Hi Kyle, here’s a review I sent out to my readers:
With "Sunshine Is Forever," Cowan has crafted a darkly charming, frank, candid, and entertaining tale of teen angst and depression. His style is both humorous and honest. I look forward to more from this fresh writer.

Campers!

The Advanced Reader Copies of Sunshine is Forever are slowly going out! So far we have gotten a few really awesome endorsements.

Here they are:

"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

I hope all of you enjoy the book as much as these people have! Look for it August 29th, and please keep urging your friends to preorder a copy!

Don’t forget to mark the book as "To Read" on Goodreads:

You can now sample the first 2 chapters of Sunshine is Forever by clicking "Read." If you sampled the original chapters, it should be pretty cool to see what has changed through the editing process. Enjoy!

We also received our 2nd endorsement quote yesterday:

"Savagely entertaining. Like The Bell Jar and The Catcher in the Rye, Cowan tackles teen angst, but does so with his own unforgettable brand of dark humor." — Helena Echlin, author of Gone and co-author of Sparked

People are really enjoying the book. I am so excited for its release on August 29, 2017!

Campers!

I bet you’re wondering, what’s going on with Sunshine is Forever? We are now done with Development Edits and Line Edits. The book is in the hands of the Copy Editor, and will be locked and loaded sometime in April. You will receive your book on August 29, 2017!

What happens between now and then? Between now and August we will be gathering endorsements, reviews, and purchase orders from bookstores. Inkshares will also finish the final design aspects of the book. Rest assured, even if the book is locked, there is still a ton of work to do.

In the meantime, we received our first endorsement over the weekend:

"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

I will keep you posted with more endorsements as we get them, but the early feedback is very promising.

Keep spreading the word and asking your friends to preorder a copy! Thank you so much for your support!

Campers,

Inkshares apologizes, but due to an unforeseen scheduling swap, Sunshine is Forever will now be released on August 29, 2017. All good things are worth waiting an extra fourteen days for...

Sorry about this, they promise that the date will not change again.
