One Week Until Courtship!

…and I’ve got a thousand things to do before then, so I’m gonna make this quick.

IndieReader gave A Courtship in Quarantine a great review and rated it 4.7 out of 5 stars! That means that it’s officially IndieReader Approved and I can put stickers on the books and marketing materials. For those of you keeping track, I’m two for two, since Starlight and Cinnamon also achieved that literal stamp of approval from IndieReader. Kara Dennison says, “What starts as a lockdown-era “Shop Around the Corner” quickly turns into a story of love building strength during turbulent times. Jem Spears’s A COURTSHIP IN QUARANTINE is a romance, but it’s also a call to stand up for one’s convictions.” I’m thrilled that someone read it and understood what I was trying to do. I know you all will do the same!

I’m still waiting for my distributor to, well, distribute my book to sites that aren’t Amazon, but I’m pretty confident that’ll happen at least on its publication date of December 9. I’ll give you the link to where you can find it, but it might take a few days or even a week for your preferred bookstore to have it available. My advice is to check the link next week and cross your fingers! And also to come to my book launch at Bell, Book and Comic on December 16! Event details are further below.

I also found a beautiful bookstore that focuses on indie authors called The Cozy Book Nook. It’s up in Dayton, in a gorgeous Victorian-era house, and they have local indie author events pretty regularly. Go check them out, if you’re in the area. They’ll have copies of all my books up there, and they might host a signing event for me in the near future. As always, I’ll keep you updated.
