Check out The Elysium Heist book review on the Jewish Book Council website!

They are absolutely correct - this book is accessible sci-fi. It does not lean on technical science but rather emotional complexity and romance!

Happy release day to my debut THE ELYSIUM HEIST!

FAQ:
- stand alone
- multi POV first person narration
-spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
-rep: bi, ace, lesbian, Jewish
- not a traditional heist, heavy on the romance

It’s a digital first release so your best price is the ebook (3.99) but there’s POD too! Links in bio.
Shiny gold floor and shiny silver wall. On the bottom left is a fanned deck of silver playing cards. On the bottom right is a set of charms in the shape of ace, spade, heart, and Diamond and a silver ring with an etched ace of hearts. Propped up against the wall is a copy of The Elysium Heist. Leaning against the book is a dice stick. Behind them stretched across the wall is a Diamond tiara.

I can’t have a regular launch day event (for numerous reasons) so I was hoping to do something a little different. Details in the alt text.

TLDR - I’d love if you post a pic of your book and the location it’s in. I’ll make a fun map and video from them. But tag me so I see it.
It’s a map with a copy of the Elysium Heist superimposed. For a whole host of reasons I can't have a traditional launch day event, but THE ELYSIUM HEIST is less than two months to publication and I'd love to celebrate with all of you by making a map of all the places this book has travelled - even if I can't be there myself. Since early readers are starting to (hopefully!) dive into their e-arcs, I was hoping some of you might be willing to put up pics of the books (on your e-reader) and state your general location along with either @ymresnik or #TheElysiumHeist so that I can find it. I'll add them all to my timeline as they roll in but for release day I'll be creating a video of all these photos along with a marked up map to share. Not big on posting? You could also message me. Anyone with a copy can participate! You can take your copy to multiple places! You could take pics of your friends copy if they let. It would mean so much to me.

I loved dressing in the five person heist crew of THE ELYSIUM HEIST according to their own personal styles for a night out. (See additional look in comments$

Which one most resonates with you?

I’d wear them all, but I’m an aspiring Kiyo with a heavy dose of unintentional Ilaria.
Which member of the heist crew are you? Fashion addition. Kiyo - classic, understated, expertly tailored. Psalome - the showstopper Ilaria - modesty with flair
