Hey all!

So, something I've been thinking about a lot for the last few months is doing a meet-up/book signing/reading (not me reading, but Lori/the narrators, much like that P-Town video!) for the release of Midnight Rain (which will be released the first week of April).

Right now, I'm in the early-ish stages of planning, but the idea is:

Saturday April 5, most likely in Brooklyn. I'd debated going through a bookstore, but then decided... I'd rather rent a venue myself and structure the time the way I'd like to do it and maximize the time hanging out with the readers

It will be a ticketed event, so I can know in advance how many people are coming/to plan for

Tickets will likely be $50, which will include a signed paperback of Midnight Rain, access to the event (obviously lol), meaning potentially an author reading a la the P-Town video, a hangout with me and Monica and narrators, a Q&A + book club conversation with me (about Midnight Rain, but also... whatever else we want to chat about), and a raffle ticket for a special edition of Those Who Wait x Midnight Rain, together as 1 book

There will potentially be a VIP option that will be $75 and include some exclusive merch pieces

I'll have more info to come, but wanted to put it out here, first! If you are interested, please let me know here whenever you know :) If you have other questions, feel free to post/DM!

*edited to say that: Midnight Rain will be released in paperback and can be purchased as a signed copy via my website, just like all my other books! And for those who can't make it, I will be figuring out a digital admission or - at least - will post any readings or Q&As on here, after the event :)

It would be something I would absolutely love to attend. Unfortunately in April I'll have a 2 months old baby so won't be possible for me this time

Sarah Elizabeth Davis

I'm in Australia but I would be sooooo keen if I was in the U.S.

Velvet Smith

I live on the west coast 😭😭😭

Rheanna Lotter

Is there an option for I would love to but I live in Australia 😭

Meg Helen

I'm just a train ride from NYC! That would be a cool day trip!

Melanie Reber

If i weren't going to ApollyCon the weekend after, I would probably be able to make it 😭

Leah

As an accountant I could never make a date before April 15th but I absolutely love the idea!

JL

It might be cool to have a lower tier live-stream option for those not close enough to attend?

Lauren

This sounds epic and I would 100% be there but I live in the UK. I would totally pay for a virtual version 🙏

AF

Amazing! Already put it on my calendar 😊

Kayla B.

I’ll be there! FULLY support a VIP option too. Take all my money lol! 😂

Tina M

West coast US fan - will hopefully see you at the Queers & Quills event in Portland, OR in May.

Willow

I will find a way. Even if I need to start walking 🚶‍♀️

Kayla B.

I’ll be at that one too!

Kayla B.

I hope you’re able to come!

Bel

Absolutely love the idea! But I also live outside of the US (in Australia) so can’t go. Is there an online option? Or a worldwide book tour for your non-US fans?

Sarah Watts

*Cries in southern and broke* 😭😭 I second the low-tier live-stream idea!

Chus Lerma

I don’t think I’ll be able to make it, but I’m looking into Madrid/NY tickets right now, for the family… maybe there are not super expensive…

Stacey Thurston-Woods

Would’ve loved this but I’m in UK 😭 but hey, long shot but it’s me and my wife’s 20 yr anniversary next year I wonder if I can convince her we *need* to fly to NY to mark the occasion…!

I love the idea. Brooklyn maybe a little tricky especially if people aren’t in the city . Maybe look at 3 locations and do a vote ?? Update NY like the finger lakes would be awesome and you could do a wine and read ??? Also def would be an early birthday gift to myself!

Jessica Woodcock

Any chance for a virtual version for peeps in Europe/UK? 🥹

Marie Sotiriou

Yes, I am definitely interested. I just recently attended a book event in Brooklyn for sapphic authors Anna Burke and Ann McMan.

el

IM SO THEREEE OMG!!!!

Stephanie Leeth

A special edition of Those Who Wait x Midnight Rain, together as 1 book??? (Not trying to exaggerate but I think I might die if it happened to me, omg)

G J Graves

If it's in April, I could use this as an anniversary gift for my blue jay 🤔
