More Freebies, Last Chance to get my books for 50% off, and Last Days of Kindle Fire Giveaway!

Hey all! As we say goodbye to 2024, let me share some final freebies with you!

I joined the FREE Romance With Black/Mixed Female Lead promo over on Bookfunnel. It's not a huge one, just a dozen titles in various subgenres. Go HERE to grab which ones catch your fancy!

Also, the Smashwords end of year sale ends on the first, so it's your last chance to get my books for 50% off. What's cool about Smashwords is that, like Bookfunnel, the books can be loaded onto ANY E-Reader.

Go HERE to grab some books!

Also, the Mistletoe Romance giveaway is about to end. So if you want a shot at a winning a Kindle Fire, go HERE!

I also have signed paperbacks and ebooks of almost all my works in my Kofi store. Some books are down to one or two available, so grab them while you can HERE!

Book News: If all goes right, I should have a big announcement either Mid January or early February. Also, my goal is to release TWO audiobooks in 2024. I'm probably going to have to take out a loan to get one of them done, but I'm also taking donations to my audiobook fund on Ko-Fi.

I'm also going to be starting Brides of Prophecy, Book 10 around mid-February. It's going to be a long one, like Reclaiming the Magic, but I hope to release it in the late summer.

Horror News:

My coming of age horror novel, The Graveyard Girls is about 3/4 done. I hope to have it ready for my agent in February. There's also some talk of another shared universe haunting anthology after House of Haunts was such a success!

Life News:

I just learned that my grandma on my dad's side has a lump on her lung that's probably cancer. I am not taking it well. My grandpa on my mom's side is also declining, which sucks. Also, Kent is leaving to Reno for a week to spend time with his dad, who's ailing as well. Usually I'd go with him, but I don't trust the car to get us there and back until I get more repairs done. Winter happened before I could do my front brakes. And I know I'm due for a new alternator and belt.

Enough of the glum stuff. I've been reading some excellent books, and next newsletter will include recs. I also made a ton of these almond-flavored cookies with my Grandma's cookie press that turned out amazing. And Kent made jelly and jam with the huckleberries we picked last summer. He is the best.

And our newest cat, Mischief has grown a lot, but she's still a silly handful!

I hope everyone has a fantastic New Year and that 2024 won't suck.

All my books are on deep discount, a note on thankfulness, and other news

It's that time of year again! Smashwords is having its end of year sale, and so all of my books are discounted by 50%!

And what's cool about Smashwords is that, like my Ko-Fi Store, the books are in a format that can be loaded onto ANY E-Reader. Go HERE to grab some books!

You'll also see that my rockstar Christmas novella, Metal and Mistletoe is currently FREE over there!

If paperbacks are more your thing for yourself, or for a Christmas present, Amazon has deeply discounted books 6-8 in my Brides of Prophecy series, so if you want to score some paperbacks for dirt cheap, go HERE! They even come in time for Christmas if you have Prime!

I also have signed paperbacks and ebooks of almost all my works in my Kofi store. Some books are down to one or two available, so grab them while you can HERE!

A Note on my Thankfulness:

Things have been tough for me on multiple fronts, and I just need to express my gratitude to so many people. My car battery died right when my finances have been bad, and one of you angels bought me a new one! I'd thought I could at least make it to Xmas with my jumper box, but nope. It died on the way to the auto parts store to pick up the new one. So if not for you, dear reader, my family could have been without a car.

Also, a kind reader donated to my audiobook fund. (All audiobook fund donations are set aside in a different account because I vow to only use those funds for what my kind donors are paying for.) And, as mentioned last newsletter I'm even in talks with an audio narrator who might be able to offer a payment plan. So speaking of, if you're interested in contributing to my audiobook fund, go HERE.

I also decided that it's past time for me to spill the beans on which books I'm getting rights back to my KoFi page. I'll probably drop that news next Friday.

Finally, when I was feeling despondent and down about my writing, so many of you came forward with such kind words and encouragement. I LITERALLY couldn't write these books without your support!

Horror News:

I'm about 70% done with my coming of age horror, The Graveyard Girls. I'm hoping to have the rough draft done early January, then have it polished up for my agent by February. I haven't dipped my toes into the traditional publishing world in over a decade, so I am nervous as hell!

Life News:

I'm getting the house prepped to host a big family Christmas dinner. My grandma pays for the ingredients, and then Kent and I do the cooking and serving. It's hectic, but since the loss of my cousin earlier this year, it's important for the family to be together as much as we can.

We are also NOT putting up a tree this year because our new cat, Mischief, hasn't grown out of being an absolute terror, and would decimate our tree, lol

It all works out in the end since we're going lowkey on presents due to budgetary concerns. I wouldn't wish sudden house AND car repairs at the same time on anyone!

Next newsletter, I'll show off my presents AND there's going to be another Stuff Your EReader event! SHHHHH! ;)

Until next time,

Virtual Hugs!
