Last chance...

Things are changing... This is your last chance to get the Found Series books 1-3 at $.99 AND to get the entire series from other retailers besides Amazon. Sunday night all the sale prices for books 1-3 of the Found Series will be going back to regular retail PLUS all four books will no longer be available at all retailers. I am going to put the whole Found Series into Amazon's Kindle Unlimited program, which is good news for KU customers, but not so good news for readers on other platforms. This is an experiment, and right now I plan to only have the series in the program for 90 days. Universal buy links for the entire Found Series

His entire life, Tommy Garrett has dealt with self-doubts. He thought he’d conquered the majority of them until a chance meeting with an author brought his illiteracy to the forefront...again. Growing up with un-diagnosed dyslexia has left Tommy barely able to read, but books are his Nirvana. Now he spends his life creating art dedicated to the love of those “untouchable” items. Robert McIntyre, Mac, is a best-selling, highly celebrated author. But his point of view has become a little bit too narrow...until Tommy opens his eyes. That chance meeting has changed everything about his world. He has no idea how to find the beautiful man he met, and offended, at the library book sale. But when he does, Tommy’s life is in crisis-mode. It’s the holidays and Mac can’t just standby when Tommy needs help, whether Tommy wants it or not. Two artistic men. One shared passion for books. Life is hard, and sometimes when conflict arises you have to write your own plot twist to pull yourself out of the fray.

All the news for this week PLUS a recommendation...

Are you hanging in there? I get it. Believe me, I get it. Things are scary right now, but we've got this. The one thing that keeps me going is knowing that we're all in this together. The future is uncertain, but it's that way for the entire world so I have to believe that it's going to be okay...for all of us. *positive thoughts* Honestly, there is no better time to escape into a book (seriously, I will use any excuse I can to do this...even when the world is normal...LOL). And that's why I'm coming to you today with a recommendation. I love books that offer me a few hours of happy escape and this one is a good one for that! My recommendation.... I've talked a lot about the Ticket To True Love titles (seriously, they're all so good!), but the one I'm featuring today is special because I was lucky enough to get to beta read this book for the author. AND it's one of my favorite tropes...second chance at love. SWOON! Jeremy and Darcy are a couple with a history. They were together  (as friends and lovers) in college until Darcy disappeared, leaving Jeremy heartbroken with no clue what had gone wrong. This book takes place several years later when Darcy shows up offering a business proposition to Jeremy that he really can't afford to turn down. The problem? He's still just as attracted to her as he ever was, but now he doesn't trust her. Seriously...it's so good. I think I may need a reread soon!

And all the news on my TTTL titles... I just finished drafting the final book in my Locating Love series that falls in the Ticket to True Love series. Quickly Falling in Qatar features an Air Force Intelligence officer and the FBI agent who left him for her job. There is some MAJOR unfinished business between them...like the fact that they're still in love. (I mentioned I like second chance love stories, right?) Also this book goes back to my romantic suspense roots with a disappearance that the two are having to investigate. Quickly Falling in Qatar will be out June 23. Preorder links aren't up yet, but I will let you know as soon as they are. But in the meantime, the other two books in the cousins series are available. I love these three books so much. I hope you'll give them a chance. They are simply light, happy reads that are perfect for these difficult days. Book #1, Amorous in Appleton, features a pop star hiding out in a small orchard in Pennsylvania, but she's about to be discovered. Book #2, Falling Hard in Frisco, features a couple of hot-for-one-another architects who are vying for the same job...they just don't realize it. Buy Amorous in Appleton Buy Falling Hard in Frisco And a quick reminder... Both this sale (on the first three titles) and the availability of this series on other retailers is only going to last until  ***March 29*** Then the books will go back to regular price on Amazon and will be pulled from the other retailers. Hopefully, it will only take a couple of weeks before they will then all go into Kindle Unlimited and be exclusive to Amazon. I know this isn't ideal for everyone, but money is tight for a lot of us right now and I'm trying to do what's best financially for me as an author and my readers. My plan is to put the series wide again in 90 days, but that isn't set in stone.  Universal retailer link to the whole FOUND SERIES

