Happy Thanksgiving! (To those of you in the US)

It's hard to believe we are at the end of November already. I've been so focused on the Christmas festivities at our family zoo/wildlife sanctuary that Thanksgiving snuck up on me this year.

Here's a snapshot into my life. It's of Goliath (the Tiger) checking out our zookeepers as they decorate for the holiday. (I have more photos at the end of this email.)

I'm just dropping a quick little note to update you on a few things about my books. First, the "Earth's Only Hope" Complete Series / Box Set is "Live" on Amazon as of yesterday.

For those of you who enjoy sci fi with a bit of romance and action/adventure, I hope you give this set a chance. It was one of the most fun series for me to write.

The set is available in Kindle Unlimited (which for you subscribers, this is a nice feature as it only "costs" you one download because all the books are bundled.) For those of you not in the Kindle Unlimited program, the box set is priced at $9.99 which is about a 40% savings off off purchasing each individual book.

This box set features these FOUR full-length novels:

• Connecting (Prequel)
• Departing (Book 1)
• Surviving (Book 2)
• Returning (Book 3)

Blurb for Book 1 (Departing) (Yeah, kinda creepy that I wrote about a virus BEFORE corona virus hit us, but oh well.)

I thought dying in prison was my only option…

…then I was given a choice.

I can either board an alien spaceship with 400 fellow criminals or rot in prison on a freezing Earth.

The spacecraft's captain, a handsome alien who looks remarkably human, has been visiting me in my dreams for over a year. He has given me the companionship I need during my time locked up in solitary confinement, and the way he holds me in my mind makes me forget the Earth is on the brink of extinction.

But was that nothing but my imagination? The alien in question doesn’t seem to know anything about the hours we spent together.

Humanity will be wiped out soon, and despite all of this, if I get on that ship, I have a chance at surviving.

And I’m a survivor.

Only a deadly disease is spreading among the aliens and has already killed the majority of their population. It appears to be a virus, but as the aliens continue dying despite all precautions, I begin to wonder if the disease is something else.

How do I keep the man I’ve fallen in love with safe? (Even if he has no idea who I am?)

And if he dies, along with the rest of his alien race, how will us humans navigate the unfamiliar solar systems in a spaceship we don’t know how to operate?

But if the disease spreads to the humans on board, none of this will even matter.

Since I can't link the Amazon store directly anymore (I'm still not sure why, but I'm on probation or something with my newsletter provider) you can find all the links for this series on my webpage here: www.joynellschultz.com/eoh

And then...the other thing I've been up to regarding books...

Which isn't writing, unfortunately. I'm still on my mental holiday from being creative.

BUT, I have been working hard on publishing my books outside of Amazon. Here's an update on the status of each of my series.

Angels of Sojourn Series: This entire series is now available on Apple, Kobo, Nook, and other platforms, in addition to Amazon. Find links here: www.joynellschultz.com/angels I believe Broken & Burnt is FREE on some of the platforms (Kobo, Nook, Apple, etc.) until December 1st. I'm sorry if it's not free on your preferred one. (i.e. Amazon.)

Quarter Witch Chronicles: I'm in the process of pulling this series out of Kindle Unlimited, so if you haven't had a chance to download it yet, now is the time. I believe you can still get 3 of the 4 books through Kindle Unlimited. Otherwise, it'll go live on other platforms in December. Learn more here: www.joynellschultz.com/dragon

Dream Droids: Still in Kindle Unlimited. Won't be going "Wide" until 2021. Link to learn more: www.joynellschultz.com/dreamdroids

Superhero Wives/Married to a Superhero: Both books are "Wide" on Google, Apple, Nook, Kobo, etc. Links here: www.joynellschultz.com/superherowives

Tales of the Fairy Godmothers: Both books are "Wide." "Trapped" should be FREE on Apple, B&N, Nook, and a few other platforms. (Just not Amazon at this time.) Links here: www.joynellschultz.com/fairygodmothers

Paranormal Bed & Breakfast Mysteries: Staying in Kindle Unlimited/Amazon exclusive for a bit longer. I will release a box set sometime in 2021. Links: www.joynellschultz.com/pnbb

Love, Lies & Clones: Has gone "Wide." Links: www.joynellschultz.com/llc

The Mail-Order Witch: Will be publishing outside the box sets the series is currently in on Amazon in January 2021. This series will publish on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited first, then "wide" about 3 months later. Links to the currently available anthologies: http://www.joynellschultz.com/books

If I miss you all in December, Happy Holidays! Here's a few more photos of us decorating at our family zoo/wildlife sanctuary to get you in the spirit. :-) Goliath and Ginger couldn't help but checking out what the heck we were doing.

Take care,

--Joy

P.S. I'm in another promotion this month. Once again, I have to put the links up on my webpage and not link directly in this email. This is a whole collection of witch cozy mysteries, all available through Kindle Unlimited.
