When You Are Really Bad at Marketing...
Jun 17, 2025 8:34 pm
Today I am fighting with marketing. Sigh. While I feel that I'm pretty good at writing (grab a free copy of From Ashes if you want to test this theory), I am painfully bad at marketing. Another sigh. Fortunately for both of us, I have hired a wonderful PA to help with my newsletters. I'll still be writing them, but she'll be giving you recommendations for other books and groups that are running promos. Halle-flibbing-luiah.
However, I did forget one promo, which you can find HERE. You can still sign up to get paperback books (U.S. entrants only) from these amazing women's fiction authors.
Can love grow…from ashes?
When volunteer firefighter Aiden Billings gets stuck with a flat tire in rural Kentucky, he’s not happy to have to drag his young daughter to a tire shop for the afternoon. But when the pretty receptionist glances his way, a sliver of his heart cracks open—something he hasn’t felt since his wife died five years earlier.
Nora Evans, however, has a past she’s not keen on sharing, and with good reason. She’s barely crested out of her life of drug use and abusive relationships, and is ready to heal. On her own.
Will the two of them be able to get past the grief that has crippled their hearts? Or will it all go up in flames?
Stacks of boxes tucked in the back of a closet. Pages yellowed by the passage of time. Some written only days and weeks before. One letter for every week, from the moment their love began.
It’s unlikely you knew him. He wasn’t looking to be memorialized. He didn’t ask for these to be published. He might even be shaking that head of wispy hair, wherever he is now, preferring that their discourse had remained private. But I’ll take my chances with their ghosts.
Why? Because the good ones are all around us. We fill our pages, real or digital, with the goings-on of the rich and famous. I’ve never understood that. I’ve never known if we’re meant to find meaning in all the partying, infidelity, and diva-like behaviour. There’s nothing particularly interesting to me in that, yet we’re drawn like moths to a flame. I’ll confess guilt for writing those kinds of stories myself, at my previous publication. Yet all the while, in our midst, are stories of wonder. Of kindness and courage. Vulnerability and hope.
In the gentle embrace of Goodrich's rolling farmlands, lifelong neighbors Greg Wells and Aggie Davis share a bond forged through years of friendship and blossomed into young love. With high school graduation on the horizon, Greg envisions a future rooted in the soil they both cherish. But Aggie’s restless spirit yearns to explore beyond the familiar fields.
When a family crisis calls Aggie to the city to care for her ailing grandmother, the couple is torn apart. Greg waits with hope in his heart, dreaming of the day Aggie returns to their shared rural paradise. But as Aggie adapts to the bustling city life and finds unexpected opportunities, she faces a choice that could alter the course of their lives forever.
In this heartwarming prequel to the beloved contemporary western romance series, Greg and Aggie must navigate the delicate balance between duty and desire, independence and togetherness. Will the pull of the farm and the promise of their love be enough to bring Aggie back home? Or will Greg sacrifice his own dreams to follow her into the unknown?
