The Ship Beyond Time: Preorder Incentive

January 9, 2017 by Heidi Heilig

Soooooooo The Ship Beyond Time comes out in less than two months and I haven’t done anything to promote it.

[insert sailor swears here]

This is not because the book is no good. Au contraire! The Ship Beyond Time got rave reviews from Kirkus, Booklist, and School Library Journal (they even gave me a star, yay!) Entertainment Weekly called it one of their most anticipated books of 2017, and more importantly to me, early readers have loved the story (some even going so far as to curse my name for the ending, which is perhaps the highest honor a reader can bestow.)

No, my lack of promotion has been due in large part to a strong desire for a real life time machine (dial set for November 7th 2016) and to an extremely crunched schedule consisting of writing my own fantastic next book and reading the fabulous books of others. But now I’ve wasted two paragraphs explaining myself and the clock is really ticking, so without further ado, let me announce my preorder incentive.

I’m not going to be subtle–I want your preorders! Preorders are the best way to ensure a book and an author gets love and attention from publishers and press, and we all want is love and attention, right? Or is that only a holdover from my theatre days? ANYWAY. To encourage those preorders, I’m offering an incentive in the form of a beautiful cloisonne pin shaped like the Temptation.

special-swag Tada!

I have a limited amount of these pins, so if you’re on the fence about preordering but you really really like collecting rare swag*, this might just sway you! So go on, preorder**! Then enter your info here.

*Yes, for those who asked, I DID look into cloning Kashmir, but the Cloning Nerds have a friendly rivalry with us Time Travel Nerds and there are a lot more of them than us–at least, intermittently, between the moments that we fire up the time machine to go back to stop Casey from pressing the clone button FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME.

**This incentive was originally conceived as an incentive for indie bookstores only, but it was rightfully pointed out to me that access to an indie bookstore is a privilege. Supporting indie bookstores is near and dear to my heart, and by supporting indie bookstores, you are helping make them accessible to more people, so I highly encourage you preorder from your local indie, BUT, if you cannot, you are still welcome to claim your incentive along with my gratitude. 🙂

UK Cover

Tada! The UK cover for THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE!

THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE UK cover

When I first saw it, I was swept away by the richness of the colors and the tropical-adventure feel. I love how this cover perfectly captures an entirely different (but just as important) aspect of the story–namely, finding home in a place and time you’ve never visited, but somehow belong. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

New Website

October 27, 2015 by heidiadmin

The post title (and the gorgeous new look) really says it all, doesn’t it?

LOOK

I’m really so very pleased to share the website that Kris at My Friends Are Writers dreamed up. It’s clean, shiny, and responsive (yay!!! also, I did not know what that was? Thankfully she did!)(it’s “mobile friendly,” in case you and I have that in common, and it affects search engine ranking. Who knew? She did, we’ve established that. ANYWAY!)

There is an events page that will let you know where you can find me and when, and a downloadable press kit on the contact page. And (and this is what I’m MOST excited about) a front-page sign up for the newsletter that we’re rolling out soon. (A newsletter I’ve been trying unsuccessfully on my own to organize, and have no shame about admitting will now finally happen thanks to Kris and MFAW.)

Please sign up, it’s going to be awesome! We’re dreaming up a fun giveaway surrounding it–more news on that soon. In the meantime, click around and enjoy the new space! I know I am.

New York Comic Con Appearance/Secret Password

September 28, 2015 by heidiadmin

My first official book-related appearance will be at New York Comic Con on Saturday October 10th! 

I’ll be on an Epic Reads Book Club panel at 12:15 with Actual Real Life Authors Jodi Meadows (Mirror King & My Lady Jane),  Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton (Tiny Pretty Things), Danielle Paige (Yellow Brick War), and Dan Wells (Bluescreen).

 
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little intimidated! So if you see me around, PLEASE say hello and remind me how we know each other. Grade school? Twitter? Coffee shop? Midnight brawl in a dark alley? (Please specify WHICH dark alley!)
And give me the password–“navigation“–for the best swag, while supplies last!
