Take: a troubled & lonely rock guitarist at the peak of fame.
Add: a shy & inexperienced university student realizing her family & friends' uptight values don't fit her & maybe never did.
Mix with: a series of PR stunts orchestrated by people with ulterior motives.

A semi-transparent image of a fair-skinned man with a pierced lip and eyeliner is overlaid on a pale glitter backdrop. In the foreground, a hardcover edition of Rock Star's Heart by Kella Campbell is displayed underneath the quote “Are you already somebody’s princess, then, or are you looking for a sinner to turn saint?” In the bottom left corner it says "contemporary romance" and in the bottom right corner is the Tied Star Books logo.

🧵Out Now! Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand

It's officially live!
Today's the launch day for Tiny Moments of Joy and we couldn't be happier to share the news with you.
You can get your copy here:

www.swashbucklerpress.com/tiny-moments...

(1)
The first image is the cover of Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand. It's a deep pink colour with a white and orange serif font. There is a border of pale ferns and the vibe is of calm and chill, maybe invoking the desire for a cosy chair and a cup of your favourite beverage... and hopefully ca The second image is of the inside of a book, propped open at the middle by a ceramic red loveheart and a bunch of stones that were found on a beach in Golden Bay a few months ago. I knew they'd come in handy. Rocks are the best souvenirs. The book's interior is white paper with black writing, centred with a vignette per page. Looking at this picture, you now know that this is not an illustrated book, the words draw the pictures, but you get the impression that you will not need pictures because you will enjoy these words very much.

A gorgeous bit of the walking track. The beach is just beyond and to the left.
You're looking at the view taken from a walking track through a pine plantation. In the background you can see some snow capped mountains and a big blue sky. Those mountains would have you believing that they've put in that effort to look that snowy all winter and now that it's spring, they're just having a last hurrah. That's a lie. This is the first snow we've really seen on them all year and I'm choosing to believe they're only doing it to show off to the tourists just beginning to show up now it's spring. The trees either side of the walking track are a crisp green pine and given how blue the sky overhead is, you can imagine the sun is causing everything to have a delicious dry pine smell. And while you can't see it, if you were on this track you would hear crashing waves from the sea just beyond the trees to the right and up ahead. Standing here, you could almost believe that there isn't a small brown woodhen sneaking on your heels. It knows you have some tasty snacks in your backpack and it will track you until you finally sit down and eat them. Then, when you least expect it will steal some. (It totally did.)

Thanks to everyone who supported Hornytown Chutzpah on its first pre-sale day and to all the writers who've come out for my novella.

Gonna share some love! (1/6)

Pretty new Bookfunnel landing page for Rock Star's Heart because I needed one for a group promo! As always, Kobo gets some extra love at the top because RSH can be read in Kobo Plus, and did you know signed print copies are available from Shelf Love in Atlanta?

i'm going to keep making adult art and so should you. humans have been recreating sacred glimpses of sucking and fucking ever since we had enough hand dexterity to hold tools, and these rat kings of capitalism are at best a few centuries old. don't be scared, art and our humanity will outlive them

This is so awesome! Eliza Reid is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. I love that she got to be on the Kobo podcast!

The world is full of horrors, but we can still answer Kobo questions. Today: how long does Kobo support its ereaders? And by support I mean, how long do they get the updates, security patches, and bug fixes they need to keep working? Short answer: a really long time. More about elder Kobos below…
Kobo eReaders from 2010 to 2020, collectively the "Elder Kobos".

I love this mug for reminding me that I’m kind of amazing when I don’t feel it. If you’re having self-doubts or impostor syndrome today, this mug is for you as well — you’re amazing too!

The Voltz are once again the bridesmaid this week, but summer starts tomorrow and there is still hope for them having the song of the Summer. Caro answers her own Mr. Teenage Dream with the new Street-tough Doll. And, The Peppermint Kicks have a sweet return with Radio Wam Bam Boom.

Watership Down. I can't remember how old I was, but definitely too young to be reading about violent death for bunnies.

Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?

A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

ROCK STAR'S HEART is just 99¢ until Sunday (April 13th).

An ordinary university student stumbles into an unexpected job on tour with a wildly successful rock band and falls hard for the guitarist.

It might be your favorite of the series if you like sweeter heroines and more damaged heroes.
A tablet displays the ebook cover for Rock Star's Heart by Kella Campbell on a watercolor pink to cream gradient background. Text says "Fall in love with Smidge" in black at the top, then lower down it says "first in series" over a pink candy heart with "99 cent sale" in white lettering.

I'm not sure how much Venn diagram overlap there is between Redditors and Kobo Plus subscribers — circles barely touching, solid overlap, or practically one circle, I have no idea — but just in case this describes you, did you know that there's now an r/KoboPlus subreddit? #KoboPlus #Reddit
