PIECES OF HER NEWS, LIKE THAT IT’S NOW IN STORES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ALSO UPDATES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BEGGING AND PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP

 

*************************************************************************************
WAIT, DIDN’T YOU JUST SEND ME A NEWSLETTER LAST MONTH WHEREIN YOU PROMISED NOT TO BUG ME UNLESS IT WAS SUPER IMPORTANT???
*************************************************************************************
 Why, yes.  Yes I did.
 
And I don’t have just ONE Super Important thing to tell you but TWO Super important things, which makes them more SUPER IMPORTANTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE KNOWN WORLD*!

• Super Importanter the First:  PIECES OF HER is out in the United States TODAY! Hurray for PIECES OF HER!!!  Hurray for no more waiting for PIECES OF HER (in the United States).
 

• Super Importanter the Second**: I don’t know if you saw the AWESOMELY EXCITING NEWS that Made Up Stories (the people who brought you BIG LITTLE LIES and other spectacular projects) has optioned PIECES OF HER for film/tv and has brought on Charlotte Stoudt (an amazingly talented writer from HOUSE OF CARDS, among many other things) to write the PIECES OF HER script and Lesli Linka Glatter (the equally amazing director of HOMELAND and other shows that would make you go WOW I WATCHED THAT) to direct PIECES OF HER for the screen.

 
*************************************************************************************
I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO HYPNOTISE ME BY REPEATING THE TITLE OF THE BOOK AGAIN AND AGAIN SO PLEASE DON’T DIG DEEPER INTO MY SUBCONSCIOUS AND MAKE ME OOHP-OOHP LIKE A MONKEY
*************************************************************************************
 I would never do that! 
 
But who doesn’t love an oohp-oohp?
 
Here’s the thing, my readers: the first week of a book’s life is the most important week of a book’s life, so if you are thinking of reading PIECES OF HER (and why wouldn’t you be???), then it’d be really, really swell if you could go ahead and click ye olde order button or contact your local indie to help support #bestweekfirstweek #SlaughterSquad.
 
And if you are in the US, you can come see me on tour!  Or don’t come see me and stay in your pajamas and ask them to mail you a signed copy of my book.
 
*************************************************************************************

*************************************************************************************
WHAT ARE THESE EVENTS LIKE BECAUSE I THINK AUTHORS ARE BORING AND I WOULD RATHER READ THE BOOK
*************************************************************************************
Well…I shouldn’t brag, but my dad thinks that my book events are the best book events ever, and you know that a father would never lie to his daughter.
 
You can see with your own eyes the fun and merriment that follows me wherever I go on my Facebook and Instagram pages!
 
If you want to post some stuff of your own, please remember to use the hashtag #SlaughterSquad so my publishers and I can help re-post your awesome photos, etc. 
*************************************************************************************
WELL LET ME THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I AM OBSTINATE AND PRONE TO OVERGROOMING SO BASICALLY I COULD BE A CAT AND YOU KNOW CATS NEVER DO WHAT YOU TELL THEM TO DO
*************************************************************************************
Don’t I know it!
 
If you need a more compelling reason than seeing little ol’ me, you can attend Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, where I will be a guest of honor, alongside my pals Sara Blaedel and Lisa Unger, and also Alafair Burke is going to interview me, so basically this could be the best four days of your life. 
 
Even though it’s in Florida.
 
*************************************************************************************
WOW THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?  I THINK I NEED A NAP SO GOOD THING I AM ALREADY IN MY WORK PJs
*************************************************************************************
I guess I could remind you one more time that the first week a book is out is the most important week of that book’s life.
 
Just ask the Netherlands, Belgium, and Australia where my lovely readers have already made PIECES OF HER #1!
 
*************************************************************************************
OKAY OKAY I GOT IT WHY AM I STILL READING THIS???

*************************************************************************************

I can give you FOUR reasons:

2. #firstweekbestweek

 

******************************************************************************************************
*At least to me.
**Doesn’t that sound like a show cat’s name?*** Like Super Importanter the Second, aka Fluff, because you know a cat with that title has to be a Persian.
***Why do cats have so many aliases?  What are they hiding?******************************************************************************************************
