RULE Is Out MAY 19! Book Launch Events!

Hi all! Rule, the third and final book in the Unraveled Kingdom trilogy, is out in just two weeks! Unfortunately, we aren't able to plan for any in-person events, but I'd like to invite you to TWO online events that week! First up, an in-conversation with Tasha Suri via Orbit Live's Crowdcast channel! This is a GREAT format--you can ask questions, and Tasha and I will talk, ask each other questions, probably get interrupted by our cats... May 19, at 5 pm EDT/10 pm BST (and if you miss it live, you can still leave a question ahead of time and watch the cast later!) Go sign up and join us! Next, join Orbit's Lauren Panepinto for Orbit Tavern, on Instagram Live ! In this fun format, Lauren makes a delicious cocktail and there are books. What could be better?
