William Morrow Launches Innovative Pre-Order Campaign for New Digital Novella By New York Times Bestselling Author Molly McAdams

Publisher and Author Urge Readers to Pre–Order the Book They Begged McAdams to Write: With Velocity, Book May Release Two Weeks Early! Bestselling New Adult author Molly McAdams is partnering with publisher William Morrow and sister imprint Avon Impulse (which releases digital–first publications) and launching an exciting new pre–order campaign! After the stunning success of McAdams' breakout New Adult novel, TAKING CHANCES, fans were clamoring for more. In response, Molly wrote her forthcoming e–original novella, "Stealing Harper." This heart–wrenching story is TAKING CHANCES told from Chase Grayson's point of view—incredible twist and all! And now, fans can take the reins: by participating in the innovative pre–order campaign, fans can push the scheduled release date of "Stealing Harper" forward by two weeks. Author Molly McAdams confirms: "Yes! We will release 'Stealing Harper' two weeks early if Morrow reaches the pre–order goal!" Readers who have clamored for Chase's side of the story have the power to get their New Adult fix before the scheduled on–sale date. William Morrow has a special 'thermometer' app online that charts the progress of the campaign; and if the temperature rises to the boiling point, Molly's publisher will release the e–book on May 21st (rather than June 4th)! Readers should be sure to order by the deadline of May 12^th. Molly herself is thrilled by this opportunity to give her fans what they've been craving: "‘Stealing Harper' was written for my fans, because they fell hard and fast for Chase, and were demanding more of him. I couldn't have agreed more, and Chase's story started flowing from my fingertips. My readers are the best any author could ask for, and I can't wait to give them his story—and I'm excited that they can help get his story out two weeks early by pre–ordering 'Stealing Harper!'" Reactions to "Stealing Harper" have been explosive; blogger Yara, of influential NA site Once Upon a Twilight said "You weren't kidding when you said real tear jerker. This is thefirst book ever to actually make me cry real tears." New Adult makes for engrossing, dramatic reads, and none more so than Molly McAdams—with literary fare as addictive as hers, it's no wonder that readers are clamoring for an earlier release date on "Stealing Harper." Fans can easily keep track of pre–order progress on the Avon Impulse Facebook tab; the higher the level on the thermometer rises, the closer we all get to an early–release!
