Hi, I just learned that my award-winning novel, SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW, is on sale for $1.99 for e-book versions! This is great news because I also recently learned this novel was BANNED in a Florida school district and that just infuriates me. In a free country, nobody has the right to control what we're allowed to read. Get the Kindle version of SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW here! Get the Nook version of SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW here! I love book sales, don't you? *tingles* If you don't have an e-Reader, no problem. You can use your smartphone. Just download the preferred app, such as the Kindle app. I love having my books on my phone so I can read anywhere I happen to have some free time. Plus, no one can see what you're reading, if you're worried about being seen with a BANNED title. If you haven't read SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW yet, this is your chance. If you have, why not scoop up this special deal for a friend? Did you know you can send Kindle books as gifts? It's easy. All you need is your friend's email address. Amazon will send them a download link. But hurry! Deal ends on August 31st. "A beautifully crafted look at the complications of returning to 'regular life' after a devastating sexual assault. Fierce in its unapologetic dissection of rape culture, toxic masculinity, and athletic entitlement, Patty Blount does not hold her punches with respect to how difficult healing can be for an entire family. This book is thoughtful and thought-provoking, and ultimately very hopeful for survivors and those around them." -Christa Desir, author of FAULT LINE and BLEED LIKE ME This novel has a 4.26 rating on Goodreads. SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW Awards & Distinctions
Trigger Warning: This novel deals with intense issues including acquaintance rape, toxic masculinity and entitlement. I strongly suggest concerned parents read it WITH their young adults, especially boys, so they understand why rape culture is everyone's problem. To help, I've posted aids to help you on my website including a book trailer video, a discussion guide, and an educator's guide. You can also read an excerpt if you'd like. I also have a Pinterest Board similar to the one main character Ashley uses to post Before & After images in the novel. I encourage you to use this board to correct ads, headlines, and posts you see that illustrate the kind of misogyny we're trying to eliminate with stories like this. If you're a teacher or school librarian or have a book club reading this novel, contact me for a Zoom call. Please help me spread the word. Talk about the novel on your own social networks. Review it. Tweet the link. Help us tell the entire country HANDS OFF OUR BOOKS. If you're on TikTok, consider posting a video about SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW. |
