Haggard House Launches
Available Today for Purchase
Dear Reader,
I’m thrilled to share with you, that today marks the publication of Haggard House. It’s been a journey five and a half years in the making, and I’m so grateful to have spent the past year of that with you here on Substack, running the novel as a serial.
If you’d like to purchase the book (and it does have new 3 chapters never released on Substack!), below are a few places you can find it. It’s also available through most online book retailers, including several in Australia and England, so please feel free to search using “Haggard House Elisabeth Rhoads,” at your favorite online retailer, and you will likely be able to find it.
Amazon: Available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover (hardcover image still loading, but it’s the same as the other formats).
Barnes & Noble: Available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover (hardcover image still loading, but it’s the same as the other formats).
Bookshop.org: Available in paperback.
And as I mentioned, it’s available through many more (Apple Books, Kobo, Indigo, etc.). A few bookstores are also stocking the novel, including Schuler Books in Michigan.
An audiobook is forthcoming in August. More information to follow!
Haggard House Media Oppportunities
Along with the book launch, I’ve had some very fun media opportunities for the novel, which I’ve listed below with links!

Campaign for the American Reader: Page 69 Test
I had a lot of fun doing the "Page 69 Test" on Campaign for the American Reader. The test is to read page 69 of your novel and and see if it is representative of your book as a whole.
According to Marshal Zeringue, of Campaign for the American Reader, the test is "attributed to Marshall McLuhan, the guru of The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962), who recommended that book browsers turn to page 69 of any book and read it. If they like that page, buy and read the book."

Thank you again for sharing this journey with me. On Thursday, I’ll be sharing the details for the Haggard House Launch Party, taking place here in Orange County, California.
