It’s that time of year again!
First up is the Smashwords End-of-Year Sale.
All my titles are 50% off. Except for the free ones. Because 50% off of free is still … free. (I make this joke every year; every year, no one laughs.)
Over at Kobo, The Pansy Paradox is part of the Best Indie Books of 2025 sale. It’s buy one, get one, and available in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
It’s release day for The Pansy Paradox!
You can buy the novel almost anywhere. You can read for free with a Kobo Plus subscription. Or request it from your local library (in eBook or print).
It’s also release day for The Capstone Conundrum, also known as that time when Henry almost met Pansy.
It’s free for my newsletter subscribers as well. But it’s also on sale everywhere, since I know a lot of people don’t want another newsletter in their lives.
If you’re on the fence about The Pansy Paradox, you can always download the extended preview.
If you decide to read, I so hope you enjoy Pansy, Henry, and their adventures.
Quick news! The Pansy Paradox has not one, but two giveaways happening right now:
And if you haven’t grabbed it yet, don’t miss the extended novella-length preview. You can download it here.
No, seriously. How is it almost October? I don’t understand. Granted, I’ve been heads down, wrapping up everything for the release of The Pansy Paradox in two weeks. Two weeks! Again, how did that happen?
This week, I attended a book release/launch deep-dive sponsored by Becca Syme and The Better-Faster Academy. One thing I learned is that the number of “touchpoints” required to make a sale has increased from seven to twenty-one. (And a quick search tells me it could be even more, depending.)
Y’all, I feel like I’m annoying people if I mention a release more than once.
On the other hand, I don’t mind hearing news about releases from authors. In fact, I’m always happy to discover a new release.
The other takeaway was to experiment, learn, and do things that sound like fun (or are relatively easy), and don’t sweat it.
So that’s what I’m going to do.
Also, what I’m going to do, at least today, is get out of the house and away from screens. It’s gorgeous out (see the photo above), and I’m not sure how many more days like this are left in 2025.
On a whim, I submitted Must Love Ghosts for a Chirp Freebie Friday deal. To my surprise, they selected it.
So, for the next four days, you can get Must Love Ghosts over on Chirp for free. Plus, the following two books, The Ghost That Got Away and Nothing but the Ghosts, are $2.99!
I’m not going to lie. I love the audio version of Coffee & Ghosts. Narrator Amy McFadden is superb. She somehow hijacked my mind and made the characters sound the way they do in my head. I still don’t understand how she did that. Anyway, if you’re interested, you can get a great deal for the next four days.
Hey, everyone. I have a book (Must Love Ghosts) in this promo, narrated by the incomparable Amy McFadden.
If you’re looking for something to listen to during a trip this spring or need a binge-listen for some spring cleaning (my favorite, not the cleaning so much as the listening), then check out the books listed in this Science Fiction and Fantasy promotion.
One caveat: Audible prices may not be under $10. Unfortunately, the author doesn’t control the retail price there. Essentially, you suggest a price, Audible looks at it, laughs, and then sets its own.
So many authors! So many books! All free!
If you need something new to read, this is where you should go.
Smashwords has kindly included Straying from the Path as part of their Once Upon a Time promotion.
If you’re in a fairy tale sort of mood, head on over between now and February 4th.
Need something to read for this Ides of March? Go visit the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book Fair and pick up a new title or two.
Do you ever buy books from the Smashwords store? If so, head on over for their Read an Ebook Week Sale.
My entire catalog is 50% off. (Well, except for the books that are already free, since 50% of free is … free).
