Heidi's Friend Comments

I've spent far too much time working on various publishing platforms to make Tattoo Thief available everywhere, and we're almost there (iBooks is still slow). Everywhere else, Tattoo Thief is live, and it will be $0.99 during Tyler & Stella's release.

T-minus 22 days until Tyler & Stella's release! This book is steamier, faster-paced and features two characters who have grabbed my heart and won't let go. I can't wait to launch Feb. 20!

Unbelievable release day! Thanks to everyone for reading, reviewing and sharing Tattoo Thief. Now for a hard-earned glass of bubbly... http://heidijoytretheway.com/2013/10/...

I am not making up that thing in my bio about building epic forts in my living room with the kids. Tonight's fort was so awesome, Drew demanded to sleep in there! Good thing I bought the bomb-proof coffee table the kids can jump on.

As a reader, I feel insulted when I buy a poorly edited book. Maybe I feel that the author *owes* me this. Even if the story's not my cup of tea, I want the editing to be right. I'm so obsessed with mistake-catching I even hand out salmon fillets to my work colleagues who spot an error in my marketing copy. (I call this "treats for typos," and it really works!)

I'm taking today to appreciate my editors: developmental editor, copy editor, proofreaders, and also my graphic designer's critical eye. They are outstanding professionals and I'm lucky to have found them. (And any mistakes are mine, I swear.)

Sending huge LOVE to the 1,521 people who have added Tattoo Thief to their Goodreads to-read list, and more love to those who have also added Tattoo Thief 2! To celebrate reaching the 1,500 add mark, I posted the first chapter on my website... http://heidijoytretheway.com/2013/09/...

Woot! Tattoo Thief is in its final race toward publication, buoyed by InkSlinger PR's blog tour and wonderful reader interest (thank you for all the to-read adds). I also have something special in the works for those who've already added Tattoo Thief 2 to their to-read shelves.
