I’ve got to be honest,
creating a street team was never on my list of things I thought I’d be doing as
an author, so I’ll be forever grateful to Victoria Scott, who led the way with
her VMafia. My street team would be a hot mess if it weren’t for her great
ideas. So, without further ado, here it is!
#TheCadre
The
Official Street Team for Joy N. Hensley, author of Rites of Passage
Why should you join the Rites
of Passage street team and become a member of #TheCadre? Because:
·
you’ll get first glimpses at works in progress, covers, and
book news!
·
you’ll be entered into special members-only drawings for swag
and other cool stuff!
·
you’ve got the potential of being a character in an upcoming
book (based on rank in #TheCadre)!
·
you get to meet lots of other people who love Sam, Drill,
Kelly, and the rest of the cadets at Denmark Military Academy!
Here’s the idea:
Complete tasks to gain
experience, get mission points, and climb the ranks of #TheCadre. The higher
your rank, the more cool things you get!
