Why Buy Direct
Three reasons to order direct from Thrive Collective Publishing
Our books are available on Amazon. But when you order direct from us, you get three things Amazon will not give you.
1. Signed by the author
Every paperback and hardcover ordered directly from Thrive Collective Publishing is signed by the author before it ships. K.B. Cordova signs every copy of The Mother I Did Not Know. Kimberly Burk Cordova signs every leadership and business title. Eliza Hawthorne signs every Shadows of the Past book. Liam Cruz signs every Young Legends Collection title. No exceptions.
Amazon copies are not signed.
2. The Reader's Companion
Series titles include a digital Reader's Companion delivered to your inbox after purchase. For The Mother I Did Not Know, the Companion includes the character family tree, a Santa Fe and Abiquiú map, author notes on the case-files form used in the book, and the first chapter of Book Two as a preview.
Companions are direct-order exclusives.
3. Numbered first edition status
Each direct-order copy of a first print run is hand-numbered. There is one print run for each launch. Numbered copies will not be reprinted.
First editions are direct-order exclusives.
Plus, you support an independent publisher
We are a small independent publishing house in Santa Fe, New Mexico. When you order direct, more of your dollar reaches the author and the press. We use the difference to publish the books we believe in.
The Mother I Did Not Know
K.B. Cordova's debut psychological literary suspense novel. Ships August 31, 2026.
