#booksky!! It's release day!! Readers can find Gabi and Graham in Berrysburg AND on KU now, so everyone can get in on the Monster Vacation too!! 🐙💦
A very thrilled author celebrating their new book release by holding the book up to the lens and peering over the top excitedly. the graphic is emphasized with tentacles in the shape of a heart. Center Heading: dip your toe into all this monster vacation has to offer
Subheading one: available on KU
[with the link] books2read.com/tentacledif
subheading two: bonus content on Patreon [with the link] Patreon.com/lanakoleauthor
subheading three: signed paperbacks [with the link] lanakoleauthor.bigcartel.com 
All of subheading text is on the left side of the graphic, which has a purple and blue and pink ombre background. The book cover, which is a purple man whose lower body is made up of tentacles lovingly embracing an emerald-green haired woman behind the title Tentacles Difficulties, is emphasized with a splash element.

If you know me you know as soon as there’s a deadline my brain absolutely shuts off. It’s why I like to have the doc w the editor before I decide on a release date. If you know me you also know my swiss cheese brain often forgets to, oh, idk, tell readers when the book is coming out 😅

ARCS May 2-3; Buy Direct May 16-30; Amazon and KU May 30

Painting and rearranging my office will fix me this time, I swear it. (Featuring Cerre)
The midst of a writer with the audacity to paint and rearrange their room with a team of 5 (1 person, 4 cats). One of the said cats is a void perched on a shelf in front of a window while the rest of the room is in chaos. Yes that is a Halloween pillow. In March. No wait it’s April.
