I have met some great Lutheran authors in the last five years or so, one of whom is Vanessa Rasanen. I recently read a pre-release copy of her first novel, Soldier On (Releasing Fall 2018), and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyway, she is currently offering an opportunity to apply for her “Forever Launch Team.”

A forever launch team sounds like a really clever idea! I’ll copy what she sent me below. Consider joining and consider letting me know what you think about the idea in the comment section. 🙂 Especially considering Vanessa has a series planned out . . .

Free Books… for Life!

What a great time it is to be a book lover, right? So many books releasing all the time, just waiting to be discovered and loved and shared. Social media has made it possible to connect — genuinely!! — with our favorite authors! Which is a thrill for both reader and author alike, by the way. Word of mouth has always been, and will likely always be, one of the best ways to get our work shared with future fans. And this is where you come in! Book launches rely on the support of a great team of readers and reviewers. We write for our readers — otherwise, we would just write in a diary and keep it under the mattress, right? Right. If you’d like to help spread the word about my books and share my stories with others, I’d love to have you on my forever launch team. This isn’t just for one book–but all future books, as well. That’s not a typo. Joining my team gets you all of my books for free… for life… before they are released to the public. In addition, you’ll get access to a private Facebook group where we can talk about the books in greater detail. You’ll get even more behind the scenes access into the stories, the characters, my writing process, and more. If you would like to join (and I hope you do), please apply here. Note, if you are already on my Soldier On Launch Team, there is no need to apply again.
