Howdy y'all!
I know, I know, it's not my usual day, OR week. But I have celebrations to share and I figured this needed sharing. They say it comes in threes... well, today I've got two sets of three for ya!
Did you know that on September 13th 2019 I published my first ever romance novel? No? Well, I did. That means, this week, my beloved first book-baby turned a whole year old. Obviously, I had to throw a party like the good book-mama I am. Three giveaways and three sales. A FREE book, a 99C book and a $2.99 book, plus a few of my favorite things, book money and paperback giveaways. This is a jam-packed newsletter full of opportunities to win some pretty cool prizes and snag a bargain on some of my books!
For those of you in the UK, my Few of my favorite things giveaway is LIVE right now, it'll be live until the 20th. The prize has got everything from my favorite jeweler to my fave local chocolate in here...
For the Americans, I have a book money giveaway for y'all to enter and to do so, go right here:
Also for the Americans on my list, I have a paperback giveaway running on Goodreads right now (their rules that it's US only), to enter that, go here:
To those of you neither in the UK or the US, I'll have to think of something not too heavy to mail to giveaway for y'all! International shipping is KILLER.
Now for the bargains:
For one week only, Intimate Strangers (book 1 in the Lisa Millar series) is FREE for Kindle.
Is there such a thing as too perfect? Lisa Millar wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a guy on the Internet. But she did. Other than living over five thousand miles away in America, AJ Williams is seemingly her perfect match. Strikingly handsome, musically talented, plays hockey and has a typical college-guy life. In a moment of carpe diem, Lisa flies from Ireland to Alabama to surprise her internet-beau and finds herself face to face with an inconceivable reality that she couldn’t possibly have prepared for.
How well can you truly know someone you meet online?
Will true love win out, or will AJ’s secret life be too much for Lisa to bear?
For one week only, Game Changer (book 1 in the AJ Williams series) is 99c for Kindle.
AJ Williams wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a girl on the internet. But he did.
Other than living over five thousand miles away in Northern Ireland, Lisa Millar is seemingly his perfect match. AJ can’t quite believe his luck, not only is she beautiful, but she has an appreciation for both music and hockey - two of his favorite things.
Surprised by Lisa turning up unannounced in Alabama, AJ is under pressure to deal with the issue at hand. Should he risk losing her, come clean and tell her the truth? Or should he try to keep his secret under wraps?
Will true love win out?
Or will AJ’s secret be too much for Lisa to bear?
You still have a few days to snag it before the 18th. If you already own both of these books, feel free to share on your socials, or pick up a few 99c copies for friends and family members you think might like my books.
That brings me to the $2.99 book. I know many of you have already one-click pre-ordered Jeremy, but I'm TWO copies away from my stretch goal and I'm going to keep going on about it until someone just caves to shut me up. I feel good about my marketing choices right now! LOL!
Four Letter Feelings (book 1 in the Jeremy Lewis series)
is available for a DISCOUNT pre-order of $2.99 for one more week!
Jeremy Lewis has just returned from a year in Europe, ready to start college in Alabama and pursue his dream career in the National Hockey League. Other than boring school work, he’s eager to play hockey, hang out with his new teammates and maybe even rekindle an old flame when Chelsea Davis unexpectedly reappears in his life.
Life is looking pretty darn peachy.
But when his life is turned upside down by a tragic loss, merely surviving each day feels like an achievement. How can he get through college and keep his budding career on track when all he wants to do is drink and squander his parent’s fortune? Can he convince Chelsea he’s a changed man when he seems so intent on his own destruction?
For the next couple weeks I am sharing a BUNCH of recommended reads in the section below as I really want to get the word out about Jeremy too. Let me know if you pick any of them up what your favorite is so I can send feedback to the authors and be sure to feature their books in my newsletter more frequently! <3
Next week is release day and I can't wait for y'all to get your hands on Jeremy's first book!!!
Until next time,

Kelly Mellios is a stunning, athletic woman, who has learned--the hard way--to value herself. Having just finished her first marathon in the alluring Greek town of Nafplio, she bumps into Alex, a gorgeous widower with three underage children, who is desperately looking for a housekeeper.

The house is haunted by Alex's late wife, who has unfinished business to tend to. By using the family pet, a quirky pug named Charlie, the ghost is able to communicate with Kelly and asks her for help. She claims she wants to ensure her loved ones are happy before she departs, but offers very little information about her plans.
Kelly freaks out at first, but gradually finds herself itching to help. It is evident there's room for improvement in this family... Plus, her growing attraction towards Alex is overpowering...
