Giveaway and post about 18 thoughts
18 Thoughts Launch & Giveaway!
Greetings, fellow book nerds! I’m YA author Jamie Ayres, and I’m sooo excited to
announce that 18 Thoughts, the final book in the My So-Called Afterlife trilogy, is
finally available from Curiosity Quills Press! Toss the virtual confetti, because it’s been
three years in the making (and virtual confetti is a lot less messier).
If you haven't heard of this series yet, here's the cliffnotes summary of each book:
18 Things: Olga Gay Worontzoff struggles to live again after a lightning strike kills the
best friend she was secretly in love with. Her therapist suggests she write a life list of
eighteen things to complete the year of her eighteenth birthday, sending her and her
friends, including the new hottie in town, on an unexpected journey they’ll never
forget. But there’s more to Olga’s quests than meets the eye and when her therapist
reveals a terrifying secret, her world is shaken.
18 Truths: With the lessons the 18 Things life list taught her engraved on her heart,
Olga spends her summer in the Underworld and embarks on a new adventure as a spirit
guide, but nothing prepares her for the chilling truths she’s learning along the way.
18 Thoughts: Olga Gay Worontzoff left the Underworld anxious to return to normal,
but fate had other plans; now she’s caught in a world that’s a mix of familiar and
supernatural, torn between past and present.
