Arts and Thefts ARC Tour

Last night I dreamed that my brother was Captain America and I was a regular person faking superpowers (long story). People kept skulking on our lawn all night, and I had to go out and fight them. I spent the second half of the dream trying to convince my brother that he should do the fighting because he's the one with the super-soldier serum.

Apparently (according to my coworker) I have entertaining dreams. Just thought I'd share the latest with you.

Anyway, on to the news. I don't have a lot to share this week; work is keeping me busy and I'm also working on a new project, though it's too early to share much about that one. If you want a hint, though, see the above passage about my bonkers dream.

But I want to now start something I've wanted to do for a while: an ARC tour of my second book, Arts and Thefts.


What does this mean? Well, I have two Advanced Reader Copies of this book that I am willing to send out into the world. If you're game, I'll send you a copy to read before the book comes out in February. You can be a literary hipster! Or, if you read and liked the first book (some of you exist, right?), you'll be able to read the next one ahead of schedule. In return, I ask you to review the book on Goodreads and then, in February, copy that review onto Amazon.

It would be helpful to me, if you request the ARC, if you gave it a positive review, but I do want you to be honest. I wouldn't ask you to lie, obviously. But I would appreciate some positive publicity out there before the book comes out, if you can help me with that.

So, how would this work? If you would like to take part in the ARC tour, email me at allisonkhymas@gmail.com and request an ARC. Send me an address to mail it to. I'll send you an ARC, and then, when you're done, you'll send it to the next person. Email me again when you've finished and I'll give you the name of the next person to send it to, and we'll keep it going until we're done or February comes!

I'm a little scared and excited to start this. I hope some of you decide to take part in this! It would help me out, and I hope it would be some fun for you.

Tara Goedjen - The Breathless (10/10)

  1. My daughter handed me your first book tonight (after I had assumed she was asleep!) and said it was so great could she please go online and contact the author. Being the good mother that I am I sent her back to bed and said I would look you up. Then she came back out 10 minutes later and excitedly pointed out the author graduated from BYU (her future school of choice)! I sent her back to bed (without the book) and got online to contact you :) My daughter is 10, in sixth grade, and has a Youtube channel where she reviews books. She was hoping to do a skit of your book, or facetime you about your book for an interview. Now that I see you have a second coming, are you still giving out any advanced copies?
    Here is a link to her channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yCYZfNqYTKfPxbxe2GwAA?view_as=subscriber

    Her email is bookswithbrooke@gmail.com
    Thank you
