Hello! And Happy Thanksgiving weekend! I just finished writing a newsletter for my author website and figured I should probably share some of the same info here, especially for my fellow readers. 🙂 I won’t keep you from your families and friends (or shopping) for long—only popping in here to let you know my ebooks are on sale from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, Nov 24-27, on all major US platforms—Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, and more. 🎉 If you’ve already read and enjoyed Tinsel in a Tangle or Tinsel in a Twist, and you know someone who loves a feel-good Christmas read during the holidays, consider gifting them an ebook—or at least spreading the news of a good sale. 😉
Update on my audio books: While you can currently find them on Amazon, Audible, and Apple, my audio books should be available within about two weeks on all other major audio platforms, including Spotify, Hoopla, Overdrive, Chirp, and about three dozen more (I’m still flummoxed as to how many options we have when listening to audio books!).
As of late, I’ve been enjoying sweet historical romance audio books (it could be the narrators’ British accents!), and thought I’d share some authors with you. I’m sure I’ve mentioned Jennie Goutet in the past—most of her audio books are on YouTube and she works with a stellar narrator, Stevie Zimmerman. I’ve enjoyed all but one of her novels. Then there’s Sally Britton, Sofi Laporte, and Mindy Burbidge Strunk—I’ve listened to many of their novels and there isn’t one I haven’t liked. That said, some authors are trying out AI narrators these days, but I have yet to get through more than a few minutes listening as a machine struggles to emulate the human range of emotion and inflection. So, if you stumble upon an AI-narrated audio book by any of the authors I listed (there might be a couple), I can’t vouch for those—just the ones with human narrators. 😉
Lastly, one of my author friends, Candice Yamnitz (check out her YA fantasy with a Latin twist, Unbetrothed) put together a booklist for those looking for wholesome reads for themselves or to give to the child or teen in their life this holiday season. Lots of fantastic titles in several different genres. You can check out the list here.
That’s all for now. My youngest turns seventeen this weekend (when did that happen?!), so I’m off to do more baking! 😄
