Cool, huh? Now, here’s what you have to do for a chance to be one of the superfans:

Superfans are going to be broken into 2 categories, each with 10 members. One category will be for Superfans of my Christian Fiction and one category will be for Superfans of my General Fiction. All superfans are expected to talk about my books with family, friends, or coworkers and help spread the word. (Many of you are doing that already!) Below are the requirements for entering your name for consideration as a superfan. You have until midnight EST on New Year’s Eve to submit your name for consideration.

Christian Fiction Superfans – You must have read all 4 Psalm 23 Mysteries, all 4 Sweet Seasons novels, and the first 2 Kiss novels.

General Fiction Superfans – You must have read all 5 Wicked books, all 3 Crusade books, the first Wolf Springs Chronicles book, and the first Witch Hunt book

Those who wish to enter their name for megafan status also have until midnight EST on New Year’s Eve to do so. You must have read all of the books listed above for both categories of superfans PLUS all 3 of my retold fairy tales.
