THE HACIENDA is a Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist! 🎉

Hello again, subscribers old and new! 

I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that THE HACIENDA is a Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist in Horror! 🎉🎉🎉

For the uninitiated, the Goodreads Choice Awards are an annual award voted on by readers like you and me! It's an opportunity for anyone on the Goodreads website and/or app to vote for their favorite reads of the year in categories like Fiction, Memoir, Nonfiction, Scifi/Fantasy, and, of course, Horror.

It is basically a popularity contest, yes, but what a huge contest! As a debut novelist, it is an incredible honor to be a finalist. It means that so many of you out there not only picked up THE HACIENDA this year, but that you loved it enough to choose it as your favorite horror novel of the year in the initial round of voting. Thank you all so, so much. 

If you haven't yet voted in this final round, or didn't vote at all, I would be honored if you did so now. (And you don't need to have voted in the opening round to vote in the final round!) All you need is a Goodreads account and to click this link!

Be sure to vote today or tomorrow, because voting ends on Dec. 4th! 

The other Goodreads-related news that I have is that VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE is now up on Goodreads! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm about the cover reveal and first chapter excerpt that went live on Crime Reads earlier this week. Here she is in her full glory:

Berkley really knocked it out of the park with this one. The lightning! The movement of the skirt! The COLORS.
 
Add VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE to your To Read list and you'll always be notified of Goodreads giveaways for ARCs (advanced reader copies, aka early review copies) run by my publisher. I heard from a little bird flying by that ARCs will be available in the new year, maybe in February, so keep an eye out! 👀

Speaking of giveaways, there's currently a Goodreads giveaway going for a hardcover copy of THE HACIENDA!

Thank you all so much for your support, for your enthusiastic Instagram posts and TikToks and truly priceless word of mouth buzz, and for letting the characters of THE HACIENDA into your heart this year. You made 2022 a year to remember. I cannot thank you enough. 💛

If I don't pop into your inbox before the new year, I hope you all have a wonderful and restful holiday season. I can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for us!

all my love,
Isabel
