The Marionettes Bonus Content Update🧛🏻‍♀️‼️

You can now find all existing bonus material for the series (about 54 pages total) on my website.

This content was previously exclusive to the back of each hardcover (and a bonus scene from my newsletter). In honor of coming up on the one-year anniversary of completing the series, I decided I wanted to make it more accessible. (Especially since Amazon is limited in which countries are even able to order hardcovers through them.)

You can find the bonus content here: www.katiewismer.com/product-page/the-marionettes-b…

So a small town tattoo artist walks into a coffee shop, and… This is not the set up for a joke, and this is not a drill. Tell Me It’s Right releases today!

I can’t wait to hear what you think of Gracie and Liam. If you’re reading on kindle, remember to highlight away! (I love seeing what quotes end up as the popular highlights haha). And if you post about the book anywhere, make sure to tag me @authorkatiewismer so I can come say hi!

What you can expect:

🌊 coastal small town vibes
🌊 slowburn tension and banter
🌊 brother’s best friend and boss/employee trope
🌊 romance-book-loving and anxious main character
🌊 broody, tattooed skater love interest with a secret heart of gold
🌊 complex family dynamics
🌊 some heavier themes and topics (trigger warnings can be found here: www.katiewismer.com/trigger-warnings)

If you’d like to see some early reviews, you can find some on goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/217592462-tell-me-it-s…

We are one week away from the release of Tell Me It’s Right! 🩵💛 I can’t believe it’s crept up so quickly.

Thank you so much everyone who has already participated in this release! I was a bit nervous diving back into contemporary romance after spending so long on the fantasy side, so I’m really grateful for all of the support.

If you’d like to pre-order your copy (I’d really appreciate it!), you can do so here:

ebook: amzn.to/4dwamRH
alt paperback: amzn.to/3yS4Bie
standard paperback: amzn.to/3XecI1R
signed copies: www.katiewismer.com/product-page/signed-tell-me-it…

If you’re interested in a signed copy, I’ll be closing down my shop shortly after release as I head off to Romantasy BookCon in Florida, so make sure to grab yours before then!

The blurb:

Moving into my brother’s basement after graduating college isn’t the end of the world.

But getting stuck working for his best friend just might be.

Aside from professionally getting under my skin, Liam Brooks owns the only tattoo studio in our perfect coastal town. He also happens to be the only person within a hundred-mile radius willing to employ me despite my shining resume.

The truth is, he needs me too.

So we make a truce for the summer: I save his shop from financial ruin, and he does everything I say so I can use his business as a case study to land my dream job. Then I’m getting out of this town and never looking back.

…Unless I find a reason to stay.

Tell Me It’s Right is a brother’s best friend romance. It’s book one in the steamy, small town romance Sweetspire series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the author recommends reading them in order for the best reading experience.


I'd love to know your thoughts!! Which cover is your favorite? 💛🌊
