There are so many ways for readers to support authors! Here are two: How to request that your library carry an upcoming release, and how to tag it on Libby! I soooo appreciate anyone who does this for my forthcoming thriller debut THE BETTER MOTHER, and for other authors! 🙏🏻❤️ #BookSky #AuthorSky

I’m excited to reveal the #audiobooknarrator for THE BETTER MOTHER - the talented @xesands.bsky.social! Xe has performed narration for top thriller authors like Alafair Burke, JH Markhert, Darby Kane & Heather Gudenkauf. Coming 2.10 from @dreamscape-media.bsky.social @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social

Wow, Someone Stepped on the Gas! We went from zero to 60 on the debut novel front!

For so long, there's nothing to report. But as we are 4.5 months out from release date now, I thought I'd share a Substack post about what this stage of the journey looks like!

Book Conventions: Worth It For Authors? Wrapping up my very first visit to a book convention: Bouchercon in New Orleans!

Hmmm, you know that's actually not a bad idea! Thanks!

Hey bookish community! I’m on a hunt for comps for my next MS! It’s about a celebrity gossip/news reporter who is blamed, harassed, and attacked after publishing a big star’s secret, and then things get dicey when the star dies. Any suggestions?? ❤️❤️ #AuthorSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

How I Found Out I Got An Audiobook Deal Spoiler alert....I read it. Online.

I have news! And it's a little crazy how I found out! 😂

Your support of debut authors like me means the world! Here are two ways you can help me (and others) today, right from your phone or computer! 😃🙏

Request 'THE BETTER MOTHER' novel/thriller by Jennifer van der Kleut everywhere books are available! #AuthorSky #BookSky

Question....I like supporting authors by preordering their books. But it sucks when they don't arrive until several days AFTER pub day. But I also know preorders are so important to them! I hate not being able to post pics or take them to launches to be signed...but what do I do? #AuthorSky #BookSky

A fellow author just sent me this screenshot that a library system in CA (I live in VA) just ordered several copies of my debut even tho it’s more than 6 mos out and….. 😱🥹😭 #AuthorSky #WritingCommunity

I forgot July had a 31st day and all morning keep thinking today is Aug 1st. So yeah, I feel super smart today. How are you?

Happy #NationalPaperbackBookDay to all! Go read a nice floppy paperback! ☀️🕶️

Right?!

I just read a book review where the reviewer referred to the FMC’s story as “her coming-of-rage” and I love that idea 😄🙌 #AuthorSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity
