Hello New ARC Readers,

First, of all, you've probably received a very odd email from me before this one. I have no idea what went wrong with the coding on that, and I'm sorry for the confusion. The coding seems to be working on this email, thank goodness, so it's actually coherent and not a mountain of gibberish. Thank you to Judy for making the nonsense known to me!

Now, here is what the nonsense should have been:

If you're receiving this email, then you've heard from Wolf Publishing that in order to receive ARCs from me from now on, you'll go straight to the source--me!

I'm so excited to have everyone on board and honored you want to read more of my books and help spread the word about them.

I run things rather informally. If I send an ARC and you don't want to read it, don't! Not every book is for every reader. You don't have to tell me or explain. Just read (or don't read) what brings you joy.

I usually send out ARCs through book funnel certified mail 2 weeks to 1 month before publication. And I try to send out an email at the beginning of every year with a publishing timeline so you know what to expect from me. You also don't have to send me links to reviews. We're all adults here, and I trust you that if you say you're going to post reviews to various sites you will.

With all that being said, I have an ARC for you! As it's close to publication, I'm not asking for it to be read and reviewed by publication. It's my welcome present to you!

Just click here to read Jealous Rakes and June Mistakes, book 6 in The Rake Review: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/uprgziyfo7

And here's what you can expect the rest of 2026:

August--The Duchess Curse (book 3 of my historical romantasy series, Alchemy of Desire (if you'd like an ARC of the first in the series, let me know!)

October--A multi-author novella anthology project (historical romance)

December--A Cavendish Family book (still fussing over the title, and if you want an ARC of book 1 of the Cavendish Family series, let me know!)

Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Happy reading,

Charlie Lane
