It’s a map with a copy of the Elysium Heist superimposed. For a whole host of reasons I can't have a traditional launch day event, but THE ELYSIUM HEIST is less than two months to publication and I'd love to celebrate with all of you by making a map of all the places this book has travelled - even if I can't be there myself. Since early readers are starting to (hopefully!) dive into their e-arcs, I was hoping some of you might be willing to put up pics of the books (on your e-reader) and state your general location along with either @ymresnik or #TheElysiumHeist so that I can find it. I'll add them all to my timeline as they roll in but for release day I'll be creating a video of all these photos along with a marked up map to share. Not big on posting? You could also message me. Anyone with a copy can participate! You can take your copy to multiple places! You could take pics of your friends copy if they let. It would mean so much to me.
