Back of the Book Summary She vanished at six.She returned at sixteen.But she didn’t come home. Ten years ago, six-year-old Emily Harper disappeared from her backyard during a family barbecue in small-town Oregon. Despite endless searches and fading hope, her parents never stopped believing she might still be alive. Now sixteen, a girl known as Sara Jones survives a devastating car accident in Texas. A routine DNA test reveals the impossible—she is the missing child the world forgot. Pulled back into a family she doesn’t remember, Sara struggles with a life that feels чужer than the one she lost. Overwhelmed by grief, expectation, and a love she doesn’t yet understand, she runs—only to fall into something far more dangerous. As Sara searches for freedom, she must confront a painful truth: not every place that welcomes you is safe, and not every home is easy to return to. Who Is Sara Jones is a gripping emotional novel about identity, trauma, and the desperate human need to belong—an unforgettable story of loss, survival, and choosing where you finally come to rest.

I know most of you are still in your writing phase, and getting everything put together, but let's not skip thinking about how to promote the book before it's published. Pre-launch marketing isn’t extra work it’s how you: - build momentum - attract early readers - start an email list before day one Here are 3 things you can do right now, even if your book isn’t finished yet 👇 1️⃣ Talk about the problem your book solves on social media - the struggle your reader is dealing with - common mistakes they’re making - small mindset shifts or “aha” moments This is how you start building your audience. Do a challenge where you post about problems and solutions within your niche for 30 days or more. You don't even have to mention the book yet. If people relate to the problem, they’ll want the solution when your book drops. 2️⃣ Start collecting emails early (even with a simple freebie)This can be: - a short checklist - a 1-page PDF - a few journal prompts - a “coming soon” interest list Start setting up a funnel now, and thinking about how you can grow your audience. Those videos you spend time creating in step one get those followers off your socials and into your email list. How do you do that? You give something away, a quiz, a checklist, a custom GPT. Your goal isn’t perfection — it’s ownership. Social platforms change. Your email list doesn’t. 3️⃣ Consider a pre-launch podcast tour to share: - why you’re writing the book - how your book will help people - give an estimate of your launch month and say you're looking for early readers. This is a great way to build trust and collect reviews quickly when your book comes out. People love rooting for something in progress. When they feel part of the journey, they’re more likely to buy. 📌 Reminder: Books that sell well usually don’t start at launch — they start before launch. 👇 What is one activity you will choose start doing right now to grow awareness of your upcoming book?

📸 CONFESSION TIME: Who else takes completely unhinged selfies as a form of stress relief after hours glued to the keyboard writing their book? I swear, after staring at a manuscript for hours, my brain needs a pattern interrupt. Sometimes that interrupt is a walk. Sometimes it’s coffee. And sometimes… it’s pulling a ridiculous face and snapping a selfie just to remind myself I’m still human. 😜 Why silly selfies actually help when you’re deep in book mode: - 😆 Instant mood reset – Laughter breaks the stress loop fast - 🧠 Mental bookmark – You can look back and remember where you were when you were writing - 🔋 Burnout buffer – Proof that not every moment of publishing has to be serious - ✍️ Creative permission – If you can be playful, you can write freely - 💾 Future fuel – On rough days, these photos remind you you’ve survived harder drafts before Publishing is a long game. Sometimes the best productivity hack isn’t another sprint… it’s a moment of joy you can revisit when the keyboard fatigue hits. 📷 Your turn: Drop your craziest, funniest, most “I’ve been writing too long” selfie below. No judgment. Bonus points for pure chaos. 😄✍️ Let’s normalize having fun while building books.
