Okay, deep breath.

This is not a drill. This is not a test. This is the moment my book—Marked by Fate—officially went live for distribution through IngramSpark.

What does that mean? It means both the paperback and the hardcover have passed eproof inspection (after a very emotional battle with formatting and margins, if we’re being honest), and they are now available for bookstores, libraries, and retailers to order—worldwide.

Yes. Worldwide.

So now, not only can you preorder a copy directly from me on my [author site][LINK], but indie bookstores (like my local favorite, Birch Tree Bookery!), libraries, and even major retailers like Barnes & Noble can start stocking copies in time for release day. And if that doesn’t make me want to ugly cry in the best way, I don’t know what does.

Even better? This was my final step in online distribution.

Amazon proofs for both the hardcover and paperback have officially been approved. My author copies are sitting in my cart right now, just waiting for me to hit “checkout.” They’ll be here with time to spare—ready for preorder shipping and in-person pickup at the launch party. Every single edition of this book is locked, loaded, and DONE. No more formatting tweaks. No more cover realignments. No more waiting.

Here’s where everything stands:

Hard copies (paperback & hardcover) are available to preorder directly from me—and every direct order comes with a free special edition bookmark because you deserve cute extras.

eBooks are available for preorder across all the major platforms: Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and more. Check out the universal link here.

AND if you’re coming to the Marked by Fate Launch Party on May 17? You can pick up your book a week early. I’ll have a limited supply of copies at the event, so it’s first come, first serve—but preordering guarantees yours is set aside and waiting. RSVP here for the party!

I’ve had the idea for this series for over a decade. To see it finally land in the hands of retailers, to know it’ll be on real shelves soon—it’s surreal. This is a huge milestone in my publishing journey, and I couldn’t be more proud (or more grateful to everyone who’s come along for the ride).

So what’s next?

Now the next phase of the publishing game begins: marketing. It’s time to reach out to indie bookstores, libraries, and more to help get Marked by Fate into the hands of even more readers. The creative work may be done—but the mission is just getting started.

Thank you for believing in this story—and in me.
