ARC Sign Up
The Archer & The Flame
How it works
An ARC is an Advance Review Copy, where an author or publisher sends out free copies of their book before release day to readers, who then leave a voluntary review. This is done so that when the book launches, there are already reviews posted online to help readers decide if they would like it.
My ARCs will be ebooks only and will be distributed by Bookfunnel, including epubs if you would like to read on your Kindle or ereader.
To sign up, complete the form on this page. If your application is successful (the majority will be!), you will receive an email confirmation but the book won't be sent yet!
When the ARC period starts (28th October), you will receive an email with a link to download your review copy and key dates. There will also be a reminder email sent on launch day for leaving your review, if you haven't already.
For some platforms, e.g. Goodreads, you can leave your review whenever you'd like once you've read the ARC. For websites with a product listing, like Amazon, you will need to wait until launch day as it's not possible to post before then.
There are no restrictions on reviews - DNFs, 1 stars, 5 stars and everything in between are all valid. I am providing the review copy only with the expectation that you will read and leave a review. The content of that review is your honest opinion.
I ask as a courtesy that you don't tag me in any critical reviews. To be transparent, reading those once the book is final will affect my motivation to continue writing, and I have a big list of things I want to write! I will be staying out of reader spaces and reviews to spare my feelings unless I am expressly invited in via a tag. However, you are welcome to post critical reviews, just without tagging me please.
Please don't upload your review copy on a pirate site (or anywhere else). I am enrolling my books in Kindle Unlimited, and if Amazon finds them listed anywhere else, it will jeopardise my account and potentially even get me banned.
About The Archer & The Flame
Release Date: 28th November 2024
When duty meets desire, which will prevail?
Willow Duskril is a determined scout, hunting down information to rise through the ranks of the secretive Night Ravens. Her latest mission, tracking down a hidden informant, is the chance she’s been waiting for. But success won’t come easily, and Willow will need every skill she’s trained in.
Only the strongest survive in the fae realm of Idrix, where bargains and trickery ensnare those brave enough to roam its lands, and Willow is no stranger to its treachery.
When a flirtatious stranger wanders into her camp with a bargain of his own, she is ready to attack first and ask questions later. With his effortless charm and powerful fire magic, Silas embodies everything Willow distrusts. But with her mission on the line and no one else to turn to, Willow has no choice but to join forces with him, despite her past experiences.
