🚀 Join the Technically Magic Launch Team

Be among the first to read it!

Technically Magic is my newest YA sci-fi thriller, releasing on Pi Day — March 14, 2026 🥧

What if your dad left behind nanotechnology powerful enough to turn you into a superhero…and nefarious military contractors wanted it back?

Before it goes live on Amazon, I’m inviting a select group of readers to join my Advance Reader Team.

What ARC Team Members Receive

âś” A free early digital copy (PDF or EPUB)
âś” Insider updates before launch
âś” My genuine appreciation

What I Ask In Return

If you enjoy the book, I ask for:

• An honest Amazon review during launch week (March 14–17, 2026)

Amazon does not allow reviews before release, so reviews can only be posted starting March 14.

That’s it.

No requirement for 5 stars. Just your honest thoughts.

Who This Book Is For

Readers who enjoy:

• Teen protagonists with sci-fi abilities
• Hidden technology and secret laboratories and nanobots
• Government conspiracies
• Clean YA sci-fi with emotional depth
• Stories where brains matter as much as bravery

If that sounds like your kind of story, I’d love to have you on the team.

How do launch week reviews help authors?

Launch week reviews make a massive difference for authors. They help new readers discover the book and determine whether it gets visibility in Amazon’s algorithm.

If you’re willing to read before release and post a review during launch week, I would be truly grateful.

Spots are limited so I can keep the team manageable.
