Dear Readers,

Happy Halloween to you, and happy 65th birthday to me! I'm so excited to be the age I've lived to see, and I can't wait for whatever comes next! And no, I've never been shy about sharing my age. Why should I be coy about it? It's something to be proud of! Speaking of which, congratulations to Helen Teck, my #1 fan! She got my age right and I gave her two new paperbacks--not my work, as she already has all of them!-- so I could introduce her to new authors.

And on the subject of gifts, I've decided to give you all a gift on my birthday. I'll put all my self-published books in Kindle Unlimited for the next 90 days to give you the chance to read them all. Happy reading! Please wait until November 1 to try, although 3 of them are already in KU...His Christmas Love, Ties That Bind, and The Surrogate, the first 3 books from the Twelfth Day of Christmas Romance series.

The 4th book in the series--Five Golden Rings--is in pre-order for ONLY $1.99. The price will go up once the novel comes out on January 5, so don't delay. Get your copy today! I'm currently working on including more of Jake's story, since in the original form, when it was called A Very Pregnant Christmas, it was mostly Kate's story.

In other news, I'll be starting a Kindle Vella story in January. I just need to make sure that most of it is done, so all I'll have to do is upload it once or twice a week. If you're a KV reader, which do you prefer...once or twice per week? I won't be able to do more than that. Please reply to this email and let me know. Thank you!

Before I close this issue, I just want to share a few of the things I've been doing in the last ten days to celebrate completing my 65th year of life. I've enjoyed doing a 10-day countdown on TikTok -- @AuthorKT. Please click on the link and join me there to see all the silliness I get up to from time to time. I'm still learning how to work on this site, but who says I can't have fun in the meantime?

In these next few photos, you'll see the yacht club on the Hudson River where we took our friends before we went to dinner and a concert at Bard College. You'll also see me playing with filters on TikTok, one of which thought I'd look better as a guy. LOL! Enjoy!

The concert was wonderful, with the incomparable Lisa Fischer, backup singer for such greats as Tina Turner and Sting, giving us a rousing performance to round out the evening. And she turns 65 on December 1 this year!

Finally, don't forget that the next newsletter will go out on December 1, and once per month thereafter, unless there is something special that I need to share with you before. Now, I'm off to bed, as my older daughter and her husband are taking me to lunch later today. Have a lovely Halloween, y'all!

À bientôt,

KT
