It's that B&N PRE-ORDER SALE time of year

Ruby Opal Mindy

A super quick email today: I’d really, really love it if you’d pre-order The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu, my romantic magical midlife midwife book about a single mother who saves the day despite being really, really tired. I’m sure all your faves have told you that pre-orders help authors so much. We’re all vying for space and attention these days, and even a little advance interest helps make sure that physical bookstores will stock our books.

And now of course, American readers, it’s time for the Barnes & Noble sale, which gives 25% off all pre-order books (print, hardcover, ebook, audio) and runs from 2/5-2/7 with code PREORDER25.

The offer is for Barnes & Noble Rewards and Premium Members only, nonmembers will have to enroll (but it's free).

But no matter where you decide to do them, yes, pre-orders help writers.

Gold large text: B&N 25% off SALE. Smaller maroon text: 2/5-2/7 code PREORDER25. Quote text: "All I wanted from Kenji was to pull his body down and fell his weight on mine, like a big, sexy weighted blanket." The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu, out Nov 2025

Librarians, I’d also like to point out there will be hardcover copies of The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu (ISBN 9798892422734) available for the wear and tear of library life.

And last but not least, congratulations to (CORRECTION!) reader Kate, who won a copy of Wild Life. Kate, your copy will be in the mail soon.

Thanks and happy reading!
