Hello friends, family, and Romancelandia!
I didn’t mean to wait until the last minute to start promoting ZOE BRENNAN, FIRST CRUSH and all the awesome events I’m doing for it, but alas, here we are, and you’re just hearing about it! ZOE releases January 21st, and let’s just say I’m behind the eight ball on this one.
First things first: my preorder campaign! Please preorder your copy of ZOE BRENNAN if you intend to buy—preorders help authors IMMENSELY! Make me look good to my publisher, and I’ll love you forever!
If you purchase your paperback copy of ZOE BRENNAN, FIRST CRUSH from Doylestown Bookshop, one of my absolute favorite indie bookstores in the Greater Philadelphia area, you will receive:
a signed, personalized copy of ZOE BRENNAN, FIRST CRUSH
stickers
potentially character art (see above, re: procrastination)
and the first 24 preorders will receive a cozy pair of socks and a leather heart bookmark, too!
Doylestown ships anywhere, so it doesn’t matter where you live!
Now, I’m doing lots of awesome events to celebrate ZOE, too!
To kick off ZOE BRENNAN, FIRST CRUSH’s release on January 21st, my first stop will be in New Orleans the weekend prior!!
Alexandra is one of my favorite romance authors AND people, so this night will surely be amazing! If you’re in the New Orleans area, please come see us!! You can preorder copies to be at Blue Cypress Books and RSVP at the button below:
My second event will be in Collingswood, NJ, just over the bridge from Philadelphia, at the amazing Kiss & Tale Bookshop! We’re doing a happy hour wine tasting and conversation! RSVPs are limited because of the small space, and you must be 21+ to drink! Please come and tie one on with us to discuss ZOE BRENNAN!
More information at: Kiss and Tale (The RSVP links aren’t up yet, but stay tuned!)
For my third event, and my official Philly launch, I’m partying down at the Doylestown Bookshop on January 25th at 3 pm with my dear friend and fellow romance author, Rosie Danan! If you preorder from the link above for Doylestown, you can pick up at the store at the event.

Here’s a handy run-down of other events I’m doing, too! If you’re in the New Orleans, Orlando, Philly, Atlanta, New Jersey, Maryland, Portland, Pittsburgh, or Milwaukee areas, please come see me!!
As if this wasn’t enough events to discuss, I will also be serving as a conversation partner for my dear friend Jenny Howe’s book launch at The Purple Couch in Andover, MA for her newest romcom How To Get a Life in Ten Dates on January 8th! The Purple Couch has managed to finagle EARLY COPIES OF ZOE that will be available for purchase at Jenny’s event a full 2 weeks prior to publication!!

ZOE BRENNAN, FIRST CRUSH is my swooniest, steamiest, and angstiest romance yet, but it’s also just as fun, funny, and heartwarming as HANNAH TATE. Also, if you’re big Hannah/River fans, their story continues in ZOE, and one of my favorite scenes ever involves an extended look at Hannah and River’s HEA in motion. <3 I hope you all buy it, love it, leave a review for it, and come to one of my events so I can give you a big hug.
Much love and romantic feelings,
Laura
