It’s official! Merged is on the way to meet the world! The book files have been proofread. The digital ARC is being prepared. Applications are open to join as either an ARC reviewer or a Merged Street Team Member!
As an ARC Reviewer, you will receive a digital copy of Merged (and Shattered, if you haven’t already read book one). Read and either leave a review on Goodreads, Amazon, or another book site -OR- recommend for purchase to your store or library.
The primary goal is to lend the book legitimacy through quality reviews and recommendations to the people and places that buy books. That's it. Simple and to the point. Perfect for other authors, book buyers, teachers, and librarians.
The truth about her past was only the beginning. Now she must decide what to do with it.
Tessa is caught between powerful forces determined to shape the future—and both sides claim they're fighting for what's right. As secrets unravel and trust is tested, she must decide what she believes before someone else decides for her. And before what she learns costs her everything.
Merged, book two of the Forged Series.

As a Street Team member, you get to be part of the hype leading up to and during the release of Merged. Street Team Members receive a digital ARC of Merged with the understanding that you will leave a review on any of the book sites you frequent and post about the book on your social media.
The primary role of a Street Team member is to help hype up the book during launch week. Get the algorithm to notice the book and expand the reach and visibility during the launch. Graphics will be provided, or you can make your own.
Perfect for book lovers and fans at all levels of “influence”—whether you have tens of thousands of followers or are in an active book club—you can all be part of the energy and excitement that help Merged make a splash during its launch.
Come see me—in real life, face-to-face or virtually!

Did you miss the contest? I was hoping to see the feed flooded with images and posts from friends, family, and people who have fallen in love with Tessa’s story. Thank you to Ruth, who did post a photo of her signed copy of Shattered. As the only post I was tagged in during the contest time, she will receive a special Merged book box as soon as the printed copies are available.
Did you also want a chance to win? I’ll accept more entries—any hype is good hype, right?—so here are the “contest rules”… but the date is now through August 25, 2026.
I hope you will enter! (Remember, an image of your eBook counts!)
