Original thread: paradevo.proboards.com/thread/3815/unconventional-novel-progress

My novel, UnConventional, is finally nearing its publication date! I am so excited about this and I owe so much to Ruth, Vicky, and Jane W in particular on the board, along with Mike for helping make this possible .

Santiago Durán walks straight out of Di Monroe’s dreams–crutches and all–into her heart. There’s only one problem: she’s already married.

You can't preorder yet, but you can get a glimpse of the cover art on my blog:

Publisher website:

I have an old excerpt up but I'll post here as soon as I have an updated one, as well as when you can place your orders .



UPDATE (10/06/14): You can read an excerpt here: chiealeman.com/unconventional-excerpt/

Thanks! They asked me to come up with one... I'm glad you like it . I've been really happy with how supportive the publisher has been about the devotee/disability aspect of the book, even hinting at it on the cover.

I have a look at your book's site basically every other day to see whether you have published a new excerpt from the book!
Been eagerly waiting for this book since you published the first chapter on your website!

Thanks!! I'm glad you're looking forward to it ! Unfortunately, due to my contract, I can't publish any other excerpts . However, I will post the current chapter one as soon as it's ready (and you'll also be able to read an excerpt on the publisher's website).

Eight days until UnConventional is out! To celebrate, I've posted a current excerpt of the first ~3200 words or so. Enjoy!

*BTW, if you enjoy the excerpt, I'd love if you could share it on your FB/twitter/whatever other social media you feel appropriate!

(And if you tweet at me @chiealeman I will follow you back!)

Technically UnC releases tomorrow, but it looks like my publisher has already made it available for purchase from their website, along with a PDF preview of the first three chapters (Ch 3 starts to get devvy).

Check it out and I'll post other links when they're available. If you read and enjoy the book, please post reviews and tell your friends, share it on social media, etc., as that would really help me out! I'll be posting an official release day post on my blog tomorrow, but wanted to let you guys know you can read the preview if you're interested right now!
