Every couple of weeks, JL Collins Publishing puts a new book into the world. Thrillers. Romantasy. Cozy mysteries with something cold breathing on the back of your neck. Love stories about women over forty who are not finished yet.
And every one of those books lives or dies in its first week.
Here is the honest version
When a book goes live, the thing that decides whether readers ever find it is not the cover, or the blurb, or how good the writing is. It is whether a handful of real people showed up on day one and said what they thought of it.
That is what a launch team does. Not marketing. Not cheerleading. Just readers who got there first and were willing to say something honest about it.
What you get
The book free, about three weeks before release. Sent straight to you, no cost, no catch.
First look at what is coming. You will know about new books before they are announced anywhere else.
Bonus scenes and extras that never go out publicly.
What we ask
One honest review on release day, wherever you buy books.
That is it. And please read that word honest literally. If a book does not work for you, say so. A launch team full of five-star reviews from people who did not mean it is worth nothing, to readers or to us. Your real opinion is the entire point.
You are also never obligated to read a particular book. If one is not your thing, skip it. Nobody is keeping score.
Pick your team
Five authors publish under this roof, and they write very different books. Choose the one you actually want to read.
Jessie Clark - mystery, thriller and suspense. Detectives, cold cases, and one woman who remembers everything.
Jennie Wren Foster - romantasy and romance. Big worlds, big feelings, warm hearts.
Kira Deveraux - spicy romantasy and dark romance. Corporate power plays and dragons, and not always separately. Adult readers.
Clara Langford - romance for women over forty. Small towns, second chances, grown-up love.
Lori Collins - non-fiction. Real estate, retirement, caregiving, and organizing a life that will not sit still.
Start with one. You can always add another later, and plenty of people read across two or three.
