Tattoos without the Needles and Double Debuts

A while back I found these bleeding color tattoos (pictured below) and just had to get them because they’re perfect for my short story collection You Have to Let them Bleed–where the frame story is about a collector who sorts by color, with each section bleeding into the next. Then I wanted some temporary tattoos to match The Extra, too, so I searched and found some that fit the mysterious + outdoors motifs of the novella. But I had to order them all by the set, so now I have way too many book-themed tattoos for one person. How about I give them away??

I have two books coming out next year. They have nothing to do with each other, so don’t pick one; get both! They are both available for pre-order now! Right this moment! Of course you can get them when they come out, but preorders are so important. If you go ahead and preorder both, I will mail you a little thank you that includes my bookmark (signed and personalized) and a temporary tattoo themed to each book. That way when the books get to you (collection anticipated to ship in the spring and novella anticipated to ship in the fall), you can rock your new tat for a bookstagram and/or Facebook pic (or just for fun) and hold your place with my bookmark.

PS- The tattoo on my wrist below the bleeding colors is real! Not included in the swag (yikes)!! Also there are a variety of each book’s tattoos, so yours may differ from the ones pictured here.

Supplies are limited, so I will cap this if I run out of tattoos and/or bookmarks. If you order a copy of both books, just fill out the Google Form below with your mailing info. US only. Honor system here; I’m not checking receipts.

This giveaway is just for fun, to show my gratitude to everyone who supports my double debuts next year, and is not connected to either of my publishers. (Which also means these goodies are coming in addition to any/all extras my two publishers are offering, such as signed book plates, etc.)
