Chained Birds: A True Crime Memoir continues to pop up on several of Amazon’s Hot New Releases lists, despite the fact that no one’s been able to read or listen to a sample of the eBook and audiobook that are on pre-order.
Fun fact: Amazon does not offer that inside look or listen (nor allow reader reviews to be posted) until a book reaches its publication day, which, in my case, is November 12, 2024. But I have an off-site workaround for the curious because I have a blog — Voila! Check out the samples below, and if eBooks are your thing, know that the current sale price of $2.99 will go up to $7.49 on publication day. Print copies in hardback and paperback will be available on launch day, and if you’d like a reminder of that, you can sign up for my newsletter. I hope you enjoy this exclusive first look and listen of Chained Birds 😊
