Dear Charming ,

Thanks so much for signing up for my newsletter via BookSweeps' Romantic Comedy promotion in the last month. Sadly, you didn't win the Kindle or the bundle of books. Boo. But....

How about one free romantic comedy?

The book I released last week, Rhodes to Love, is free today and Wednesday (it's normally $3.99 USD), so check it out right now if you're interested in funny, steamy, swoony, single dad, fake marriage romance.

The first reviews are coming in and I'm delighted that readers are loving spending time with Adam, Lizzy, and Olivia. (Even on Goodreads, where reviewers are especially harsh, the book has over a 4.7 star rating!)

Can I make my emails to you special?

Several months ago I was cleaning up my contact list, removing the emails of people who never open my messages. (Rude!) As I scanned the list of names one jumped out at me—a contact who'd called herself 'Charming Natasha'.

As it happens, I know this Charming Natasha character in real life, so I asked, "What's up with the name?"

She told me that she'd read an article that suggested we should add a positive adjective in front of our name when we join mailing lists. The reason? Every time you open a message from that sender, you'll get a little hit of joy.

"Why, yes, I am charming. Thank you for noticing," you'll think, smiling to yourself.

Charming isn't a word I'd use to describe myself. And I don't think many of my friends would think of that one in their top five ways to describe me, either. It works for Natasha though! As would delightful, funny and smart.

For me? Well, sticking to the positive (because there are lots of snarky things one could call me!), words that I could see adding to my own greeting might be creative, quirky or upbeat.

What word would you love to be addressed by? What little description would give you a hit of 'feel good' when you opened your emails?

Dear delightful ... ?

Hello brilliant ... ?

Hey vivacious ... ?

What's your perfect word? Tell me how you love to be addressed, so that opening my messages will give you the warm and fuzzies.

love & Charmingstuff,

Danika
