The Toy Shop's Secret Launch Team Update #1

LAUNCH TEAM UPDATE: 10/05/2025

DAYS REMAINING UNTIL LAUNCH: 41

Greetings all, and welcome to this first update for The Toy Shop’s Secret launch team.

Thank you to the launch team members who have responded to the invitation sent out on Friday. Your participation is appreciated. I could not do this without your support.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, a new launch date has been set: November 15th.

I sent out Launch Team invitations to previous and potential new members on October 3rd. If you want to be an advance reader copy (ARC) reader and join the launch team but haven’t received your invitation yet, please contact me.

If you haven’t responded to the invitation yet, please let me know whether you want to participate or not. A “no thank you” is perfectly fine. Not receiving a response makes me wonder if you received the email or if you just haven’t had the chance to reply.

Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you may have.

Thanks all and happy reading.

Don

      Hi, Lori. Thanks for reaching out. I have already asked you to do some heavy lifting as a beta reader, which I sincerely appreciate. So, I automatically consider you a member of the team in that capacity. I wouldn’t mind a kind review during launch week (November 15 through 21) if you are up for that or a mention on your social media channels, but for now thank you. You can relax and enjoy your travels. Thanks so much and safe journeys. Don
