Pre-orders and first week sales are immensely valuable to authors and publishers because they signal to booksellers that there’s demand for the book. If you pre-order Jade War or buy it within its first week of release, I’ll send you a signed bookplate, a postcard of the Green Bone oath, and a vinyl No Peak clan sticker to show off your clan loyalties!
All you have to do is:
1) Rush out and buy a copy of Jade War in any format (print, audio, e-book)
2) Post a selfie (or book photo, or pet photo) with your purchased copy of Jade War on social media (Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram) with the hashtag #JadeWar by July 31.
3) Email or DM me with a link to your post and your mailing address (anywhere in the world is fine!)
4) Receive your swag! (Allow 1-3 weeks for delivery)

In advance of its release on July 23, Jade War has garnered a triumvirate of starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, Library Journal, and Kirkus. Here’s what they’re saying:
“Lee’s story is sweeping, leisurely, and epic, and combines political intrigue with sharply choreographed action scenes, but it’s a character-driven family drama at its heart. Conflict ranges from delicate boardroom negotiations to dramatic duels, and from assassinations to all-out war, while the increasingly complex narrative continually ups the stakes. This worthy continuation of the larger story line delivers a satisfying tale and sets the stage for the next installment.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Smart and action-filled fantasy, filled with vibrant characters.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“Strong, thoughtful, and fast-paced.” —Kirkus (starred review)

My fun superhero short story, “Welcome to the Legion of Six” has been published by The Overcast. This is my first podcast publication and I think the audio format suits this story particularly well, particularly with J.S. Arquin’s expressive narration. Have a listen here.
