FAQ

Wait, what? A Circus of Ink is being published?

Yes!

In case you missed it, an all new version of A Circus of Ink is now available in paperback, ebook, and in Kindle Unlimited! You can find it by following the link in my bio, or searching on Amazon. You can read it for free in Kindle Unlimited.

Is it different to the versions posted on Wattpad/ Radish?

Yes!

I've been working very hard to make this story the best it can be. It's had a much needed overhaul. It has completely new scenes, re-written chapters, better character / world development, the lore is a bit different, we get more time with Elle and Jay, it's had input from a professional editor, and it's generally better written. I'm so happy with how it's turned out, and I've loved working on this book again. I'd missed Elle and Jay so much!

I'm posting the first seven chapters here so you can get a sneak peek of the published book!

Does this mean we'll get a book 2?

Yes!

I'm starting work on that now, and hoping to publish it this year. Make sure you're following me on Instagram for updates and sneak peeks (@LaurenPalphreyman).

Where can I buy A Circus of Ink?

For the paperback: Amazon. I'm also hoping to get it onto Book Depository in the next few weeks.

For the ebook: Amazon Kindle, Kindle Unlimited

How can we help with the launch?

As some of you know, I recently made the transition from traditional publishing (working with big publishers) to indie publishing (working personally with editors and designers etc. and publishing books myself). This allows me to publish faster, and it gives me greater control over the end product. But it can be hard to reach new readers without the boost of a big publishing house.

If you'd like to help out with the launch, there are a couple of really simple things you can do that make a WORLD of difference :)

> Social media:

I'll be promoting the book on social media for the next few days. Any retweets, re-posts, 'likes', and comments are really appreciated. They help me to get the book out there, and help boost my posts in the social media algorithms! And if you get a copy of A Circus of Ink and fancy sharing a pic of that, please tag me! I'll repost from my channels!

I'm @LaurenPalphreyman on Instagram, and LEPalphreyman on Twitter and Facebook. Links are all in my bio!

> Ratings/reviews:

If you get a copy and enjoy it, leaving a rating/review on Amazon/Goodreads is SO HELPFUL for authors! Even just marking it as 'want to read' on Goodreads helps a lot as it makes the book more visible! 

Blurb:

We are bound by ink. He is supposed to kill me.

In a world where stories are forbidden, Elle has a dangerous power: Creation. That's why tattooed soldier Jay is sent by the gods to kill her.

But when Elle is faced with the monster sent to deliver her Ending, she catches the glimmer of curiosity in his eyes—an emotion so unusual in his kind. Convinced having a ruthless killer on her side will help her avenge her father and destroy the gods, she makes the decision not to run. And it changes everything.

Soon, the two enemies are forced to seek refuge at the Circus at the Edge of the World, where forbidden passions start to grow. But both are keeping dark secrets. Their deaths have been written by the Creators. And the foretold End is coming.

When all are bound to the story created by the gods, can Elle and Jay rewrite the deadly fate intended for them and the world?

A dark epic adult fantasy romance for fans of forbidden romance, dystopia, and magic. A Circus of Ink is book one in the Ink duology.

I have so much love for this story, and I hope you love it as much as I do. 

For anyone coming from one of my other works, a word of warning: A Circus of Ink is a dark adult fantasy romance - emphasis on dark and adult. It's tonally very different to some of my lighter works. If you're interested in learning more, feel free to have a read through the sample!

For anyone who read the draft version of A Circus of Ink either while I was writing it on Wattpad, or afterwards on Wattpad/Radish, thank you so much for your support. It kept me going and it gave me the confidence to go back to it over a year later, give it a much needed edit, and get it ready for publishing!

So thank you! xxxx

I hope you enjoy this story. Let me know if you get a copy!

Any questions? Let me know!

love,

Lauren
