Booktober Madness!
Our Amazon pre order drama, a release day giveaway, and my super important question for you.
Woohoo!! Booktober 2022 is here!
Hi, Book Monsters, are you ready for the weekend? Do you have any Halloween festivities planned? Are you excited to read a bunch of spooky-romantic PNR stories? I know I am!
Okay, now for the event we’ve all been waiting for. Drumroll, please… Booktober 2022…is going live… tomorrow. Huh? “But, Amanda, you said it would be out today.” I know, I know and it is… sort of. (facepalm) Any of you who have been following me on social media this week, have surely heard by now that Amazon had a major glitch in their system that completely deleted our preorder. Total disaster, I tell you! Luckily, the awesome authors spearheading this project got right in there and wrangled “he zon” into shape, so the link was repaired as quickly as could be. If your pre order got deleted, please use the link in this email to reorder your copy. (You most likely received an email from Amazon about the cancellation.) This only effected Amazon preorders. If you ordered a copy off Smashwords or anywhere else, you should be good to go. All of this means that Booktober 2022 is live on all non-zon retailers today, and will go live on Amazon tomorrow October 29th. So sorry for the inconvenience. We were really disappointed too. But the steamy stories in this year’s anthology are sure to make up for all the trouble. I can’t wait for you to read my cyber fae, Big Bad Wolf retelling, Who’s Afraid of the Sexy Villain!
Speaking of which, here’s another little teaser from Who’s Afraid that I posted on some of my sites earlier this week:
I know all the Booktober authors are really excited for you to read their stories too, and we’re all so grateful for your support of the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

There is a chill in the air and the scent of pumpkin spice on the wind. So take a seat by our fireside, my pretties, because Booktober is back.
All Hallow’s Eve is when our bookish fantasies come to life. This spicy paranormal romance collection is packed full of spooky twists and tantalizing turns. Each page will suck you deeper into a world filled with vampires and demons–shifters, aliens and witches, too.
Join us as we discover the sexy creatures lurking in the shadows who will raise the hair on your arms and warm your blood to boiling.

Okay, Book Monsters, now for my question, and why don’t we turn this into a giveaway opportunity while we’re at it:
What is your favorite Halloween movie?
Tell me in comments or in a reply to this email and I will choose a winner from your answers to receive a FREE ebook copy of Booktober 2022.
Sometimes, Halloween night is really cold where I live. When that happens we end up going inside early and watching something festive. Maybe this year, we’ll pick one of your favorites.
*Giveaway is sponsored entirely by me, Amanda V Shane, and is in no way affiliated with Substack or any other companies. Winner will be announced in my next newsletter.
Well, lairlings, that’s all I have for you today. I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am to spend a little time with you here in our readers’ hang out, and be able to chat with you about books and my writing. I truly appreciate you making room for me in your inbox. I hope you have a really great weekend and a very happy Halloween. Till next time…
Stay in the magic!
