PRE-ORDER THANK YOUS
I’ll be grateful if you pre-order Very Bad People from any retailer, anywhere, and/or request it at your local library. All pre-sales and library requests help tremendously! But for this book, I am doing something extra to support my local independent bookstore, Riverstone, the host of my launch event. So to thank everyone who pre-orders through Riverstone Bookstore, I’m offering some very fun goodies. Riverstone ships everywhere within the US (and they offer an affordable Media Mail shipping option), so even if you’re not local to Pittsburgh, you can pre-order through Riverstone to receive the below goodies.
What you’ll get: Your Very Bad People hardcover will be signed, stamped, and personalized! (Same goes for paperbacks of I Killed Zoe Spanos!) To reserve your copy of either/both books, purchase through Riverstone here and include your desired personalization in the “Order Comments” section of the check-out page. Offer valid on all hardcovers of Very Bad People and paperbacks of I Killed Zoe Spanos purchased from Riverstone Bookstore through the launch event date of Thursday, April 7.
Custom Haunt and Rail Society stamp!
What does “stamped” mean? I order a themed rubber stamp for each of my books to add a little extra flare when signing. The I Killed Zoe Spanos stamp is a little boat. The stamp for Very Bad People (pictured to the right) is a custom stamp I had designed for the secret student group in the novel, the Haunt and Rail Society!
Swag: While supplies last, each copy pre-ordered through Riverstone will also include swag! I’ll throw in a Very Bad People bookmark and a Haunt and Rail Society temporary tattoo with your book! (And if you’re ordering the I Killed Zoe Spanos paperback, your order will include a Zoe bookmark and sticker! Also while supplies last.) There is no need to submit your receipt to enter. Everyone who pre-orders through Riverstone is automatically eligible for these thank-you goodies!
(Finally, if you’re outside the US and pre-order Very Bad People through Book Depository or another retailer, fill out this google form and I’ll pop the swag in an envelope for you. This offer is only open to readers outside the US, also through April 7, 2022; otherwise, place your pre-order through Riverstone to receive the thank-you goodies!)
One more thing! Last but not least, the first edition hardcover of Very Bad People will be printed with a special foil stamped case! (That’s the book’s hard cover, beneath the dust jacket.) This special foil stamp is exclusive to the first edition, so pre-ordering or purchasing during release week is the best way to ensure you’ll get a copy.
Pre-orders and first week sales are incredibly important and helpful to authors, so if you can support me and Very Bad People in this way, you have my eternal thanks!
To reserve your signed/stamped/personalized hardcover and thank-you goodies, pre-order from Riverstone Bookstore:
