Release day is getting close and we are so excited! We have a few things to cover in this email, some great news and some… well… not-so-great news (for us authors more so than you guys). Let’s start off with the good!

The release date for Dance with the Devil has been moved up to Sept 29! 

Some things have come up that interfere with the original October 1 date, and we decided rather than making everyone wait even longer (boooo) we are just going to release it a couple of days earlier! 

This means everyone will be able to start posting Amazon reviews starting Sept 29! We know it’s still a month away, but don’t worry. We will make sure to send a reminder out the week before and day before so everyone who is planning to can get their reviews ready to post! 

Additionally, we have chosen to drop the price of the eBook to a special launch price of $0.99! This will help those who want to leave “verified purchase” reviews of Dance with the Devil, and this will also apply to Pre-Orders. If you already pre-ordered at the $3.99 listing, don’t worry you will only be charged the new $0.99 price on 9/29! 

Pre-Orders also help ranking of books on Amazon so they are more visible, so get yours soon if you can!

Speaking of posting reviews

The response we have gotten so far from you guys has been PHENOMENAL. Every single one of you that has rated and reviewed your love for Charlie and Lucifer and their shenanigans just makes our hearts soar with happiness! The encouraging words and outpouring of enjoyment for something C and I have worked so hard on means the universe to us and it’s definitely fueling the drive to get MORE into your hands as soon as possible.

THANK. YOU.

Next bit of great news: We have a discord!

Just as much as we love to write, C and I love having a sense of community. We felt the best way to do this was to have a general “meeting place” for all our readers and Plot Chasers to gather and not only get updates on our work but also have a place for readers to come together and enjoy each other’s company and talk about books they love!

At the moment, it is a very basic and simple chat space but it will be prettified over the next month to become your new favorite cozy little book nook or book club. Please feel free to join us on the Madison Chase Books discord by clicking here.

Street Teams

As we move closer to launch, we are going to start looking for our Street Team to start generating the hype. This is a limited group (don’t worry, you do not have to be part of our Street Team to remain a Plot Chaser and continue to get future ARC opportunities!). While we do want you all to let us know if you are interested in being a part of that team, please understand that not everyone will be selected. What does the Street Team do? They are a group of people who love this book so much they want to help it get off to the best start possible! This can be done by:

Posting reviews and book recs on multiple platformsTalking about the book in real life (word-of-mouth is powerful)Sharing official updates and announcements on their social mediaRequesting the book from local libraries and bookstores (the more requests the more likely they will order copies!)Host us for an author takeover/interview on your personal blogs or pages

The list goes on to how you might help us! So, please, if you would like to be a part of this team, send us an email. 

Now for the not-awesome news:

Being an Indie Author is HARD, y’all. And things still manage to slip past us no matter how many times we think we have looked over it. The worst thing we have discovered (today in fact) is that our file we had submitted for the print editions was missing chapter 1!

THE HORROR!!!!!

Thanks to one of our very own Plot Chasers, this was thankfully discovered in enough time to correct it prior to launch. It was only noticed by them because they were having trouble downloading the BookSirens file and we had to provide them a special file. This also happened to be the print file. I know there were at least one or two more of you who received this specific file, so PLEASE if the copy you read has Chapter 1 starting off with Charlie walking to the precinct to get chewed out by Carmen, reach out to us for the missing chapter! The correct Chapter 1 should have her meeting Lucifer for the first time (not the Prologue.)

This has now been corrected and the print versions are good to go. Sadly, we now have 20 author copies that were printed with this mistake. Ah…. the writing life.

And because we don’t want to leave on a bad note:

We are looking into holding a TikTok Live launch party on Saturday, September 29 (time TBD). What we do know is that we want to hold two giveaways during the party. The first giveaway will be a drawing for a special gift box that includes a signed copy of the book plus a few extra goodies to be announced during the Live. The second drawing will be for the First 5 Reviewers as we mentioned in our previous email, where someone will be drawn to receive a free signed copy of Dance with the Devil. 

To enter the Dance with the Devil Gift Box, you can either get an entry by leaving a review for the book (make sure you tag us so we see you!) or by joining the Launch Party Live event. If one of our First 5 happen to win the Box during the first giveaway, reviewer #6 will take their place in the drawing for the signed copy of the book. 

Again, if you have any burning questions about us, the book, or the writing process, get them ready and we will be happy to answer during the launch party.

So that’s it for now. We know it was a lengthy email but we definitely had a lot to update you all with. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all the kind words and awesomeness you have shown us. It only makes us want to write more and more stories to share with you guys. As always, if you run into any issues, reach out and we will try our best to help you figure things out!

Happy Reading our little Bookworms, Book Dragons, and Book Sluts!
