GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really late and I am super sorry! (I was caving this week and I am still super sore!)
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Enough of me!!!
Since my laptop won't let me copy pictures right now ill just give you the words!!
I
promised I would tell you a little more about UNLOCKED (Keeper of the
Lost Cities Book 8.5) today—and I am a girl of my word!!! I can't tell
you everything yet, since I'm still working on the book, but here are
the things I can share:
✨✨✨
1. As I said yesterday, UNLOCKED is a
CONTINUATION of the main story of the KEEPER series, picking up right
from the cliffhanger of #Legacy
and filled with plenty of huge reveals—which means it's SUPER IMPORTANT
for the overall series arc and you definitely don’t want to miss it.
2.
I also told you that UNLOCKED is being told in a new way—and it is! The
story will be told from BOTH Sophie AND Keefe’s perspectives!!!!!
(still in third person, with each chapter labeled to make it clear whose
POV we're in.) This will be the first time (in one of the main KEEPER
books) where we get to hear the thoughts of someone besides Sophie, and
it allows me to include all kinds of insights into Keefe for this next
part of the adventure. (and yes, you can infer from that teaser that
Keefe WILL be an active part of UNLOCKED—as will your other favorite
KEEPER characters!).
3. I also told you yesterday that UNLOCKED will
have a bunch of cool bonuses—and they are seriously awesome, including:
brand new full color art pieces as well as black and white
illustrations, a comprehensive series guide to help you easily keep
track of everything going on (plus information I’ve never revealed about
the Keeper world and characters before), Keeper-themed recipes, an
official map of the Lost Cities, and much, much more! ✨✨✨
That's all I
can share for now—but I'll be revealing lots more about UNLOCKED over
the next few months as we gear up for its November 17th release date.
It's going to be incredibly cool and incredibly special and I know
you're going to love it!
💙💙💙
And make sure you check my feed
tomorrow to learn about a couple more exciting KEEPER things that will
be coming out this year! It's an awesome time to be a part of the KEEPER
fandom!
We’re not done with all the KEEPER
excitement for 2020! I told you yesterday that there’d be other fabulous
things coming out this year, and today I get to tell you about them! So
let's get one final drumroll...
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
In addition to
UNLOCKED (Book 8.5), there will be THREE other new Keeper releases! One
of them you probably expected: the LEGACY paperback coming out
10/13/20—but even that's going to be extra awesome because it will have
the Tam story (which was published in the 1st printing of the LEGACY
hardcover) AND will also include an excerpt of UNLOCKED!
.
And the
other two KEEPER releases are surprises! First: an ANNOTATED paperback
of KEEPER Book 1, coming out 8/25/20, which will include full-page
black and white illustrations (yes, even more awesome KEEPER ART!!!), as
well as commentary from me hand-written in the margins!!! It'll be a
little like the bonus scene that was in the B&N exclusive edition of
LEGACY—but instead of notes on an early draft, this will be
behind-the-scenes thoughts on the finished version of KEEPER. I'm
working on the annotations now, and it's SO FUN getting to share all
kinds of secrets. Can't wait for you guys to read!
.
And as if
THAT wasn't amazing enough, there will ALSO be a gorgeous new boxed set
of KEEPER Books 1-3 coming out on 10/27/20 which will have stunning
BRAND NEW ART on the outside of the box! (I've seen the art in progress
and it's seriously so beautiful. I can't tell you which scene it's of,
or which characters are in it yet—but trust me, you're all going to
freak out when you see it!) AND inside the boxed set, there will also be
a special KEEPER STICKER SHEET!
🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
And
that’s the last of the exciting news I have for you this week—but as I'm
sure you've noticed, there's still a LOT more I haven't shared with you
yet about these 2020 KEEPER releases. So, as always, keep watching my
Instagram—there's so much more to come! (including things like the Iggy
color vote and the cover reveal for UNLOCKED!!!) And THANK YOU for being
the best readers ever!!!!!!
