As you probably know, Hurricane Helene barreled into Appalachia in late September, causing widespread devastation. I live in coastal Virginia, and we’ve traveled in the affected area many times. It’s a beautiful region of the country, and the images of bridges and towns being swept away in an instant was horrifying.
Wanting to do something to help, I donated to the Western North Carolina Indie Authors auction. The auction goes live TODAY and ends on October 20, so get browsing!
Up for grabs is a set of books from me. I’ll send the winner signed paperback copies of Chick Magnet, Funny Guy, and Bad Reputation immediately and then, as soon as I have them in hand, I’ll add an ARC of Bold Moves. Chick Magnet and Bold Moves are both set in small (fictional) towns in southwest Virginia, so it’s especially poignant for me to be able to offer those to the highest bidder in this auction.
And then I’ve done SO much promotion for Bad Reputation the last few weeks. I just wanted to toss these links at you in case anyone was looking for more Emma Barry content:
- I recorded an episode of the Book Besties podcast LIVE at Novel Grounds.
- I wrote about how to create fake media for your novel at Writer’s Digest.
- I appeared on the Fresh Fiction video book club.
- I “interviewed” Maggie at Women Writers, Women’s Books.
- I did an interview with Hasty Book List.
- I answered some offbeat questions over at That’s What I’m Talking About.
- Fangirlish included Bad Reputation in their October romance picks.
- I made a playlist for Bad Reputation (with explanations!).
- Parade included Bad Reputation in their list of new releases.
- I did an interview with Author Answer.
- I did a Q&A with Deborah Kalb.
- Brooklyn Digest ran an excerpt from the book.
- I did an interview with Readers Entertainment Magazine.
- I put together a fancast for Bad Reputation (call me, Hollywood!).
- I made a list of ten books that take you behind the scenes in Hollywood.
- I chatted with the lovely folks at Reader Seeks Romance for a Romance Roundup episode. I show up at about the :30 minute mark, and we talked about the premise of Bad Reputation, intimacy coordinators, and my current reads.
- I wrote an essay about why on-screen depictions of sex can be great actually.
