—it’s time! We had a virtual party in 2016 for the release of The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee and it was so much fun. A second book is no less worthy of celebration. Actually, a second book may be more worthy because I am crazy enough to jump back in. LOL.
  • WHO? You. Me. Everyone. Invite your friends!
  • WHERE? On Facebook. So, yes being on Facebook is really the only requirement. 
  • HOW? Click HERE to join the Facebook party. Easy. Free. Fun.

There will be 12 cool prizes up for grabs!

What? You’ve never joined a virtual party (or you’ve slept since the last one)? Keep reading for all the details…

2nd Edition: Gracie Lee reimagined!

The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee

Back when I introduced you to One Mississippi Press, I let you in on the news that I have my rights back for The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee. And I compared it to rediscovering a misplaced treasure.

Oh my heart. This process has been like creating something I loved, loaning it to someone else, and finally holding it in my hands again. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been polishing Gracie Lee, making her shine even brighter than before.

I hope you’ll agree.

Gene, Everywhere COVER REVEAL!

January 30, 2020 By Talya Tate Boerner

GENE, EVERYWHERE

Oh my goodness! Today is Gene, Everywhere cover reveal day. If books were babies, this would be the gender reveal party— minus the balloons and cake. Of course, if you have balloons and cake, please, please, break them out.

?

I was planning to do my cover reveal next week, but I couldn’t wait another day. See? Now that I’m the boss of my book, I can change plans on the fly.

Plus, we aren’t getting any younger. And March 10 is getting closer and closer.

March 10 is my official release date, y’all!

Let’s rip off the paper, shall we?
