Witch You Would has been available on NetGalley and Edelweiss for a while, but last week I got an exciting package in the mail: galley copies, aka advance reader copies!

This is my fifth book, but it’s my first one writing as Lia Amador, and my first romance novel, which means I’m debuting all over again. That makes these galleys even more special to me, because they’re a tangible symbol of this new start.

The last time I got physical advance copies of a book of mine was for Chilling Effect in 2019. Then the pandemic started, everything went down the proverbial toilet along with hoarded toilet paper, and none of my other books ended up having ARCs.

I wasn’t sure whether I’d get any for this book, either. Without delving too deeply into politics, which are deeply exhausting at the best of times, many companies in different industries are dealing with import issues. Publishing seems okay for now, but who knows where we’ll be tomorrow, or next week, or next month.

But! I’m celebrating this win, because I try to celebrate all of them. I got a Costco membership and treated myself to a bottle of margarita wine cooler, then baked some vegan maple oatmeal muffins. It’s the little things.

If you want to win your very own advance print copy of Witch You Would, there’s a Goodreads giveaway happening until May 5th! Avon is giving away 100 copies, so your odds are pretty good. It’s US only, alas, sorry international folks.

If you’re a book blogger who wants a copy, or you want to interview me about this book (or any of my others), feel free to reach out!
