Untamed Excerpt and Swag!




****PLEASE NOTE: THE GIVEAWAY PORTION OF THIS POST HAS ENDED****

You can find the winner's list here.


Hi! So, I've been laying low online lately, working on Untamed edits along with a couple of top secret projects that I very much hope to share with everyone soon. But one thing I *can* share with you today is a look at the new Untamed bookmarks that will be available in my signed swag packs starting in JUNE. 



And as an added bonus, I blew up the excerpt nice and big below so you can see a glimpse of the book! 


Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! Only seven months to go and the book will be here for you to read in its entirety! BTW, if you want to preorder but haven't yet, there are buttons here on my website.

 As I said, these new bookmarks will be going out to anyone who sends for swag packs via my website come JUNE. Until then, I have to use up the old bookmarks that are pictured on the swag page now. ;)

 But, as a special treat, and to thank you for your support and patience, I'm giving away TEN signed swag packs containing the Untamed bookmark--yes, it's INTL!--through this weekend. 

 To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below. Come Monday, I'll use Random.org to choose the ten winning names from the comments. 

 Good luck, and happy weekend!

      Hmm, I guess not. Because it mentions the "stowaways" that were trapped three days ago and how they are grateful Alyssa opened the rabbit hole for them.
