THE SUMMER SHARE is OUT!!!

WELOME to Jungle Red Writers Lite!
We're posting Mondays and Thursdays for the summer!
And with that, let me share my BIG news...

BUY NOW


Jenn McKinlay: Here she is! My 60th book! Crazy, huh?

As you can imagine, coming up with new and different ways to get people to notice your book can be rather challenging after so many releases. Thankfully, I have a helper (lookin' at you Jenel!), who has created some awesome promo videos for me. 

The first one is using a scene from the book (a sea turtle hatching), hoping to draw in those animal lovers:



The second is sharing a review on the odd chance someone else's opinion will sway a potential reader:






Lastly, there is a book quote video to see if that will get a reader to click the buy link:



Now tell me, Reds and Readers, which is your favorite of the following types of promo video and which would entice you to pick up the book?

Here' s more info if you want to know more about The Summer Share (which was given a starred review from Booklist):

When two misfits discover they’ve inherited the same beach house, sparks fly in the most unexpected ways, in this hilarious and heartfelt rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author of Summer Reading.

Free-spirited travel influencer Hannah Spencer has spent five years touring the country in her vintage van. An unexpected inheritance from her Pops brings Hannah to Cape Split, North Carolina, where she learns she’s the new owner of a worse-for-wear seaside beach house. Or, rather, fifty percent of one. Turns out Simon O’Malley inherited the other half from his Gramps.

As Simon and Hannah spend the summer tag-teaming repairs on the crumbling cottage, they discover the house was once home to a timeless love story. Soon, they begin to wonder if the house’s romantic past may be a good omen for their future together. But there’s one problem—Simon is set on selling the property at the end of the summer.

Hannah thought one summer at the Split would be enough, except it isn’t like any place she’s ever been, and Simon isn’t like any man she’s ever known—and she’s thinking about putting down some roots. She just needs Simon to see their budding relationship and this newfound community the same way or their first summer share might also be their last.

  1. My book is on the way, Jenn. I like all of the promos, and any one of them could entice me to check a book out. I definitely am most drawn in by book quotes. I hardly ever read anyone else's reviews althoughposting them that way will get my attention. But I want to know what a book is about before I buy it. A very few writers are automatic pre-orders for me. Those authors are very reliable storytellers whose books I want to keep or share with my friends. Jenn, I think I own all 60 of your books in one version or another.
