REVIEW THE BOOK ON GOODREADS

Hey everyone! If all goes according to plan I’ll be signing all of the preordered paperbacks on Thursday. The CEO of Inkshares sent me this picture this weekend. Doesn’t the final book look great?!

If you’ve already finished reading please give the book a star rating on Goodreads. Also write a review if you feel so inclined-the review can be something as simple as "I liked this book." The more ratings, the more attention the book will get. You can login to Goodreads with Facebook. It’s so freaking easy to help! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33534889-sunshine-is-forever

I’ll be opening preorders for my next book-KARID-sometime this fall. Follow the book here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/karid

Thank you for your continued support! I hope you love the book!

Campers!

I’m working on sending a personalized update to everyone who preordered Sunshine is Forever! It’s gonna take a few days-there are over 700 of you...in the meantime, I’ve launched an Inkshares page for my next book-KARID. If you’d head to this link and click FOLLOW that would be awesome. Oh yeah, and you can read the first chapter! I won’t be funding this book until after Sunshine is Forever is out, but I’ve loved my experience with Inkshares, and unless something changes, my plan is to publish my next book with them as well.

Hey fans and friends!

I want to give everyone who preordered my book in the funding stage something special. I really appreciate the support. Publishing with Inkshares has been a dream. So, if you were one of the first 750 people to preorder a paperback of my book, you will also get this limited bookmark with your shipment. (E-book preorders will not get this perk, mostly because you don’t need a bookmark for an e-book haha)

Thanks again!

Also, I was in Better Call Saul last night. Lines got cut, but you still see me, and I still got credited. Check it out!

Thanks for the continued support!

Campers!

The Advanced Reader Copies or Galleys (that’s what they call them in the industry) are going out in the mail this week to different critics and endorsers. This is exciting because this is the first time that the book is in print. Check it out! I think Inkshares did an amazing job on the cover. The colors and design are spot on for a young adult book. I can’t wait to hold this in my hands.

These Galleys aren’t for sale and this isn’t the final version of the book, but it is close to the final version. Your copy will come in the mail or in your e-mail on August 29, 2017, until then you can now enjoy the updated first two chapters at this link by clicking read:

Lots of exciting stuff is happening. I can’t wait for you to read the final book. So far people are loving it...

"Sunshine is Forever is surprisingly relatable. Keeps you on the edge of your seat! Very suspenseful." - Amber Portwood, author of Never Too Late, reality star of Teen Mom OG

"Savagely entertaining. It’s The Bell Jar meets Chuck Palahniuk—Cowan tackles teen angst with his own unforgettable brand of dark humor." - Helena Echlin, author of Gone and co-author of Sparked

"Cowan has the guts to take teen suicide and turn it into a darkly comic page turner in an unexpected camp setting." - Malena Watrous, author ofIf You Follow Me and co-author of Sparked

"Deep, truthful, and raw, Sunshine is Forever is a book that every school library should carry. This is my favorite book so far of 2017." — Dave Barrett, author of It’s All Fun and Games, winner of the Nerdist Collection Contest

"Kyle T. Cowan’s Sunshine is Forever is a powerful examination of teenage angst, sort of a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest for young Millennials. This is a tough story but it’s also one that’s filled with hope. A wholly impressive debut." - Jason Pomerance, author of Women Like Us

Keep telling your friends about Sunshine is Forever and look for it on August 29th. Thank you so much!
