Reveal of a NEW Title for Book 2 of the Rayatana Series AND a Call for Book Party Help!

 My new title for Book 2 of the Rayatana Series is: NEXUS. 

This title came out of some changes to the manuscript, some feedback from my editor, CPs, and betas. I wasn't thinking about businesses or border patrol between Canada and the US. Even now, thinking about those...well, I'm still glad I made the change. 

Plus, I love what my cover artist Carrie Butler did with the title! Check it out here:

In early July, I'll be revealing my cover for Nexus: The Rayatana, Book 2.

And as of today, I'm starting a Call for a Book Party!

In many ways, I have struggled to truly celebrate my books. Usually by the time of the book release, I am a storm of nerves. 

So, I am going to throw a party for my new book.

I know, rationally, it's only semantics. I'll still need blog/website stops for the moveable Book Party, along with some party-streamer-throwing shout-outs, and I definitely plan on having a live celebration at a local restaurant with some video feed streaming. Party favors will be given away - swag. 

The dates are: 

October 4th: Streamer-Waving Shout-Outs

October 4th: Party Events Streaming and Live

October 5-15:

For the Moveable Book Party (Book Blog Tour), I hope to do the following:

1. Write guest posts about weird beverages/food in speculative fiction settings.

OR

2. Have blog hosts post about their favorite kind of "awak" beverage or their favorite "awak" beverage holder (mug, can, bottle, glass). Awak is a cross between Earth tea and coffee, so hosts can post about any beverage that keeps you awake.

So, why beverages? This is a YA novella, but while brainstorming for this book blog tour, I wanted to stick to one area and I had just reviewed a scene where the characters sit down and drink "awak" - a beverage which keeps them awake like coffee or tea, but with more of a kick and less addictive properties. And yes, I know, naming things is not my strong suit. 

Plus, what good party doesn't have some kind of beverage, whether it's soda water, tea, or something else?

And the last, biggest CALL for help:

Could you/would you read an ebook ARC between July-September? All hands on deck are needed for this. Reviews are as precious as gold, especially for books in a series.
