The Sleepless Cover Reveal and Pre-Order Links
I’m so pleased to share with you all the final cover for The Sleepless. It’s designed by Brooklyn-based artist Dana Li, whose immense talent has produced such a stunning portfolio of book covers. Dana really captured the book’s vibe, and I hope this cover haunts and unsettles you all as it does me.
The exclusive cover reveal is also on the leading science/SF/nerd culture website io9. In addition, the article contains a short excerpt from the book’s first chapter. No context is required to enjoy it, and I hope it gives you a solid sense of this near-future world that I’ve created:
If this cover and the excerpt have excited you, I’d encourage you to place a pre-order of the book from your preferred online retailers. We have a release date – June 21, 2022 – and though that is about half a year away, a pre-order means you get the book as soon as it’s available.
(That’s right—you can get The Sleepless on the summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year. Isn’t that just the perfect time to stay up all night with a good book?)
You can now pre-order from these websites:
Amazon • Barnes & Noble • IndieBound • Bookshop.org
Pre-orders are crucial to a book’s prospects. There’s some marketing math involved, but basically, the more pre-orders a book has, the more likely it is that I get to write more stories like it in the future.
As usual, I’d like to close this message with a huge thank you for joining me along this journey. Being a debut author is sometimes scary and nerve-wracking, but each stage has been a delightful surprise, and that’s because of your continued support. Thanks for reading, and until next time!
