Happy April, Honeys!

March is over! Welcome Spring! We've survived unbelievable onslaughts left and right, but we're nobody's fool! Time for gratitude. Pause for a moment of thankfulness for every blessing you still get to enjoy each day. Remember not to sweat the small stuff or the stuff you have no control over. Do your best and leave the rest to whatever higher power you believe in.

This month's newsletter will feature three book recommendations and news on the KT front. Let's begin with the book recs first, since my news is a mixed bag.

If you enjoy stories about rockstars, divas, and a bit of mystery, you'll find something to love in this first choice.

Cynthia Ann's novel, Not Another Diva, combines a rockstar and a workplace romance for an emotional, sweet, and spicy read. If you love a story where the protector hero falls first, don't pass up this chance. One reader commented: "A sweet, sometimes spicy read is worth it! I loved every page!!"

Next up, two novels that share some of the tropes in my A Catered Affair.

Delaney Diamond's Bruno presents the challenges of involvement in workplace relationships. Dream A Little Dream by Sue Moorcroft is a slow-burn love story between two mature protagonists.

Finally, a plug for four of mine, three of them the books in the "Serendipity" series -- Back to Life, Back to Love, Back at Last-- and the last, my favorite of all my stories, A Catered Affair. This book holds a special place in my heart because it was the first book I published after my mother passed, and it was an important part of my therapy.

All these books are available on Amazon. Just click on the blue link in each title to find them, and happy reading.

Just a bit of housekeeping. You may have heard about Meta using 7.5 million books from a pirating website, the work of hundreds of thousands of authors, to train its AI. I am among that number. Back to Love by KT Bond and Orchestrated Love by AJ Buchanan are on the list of books that Mark Zuckerberg had his employees steal from a site that pirated them. I got no benefit from those books, and Zuckerberg has added insult to that injury by taking from them what is mine.

These are difficult times for writers of romance. We need faithful fans like you all to help us not only keep doing what we love but also take the word out to legitimate buyers. Thank you all so much for spending your coin or your time reading the ones in KU on my stories. I will not stop writing.

As I leave, I ask that if you haven't written a review for any of my books that you've read, consider doing so, please. And if there are any that you haven't read yet, either the ones highlighted in the newsletter or any others, please give them a try.

A Catered Affair will be off KU as of May 4. I've submitted it to Avon UK in the hopes they'll like it enough to republish it, either in e-book or paperback format. I can't have it in KU if they choose it, so grab it while you can. And wish me luck. Please, and thanks!

À bientôt,

KT
