Dear Readers:
As we head into Easter weekend—and now that we are just TWO MONTHS out from the release of my novel, Road Trip, I wanted to touch base with some cool little assets for you!
First, I know that many of you count on my books to be out in time for Mother’s Day gift giving. But this year’s novel comes out after that holiday on June 2nd. Never fear! We’ve got a nifty gift certificate for you that you can download to print out or share digitally by email or text.
Grab this image. And now you’re able to let folks know they have a copy of Road Trip coming their way. So whether it be for Easter, Mother’s Day, end-of-year teacher gifts, or really any gift giving occasion you have coming up between now and early June—we’ve got you covered!
Once you have pre-ordered your book, you can show your pre-order pride with this cute badge!
You can download our badge and post it to your socials, text it to a fellow book loving friend, or whatever you like. If you’ve been part of MKA Worldwide Industries for a while, by now you’re familiar with my refrain: #buymybookdammit Well, now you can let me—and the world at large—know you’re in compliance. 😊
Parts of Road Trip were inspired by my own paternal grandmother, who immigrated to America from Ireland in 1913.
And another part of the plot was inspired by my longtime fascination with old family portraits. Seeing an auction listing for a gorgeous portrait of famed “Golden Guinness” sister Ooonagh Guinness gave me an idea.
I’m excited for you to meet the Dunigan sisters and embark on an epic road trip with them—to Ireland, to their family roots, and to a mysterious crime that occurred years ago—that will entertain you for miles.
Mark your calendars now for the EPIC launch party for Road Trip, which will be held on at 3pm on Sunday, May 31st, at The Chapel on Sycamore in Decatur, Georgia, with sales by The Book Bird of Avondale Estates. Get tickets HERE.
We’ll be announcing all the details for the full Road Trip book tour soon! For now, I do know that week one will bring me to Pawley’s Island, Ocean Isle Beach, Greenville, Greensboro, Raleigh, Savannah, Bluffton, Charleston, the Jersey Shore, and Rehoboth Beach. There will be LOTS more dates and stops beyond that, too. I promise that we will reveal it all very soon!
I really do appreciate each and every one of you so very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me and my books.
Here’s wishing a happy Easter and sweet Passover to all who celebrate!
Hugs,
MKA
