A promise made is a promise kept, and now I can share that the paperback & swag pre-orders for my early ’90s hockey romance, LOVE WANTS US TO WIN, are OPEN with Hopeless Romantic Bookshop in Canada and the Well Red Damsel in the USA!
When you reserve your beautiful signed paperback (with the cute raccoon on the spine drawn by artist Liz Parkes), you’ll also receive:
🏒a huge pack of stickers including Waffles the basset hound, pancakes, a sugar glider, how to pronounce “Toronto” & the special Liz Parkes-designed sticker set of raccoons, a mmmarvellous muffin, hockey stick and more!
🏒 either a signed paperback or bookplate
🏒an exclusive double-sided Love Wants Us to Win bookmark
🏒four—count ‘em—FOUR character art prints of Oliver & Georgie, each one created by a different artist: Len Gorbunova, Rose Miller, Serene Illustrations, and Kristen Li.
