The Accused Launches and Giveaway

April 24, 2025 By Cara Putman

A week ago my latest book The Accused released. It’s been a wonderful week of people reaching out and spreading the word to their circles. If you are in the group, thank you so much for buying and reviewing The Accused!
Those early reviews make all the difference in the world as do those pre-orders and early purchases. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of my tribe and helping me spread the word.

It has made such a difference to see your posts on social media and read the early reviews. I’m sharing just a couple here. If you haven’t bought it yet, doing so this week will make a difference for me. Thank you!
And if you haven’t posted a review yet, doing so makes such a big difference in discoverability. Amazon cares when we reach fifty and one hundred reviews. Those numbers are magical for authors and books. The Vanished is currently at eight-two and The Accused is at fifty-three now! Think of it as telling someone in the car with you why you think they would love the book. Even two or three sentences telling why you liked a book matters. This graphic does such a nice job of showing what can make a difference on Amazon (and other places) for a review to make an impact.
If you haven’t ordered your copy, I encourage you to do so! Thank you so much for all the ways you support my writing. The early reviews have been so good – you have no idea how encouraging that is!
Below you will find the form to enter the giveaway for a copy of The Accused and bookish goodies. Good luck! Thank you again for celebrating with me!
