If you missed out on the limited edition hardcover of A MAN FOR MRS CLAUS, Cover Snob, you can buy your copy here, without a subscription, while supplies last! 🎄❤️
www.coversnob.com/sh...
The hard cover with decorated edges of A MAN FOR MRS CLAUS by Rebekah Weatherspoon. A Black couple embraces. The man is kissing the woman's neck as she holds a sprig of mistletoe over their heads. He is wearing a red tshirt and fireman's gear pants with suspenders. She is wearing a short tight fur lined red christmas dress and white boots. This book takes place in the summer so its technically a North Pole romance, not so much a Christmas romance. A Man for Mrs. Claus - Exclusive Cover Snob Edition $43.95 A Man for Mrs. Claus Exclusive Edition Includes: Illustrated hardcover with foiling Illustrated endpapers Three-sided digital sprayed edge Signed bookplate Bookmark BONUS sticker (while supplies last)

why you should preorder my next novel YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN NICER TO MY MOM :)

#booksky
The novel 'You Should've Been Nicer To My Mom' sitting under a large text that says "WHY YOU SHOULD PREORDER" with arrows pointing to the book. WHAT HAPPENS: "A young woman goes home for the reading of her grandfather’s will. Instead of being told what the family is inheriting, there is a message: “One of you is not who you say you are. One of you is el bacà—the demon I made a pact with years ago.” They have to figure out who it is...or they’ll all be damned." The cover of YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICER TO MY MOM sits under the text with a devil horn headband. HOW PREORDERS HELP: - An author’s best chance of ending up on a best-seller’s list - Shows the publisher what kind of stories you want more of - Tells bookstores what books they should keep in stock - Helps me to keep selling books :)
