The preorder bonus
Preorder one book. I’ll give you two.
Here’s the cheeky part. In the novel, Lola ghostwrites memoirs for dangerous men. In real life, memoir ghostwriting is my actual job — it runs a seven-figure business for me, and it has flown me around the world.
Years ago I wrote everything I know into a book: How to Write a Memoir — a ghostwriter’s secrets for turning your life into a bestseller. Then I never published it. It has been my private playbook ever since, and it has never seen the light of day.
Preorder Let Me Be Your Ghost (one copy, any format, any retailer) and I’ll send it to you. Not a sample chapter. The whole book. You get Lola’s story, and you get the real tradecraft she’d be using. Two books, one preorder.

About the novel
Every memoir is a confession
Ghostwriter Lola Whitman writes them for the FBI. For nine years she’s been planted in the lives of powerful men, turning their secrets into evidence. One more book, and Lola walks away free.
Then her last target finds her first. Ezekiel Crane — the world’s youngest billionaire, heir to a surveillance empire that watches everyone and answers to no one — appears in her dusty Arizona bookstore with a job offer: his memoir. He’s magnetic. He’s guarded. And he already knows things about Lola that no living person should.
Moving into his fog-wrapped California estate is the assignment. Wanting him is the problem. Between hand-ground espresso and two a.m. boxing lessons, between what he hides and what he hands her freely, Lola starts breaking the one rule that has kept her alive: never fall for the target.
The FBI wants Ezekiel Crane in handcuffs. Lola was sent to put him there. But what she’s starting to want is the one thing she can’t put on tape.
In a mansion with a thousand eyes, no one stays a ghost for long.
A slow-burn romantic thriller for readers of First Lie Wins and Verity.
“The most surveilled property in California had a blind spot, and I was living in it.”
— Lola Whitman, Let Me Be Your Ghost
About the author
Written by an actual ghostwriter
I’m Amy Suto — I ghostwrite memoirs for a living, and I’ve interviewed people caught up in actual government conspiracies. I am not allowed to tell you which ones. So I wrote a novel instead. This story started in my Hollywood years with a what-if I couldn’t shake: I sit in the homes of the very wealthy and hear everything — wouldn’t the FBI want this? It was serialized chapter by chapter on my Substack, Sutoscience, where the first four chapters are free.

Preorder bonus FAQ
How does the preorder bonus work?
Preorder the book anywhere, then upload your receipt on this page. It gets a quick automatic once-over, lands with me directly, and your bonuses go out by email — the ebook within minutes, the bigger perks activated by me personally within 2 business days.
Which retailers and formats count?
Any retailer counts — Amazon, Bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, your local indie. For a single copy, any format counts too: ebook, paperback, or hardcover. The 10-copy and 50-copy tiers are print runs only, so paperback or hardcover.
What exactly is How to Write a Memoir?
It is the book I wrote years ago and never released — a ghostwriter’s secrets for turning your life into a bestseller. Everything I use on real six-figure memoir projects, from finding the story of a life to structuring it like a page-turner. It has never been published anywhere, and preordering Let Me Be Your Ghost is the only way to read it.
Where can I preorder the book?
Every retailer is live now — Amazon in ebook and paperback, plus Bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, and Walmart. The book releases in November 2026. The claim form below already works, and the first four chapters are free to read on my Substack.
I read the serialized novel on Substack — why preorder the book?
The book is the full story, revised and polished, in one place you can hold. Preorders also tell every bookstore algorithm that this novel deserves attention on launch day, which is the biggest gift a reader can give an author. And you get a whole second book for it.
What happens to my receipt?
It goes straight to me and stays private. I use it to verify the preorder and for nothing else — it is never shared, sold, or posted anywhere. It is stored where only I can open it, and I delete the file 90 days after the book comes out.
Any other fine print?
One claim per receipt, and each receipt counts once. Anyone 18 or older can claim, anywhere the book is sold, unless the law where you live says otherwise. The bonuses have no cash value and can’t be transferred or swapped for anything else. The claim form stays open at least through the release month, and I will post any closing date here at least 30 days ahead. If I ever change or end the offer, claims already sent are honored as promised. If a receipt turns out to be a return, a duplicate, or not real, the bonuses that came with it can be withdrawn.
