Checked BookScan to see if I sold any books this week and... I sold 9?! Flabbergasted 😍 Thank you to everyone who is taking a chance on this indie debut author!

I can't figure out which #revpit #10queries is mine for the life of me, so to prevent further scrolling, I will be assuming it's this one. 😆

(To whoever this actually belongs to, it sounds great!!)

#10Queries 4: MG/F, Ad

FF: I love the entire premise of this story. My inner nerd is doing a happy dance. Just the kind of opening chapter I love to see. Mystery, surprise, thrills. This book is going to be🔥. Gimme it now!

Kate DeMaio @k8demaiowrites.bsky.social · 19d

Oh cool! I'll check it out! Thanks so much!

Kate DeMaio @k8demaiowrites.bsky.social · 19d

That's awesome! What genre is your book? I've only connected with a few of the MG authors.

3 winners will get a copy of The Blacksmith's Boy!

I had the privilege of reading an ARC for this one. It was a suspenseful and emotional adventure!

When an ancient spell threatens the kingdom, Bok answers an unlikely summons from Princess Isabella to join her in protecting all they cherish.

The Blacksmith's Boy is such a fun read!

Bruce Buchanan @bbuchananwomble.bsky.social · Jul 23

Wow! Got the most wonderful review of THE BLACKSMITH'S BOY!
@k8demaiowrites.bsky.social says, "Right from the prologue, The Blacksmith's Boy starts off with a bang. Bok is a delightful main character who becomes entangled in magic, politics, love triangles, and a quest to save the kingdom."
