Hi,

Advertising is expensive, so I'm sneaking this in. :)

I just added a paperback bundle of the SAND RUNNER SERIES to my shop and put it on sale. Each book is signed as well! (Offer good in the U.S only, sorry.)

So if you love dystopian young adult fiction with a love story at its heart, visit VeraBrookShop.com and take a look!

My store, Vera Brook Shop, has been very quiet. So how about a very special summer sale to encourage you all to visit?

For a limited time, get a paperback of THE MISFIT & THE BEAST, my new YA romance about first love and high school theater, for $16.99. Plus a free paperback of THE KISS as my gift!

Offer good only in the U.S. (sorry), while supplies last.

Hi,

I have news! I released my new book and launched my new online store!

THE MISFIT & THE BEAST is a young adult romance about first love and high school theater — and you can buy an ebook or paperback directly from me, the author, by visiting VERA BROOK SHOP!

And all ebooks are on sale for $3 in July!



If you buy a paperback, I will happily sign it for you and personally take it to the post office. (Available in the U.S. only for now; sorry.)

Please share widely and help me spread the word!

And as always, thank you for your interest and support. It means a lot to me.

Take care,

Vera

Hi,

My new book, THE MISFIT & THE BEAST, is now on preorders! You can preorder a paperback from Barnes & Noble, or ebook from B&N, Amz or Kobo.

Out on June 21, 2023, the first day of summer!

You can also add it to your GR Want To Read list! The book doesn't show up in GR search yet, for some reason, but the link is here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3684....

It's a YA contemporary romance about first love, high school theater, and the courage to break the rules, be yourself & follow your heart. It’s also inspired by the Beauty & the Beast, although not a true retelling. And I'm totally channeling my inner teen and all her romantic angst & dreams in it, so it gets intense.

Here are some photos of the book in the wild.









You can read the first 3 chapters on my website: https://www.verabrook.com/book/the-mi...

Happy reading! And thank you for supporting an indie author!

Dear All,

I finished a new book, THE MISFIT & THE BEAST, which I plan to release on June 21 (the first day of summer).

And I would love to get some early reviews!

The book is quite long, 505 pages, but my beta readers tell me it felt shorter and was hard to put down. (Music to my ears!)

There's kissing and sexual fantasies, but no explicit sexual content.

I'm an indie author on a small budget, so only digital ARCs are available. (Please note: no pay.)

I would hope that you would post honest reviews on GR and/or AMZ, Kobo, or any other book platforms. Social media boosting would be fantastic too.

Please message me on here or email verabrook1@gmail.com if interested.

Thanks for considering, and all the best,

Vera

It's very simple. I only rate & review the books I love. 5 stars. The books I want to push into people's hands and shout about from the rooftops.

If I don't love a book, I don't rate or review it.

Hi,

It's been a while, but I'm back. I'm excited to read a lot of fiction this year - and to write some!

Good luck with YOUR reading & writing goals!

Hi. I hope you are all doing well.

If you wanted to read SAND RUNNER but never had a chance, now is the perfect time!

I've put together an ebook series bundle that contains all three books so far: SAND RUNNER (Book 1), CAGE RUNNER (Book 2), and GHOST RUNNER (Book 3).

It'll be available on Kobo first, in a day or two, just because I like them, but it's coming to other online stores soon as well.

Thanks so much for your support!

Hi,
