Pre-Order Giveaway

Hi Readers!

I’m so excited to share my third book, The Star and the Strange Moon with you!  Many of you have asked if pre-ordering the book is important! The answer is “yes!” Pre-orders are so important to writers because booksellers (both physical and digital) often determine future orders by the strength of first week’s sales. To thank you for pre-ordering the book, I’m offering a special gift pack to everyone who orders a copy of The Star and the Strange Moon between now and November 13th! Also, two grand prize winners will receive some unique and vintage film gifts! 😍 I’m so excited to share some of the products that we’ve created for this book.

Please make sure to submit your proof of purchase below so you can receive all your gifts and be entered in the grand prize drawing!

Thank you so much for reading!

About the book

The Star and the Strange Moon is a haunting tale of ambition, obsession, and the eternal mystery and magic of film.  

A vanished star. A haunted film. A mystery only love can unravel…

1968: Gemma Turner once dreamed of stardom. Now the actress is on the cusp of obscurity. When she’s offered the lead in a radical new horror film, Gemma believes her luck has changed—but her dream is about to turn into a nightmare. One night, between the shadows of an alleyway, Gemma disappears on set and is never seen again. Yet, Gemma is alive. She’s been pulled into the film. And the script—and the monsters within it—are coming to life. Gemma must play her role perfectly if she hopes to survive.

2007: Gemma Turner’s disappearance is one of Hollywood’s greatest mysteries—one that’s captivated film student Christopher Kent ever since he saw L’Étrange Lune for the first time. The screenings only happen once a decade and each time there is new, impossible footage of Gemma that shouldn’t exist. Curiosity drives Christopher to unravel the truth. But answers to the film’s mystery may leave him trapped by it forever.
