If you're a Barnes & Noble member in the U.S., you can save 25% on your pre-order for my next YA thriller, The Bitter End. Just use code PREORDER25 before July 17! Pre-orders mean a lot to authors, as strong early numbers can mean more support from our publishers, so if you plan on buying TBE and are already a B&N member, this is the perfect opportunity! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-bitter-end-alexa-donn…
There's an ARC giveaway happening on Instagram featuring The Bitter End (by me!) and Girls Who Burn, by MK Pagano! If you're hoping to get your hands on an ARC of TBE sooner rather than later (as I do plan to do some giveaways soon), head over there to enter! I blurbed MK's debut thriller and it's one you don't want to miss, especially if you read and loved my book Pretty Dead Queens. www.instagram.com/p/C9NYlxAA0Tl/?utm_source=ig_web…
Hey everyone! I know I'm well past time to maybe make some videos again... I have a few topics in mind that I've been saving, but I've been away so long I want to ask all of you: are there any particular topics you'd like to see me tackle? I don't see myself returning to my old schedule, but will endeavor to at least certainly post a *bit* more often!
If anyone is attending WonderCon next weekend, I will be on a panel with Jonathan Maberry, Chuck Tingle, and Liz Kerin on Saturday at 1 PM in room 209! We'll have what I'm sure will be an incredibly entertaining discussion on thrillers and suspense :) A signing will follow and the on-site bookseller should have The Ivies and Pretty Dead Queens for sure--plus I may have a sneaky ARC of The Bitter End to give away to one lucky person! (plus bookmarks and stickers!) lmk in the comments if you'll be there.
More news from me! I am SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP to announce I'm doing an event with Holly Jackson!!!!! AND it's going to be live streamed online, too! If you're in the Bay Area/Corte Madera, come in person! It's April 9, 2024 at 6 PM at Book Passage. www.bookpassage.com/event/holly-jackson
My next thriller, The Bitter End, has a KILLER COVER! The cover designer Casey Moses literally printed a sweatshirt and then Christine Blackburne did her photography magic. I'm in love! The Bitter End is And Then There Were None meets Gossip Girl and comes out October 15, 2024. Add TBE to your TBR, and pre-order from your favorite retailer today! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/723189/the-bitter…
... don't fall out of your chairs. I made a video. Get ready, I went down a rabbit hole.
