Hi everyone! It's less than two weeks until Loving Ladybug Part One releases. Who's excited? I know I am. I really can't wait for you to meet Gwen, Clark, and Tenzin.

I believe ARC team acceptance emails went out (check your spam, unless you're on my permanent ARC team then you didn't get one but you're good.) Loving Ladybug Part One is with the proofreader and will be going to ARCs this week. Loving Ladybug Part Two is with the editor. Thank you so so much for all your support and excitement for this book.

Have you pre-ordered the ebooks of part one and part two yet? The price goes up at the end of the month. If you have THANK YOU. We're at 167 part one pre-orders. We're only 33 pre-orders away from me releasing chapter one here in this newsletter and 83 pre-orders away from everyone who pre-ordered getting a bookmark and sticker (open internationally.) Also, Gwen has been through it, so please make sure you read the cws. Your mental health is important.

Also if you like book trophies, you still have a chance to pre-order a paperback, to get both a signed and personalized paperpack of Loving Ladybug Part One, and all sorts of goodies, including an exclusive print through Love in Print Books.

Thanks to everyone who already has. We will be doing one for part two with different goodies. (If I can ever figure out how to format things for foil. One thing I never anticipated about being an author was all the graphic design I need to do.)

Speaking of pre-orders... we passed 150, it's also my birthday, which means it's time for an ARC giveaway.

I am giving away five ARCs. These are e-arcs and they'll come to you via bookfunnel this week when the ARCs go out. Want one? All you need to do is reply to this email with your favorite kind of cake and I'll choose five people at random on Monday.

Are you on Instagram? Chord is running a giveaway there where you can win an one-of-a-kind signed set of my Finding the Forward duet with beautiful sprayed edges (us only, I'm sorry.)

Okay, I think that's it for this week. I'm going to keep working away (and well, go out to dinner.) Here's a sneak peek at some art for part two that few people have seen. Isn't Clark the cutest cat dad? I just love him.

Have a great week!

XOXO Jane