Let's BREATHE together...PLUS all the ***FOUND SERIES NEWS***

Breathe... I've chosen a new word a year for the last several years. Ironically, BREATHE was my word for 2020. Who knew I would need that reminder so much? Dang, this has been a year already, hasn't it? We're all doing everything we can to get through it, but if you're like me, you're probably still more than a little stressed. So, this is your reminder from me...JUST BREATHE. Relax. Nothing was ever solved by constant worry. In fact, that shit (worrying all the time) will just make everything worse. So, I'm here to remind of a few ways to find your inner Zen, peace, or to just remind you to chill and relax.  Breathe...take a few minutes, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths. It helps to just allow yourself to "be"...no stress. Meditate...This is something I've been doing for a few months now. Taking ten to fifteen minutes at the beginning or end of the day to relax does wonders for your mental health. (Note: I use the Calm app and love it.) Listen to Nature...one of the most relaxing, energizing things in this world is the sound of birds in the morning. Open your windows for a few moments and enjoy nature's gorgeous symphony (this also works at night with the night bugs, or taking a walk to where you can listen to the sound of rushing water...all good things OR there is a soundscapes section on the Calm app that has an amazing choice for different sounds) Escape into Music...there's a reason that spas choose the music that they do. It helps to relax you. Find something you can play in the background of your life (replace the sound of news in the background) that helps you feel soothed and relaxed (most the music streaming services have a spa station...you just have to find it...or something like that that makes you feel better). Create a Safe Zone...lighting is huge for a relaxed state. Turn off your bright overhead lights. Light your candles, put a fire in the fireplace, pull out your Christmas twinkle lights, create a softer, more relaxed ambience. Escape Reality...read (obviously, my choice) or binge watch something light and fun. Even my husband who prefers to live with the news on came home the other day and put on a romantic comedy movie for us to watch (Mr. Right for those wondering...it was cute even with its dark twist). Everyone hits their limit. Escape to keep your mental stability in place. Art...adult coloring books are a thing for a reason. It's fun to color. It's a mindless activity that you can do while listening to an audiobook. Personally, I escape into art by watercoloring stamped images. Other ideas are creating Zentangles (look it up if you don't know what they are)...all you need is a pen and paper. Easy, relaxing, fun. Write a Letter...we're all staying home more these days. Think about everyone else out there in the same boat, and send them a letter. This is a fun thing to do with your kids, too. Find penpals. Get the mailing address to your local retirement home. We can connect even while staying home and what's better than this old-style method of keeping touch without actual touch.  Shut Down the Stress...This is important...***turn off the news and social media***. It doesn't have to be permanent. Choose an hour a day and unplug. It doesn't take much, but will be huge for how you feel. and now for all the Found Series news... The last year hasn't been the best for my writing and me (there's a reason that BREATHE was my word of choice for 2020). As a result, book #4 in this series, FOUND AT THE ROCK CONCERT is coming out more than a year later than I'd planned. But I'm so happy with where this book is now. I hope you'll agree that it was worth the wait. But because it's been so long between the release of this book and the other 3 in the series, I'm changing things up in the release for this one. Plus I'd love for you to catch up with any books in the series you may have missed. FYI: Found at the Library (#1) is m/m. Found at the Bookstore (#2) is m/m. Found at the Jazz Club (#3) is m/f. Found at the Rock Concert (#4) is m/m/m. All four books can be read as standalones since they all feature their own individual couplings...BUT the same core group of characters flow from one book to another AND books 3 and 4 have overlapping scenes.   Warning...this is going to sound complicated, but I"ll try to break it down simply.   From now until March 29th: Books 1-3 will be on sale for $.99 each at all retailers. March 30th: ALL 4 books will be coming down from the other retailers so that I can put the whole series into Kindle Unlimited. Sometime in mid-April: (depending on how long it takes the books to come down at the other retailers) ALL 4 books will only be available through Kindle Unlimited and will be back at normal retail prices. Found at the Rock Concert releases  TODAY! (which coincidentally is the International Day of Happiness... It's fitting, right?) A wounded rock star, a bodyguard, and a CEO get trapped in a snowed-in cabin... It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it’s not. This is the start of an epic love story between three men. Three men who have a history twined together with encounters and impressions that have marked their years. They just never realized how all those brief encounters would eventually change their lives forever.
