This month, I’ve discounted three of my audiobook series starters. If you’re new to audio, here’s a great chance to dive in!
Until June 30, The Wolf & the Witch, narrated by Tim Campbell, is discounted to $4.99US at select retailers and in my online store.
The Wolf & the Witch is book one of the Blood Brothers series of medieval Scottish romances. The series is in Kindle Unlimited so the ebooks are available exclusively at Amazon until the beginning of July.
There’s also a sale in my store: if you buy The Wolf & the Witch in audio directly from me, you can save on The Hunter & the Heiress in audio from my store, too. Click on through and put The Wolf & the Witch in your cart, then look for the additional offer on The Hunter & the Heiress.
This month, I’m participating in a multi-author audiobook promotion that runs at the end of the month. Three of my audiobooks will go on sale at select retailers in the middle of the month – I’ll tell you when the prices change there – but they’re discounted in my online store NOW.
Audiobooks that you buy in my online store are delivered by BookFunnel and will be stored in your BookFunnel library forever.
When you buy one (or all) of these series starters in audio in my online store, you can save on the other audiobooks in the series.
This is book one of my Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval Scottish romances. The entire series has been narrated by Saskia Maarleveld in audio.
When you buy The Beauty Bride in audio in my online store, you can save 40% on the other audiobooks in the series. Once you’ve bought the audiobook, I’ll email you a discount coupon.
The audiobook for The Renegade’s Heart, also narrated by Saskia Maarleveld, is discounted to $3.99 US in my online store. When you buy it, I’ll send you a discount coupon to save 40% on the other three audiobooks in the True Love Brides series.
The audiobook for The Wolf & the Witch, narrated by Tim Campbell, is discounted to $4.99 US in my online store. When you buy it, I’ll send you a coupon to save 40% on the audiobook for The Hunter & the Heiress.
When you look at the audiobook in the store, it displays the full price. Put it in your cart, then look at your cart – hey, presto! It’s been discounted. Here’s a screenshot of my cart with all three audiobooks.
The store also discounts by percentages or dollar amounts, instead of letting me set a fixed price in every currency. (There may be a way to do that which I haven’t found yet.) So, the price might be off by a penny or two. The $CA price, for example, on The Beauty Bride is $4.00 instead of $3.99.
It’s May 1 and (as promised) I’m switching up my sale books. Each month, i’ll feature a different series starter. For May, the featured title is The Crusader’s Bride, on sale this month for just 99cents – in both ebook and audio.
For this sale, you have your choice of ebook or audiobook. (Note that I can’t change the price at Audible, so the audiobook isn’t on sale at that portal.)
There will be a discount for my Knights & Rogues newsletter subscribers on the complete series bundle offered in this month’s newsletter, just FYI. That goes out May 8 so there’s still time to sign up.
Gaston battled for duty and honor—until Ysmaine tempted him to fight for her love…
When the Templar knight Gaston unexpectedly inherits his family estate, he knows he needs a wife and heir. A marriage of convenience to a widow in need of assistance is a practical solution and the newly-wed pair leave Jerusalem, entrusted with the delivery of a package for the Templars. Away from the life he has known for years, Gaston quickly realizes that little is following his plan—especially his mysterious wife, whose presence awakens an unexpected fire…
Twice widowed, Ysmaine doubts she will ever wed again, let alone have a marriage of merit—until she is charmed by the gruff knight intent upon defending her. Ysmaine weds again, not only by her own choice but to a warrior whose honor she admires. She is determined to show Gaston that marriage has more to offer them both than an heir, but first she must win the trust of the wary man she has impulsively wed…
Neither realize that Gaston has been entrusted with the treasure of the Templars—much less that someone in their small party is intent upon claiming the prize at any cost. In a company of strangers with secrets, can Gaston dare to trust his new bride? Can Ysmaine convince Gaston to confide what he knows? Can they solve the riddle together before the villain’s plan comes to fruition and all is lost?
This week, one of the companies I use to distribute my audiobooks changed their terms. The new terms are not attractive, nor are they negotiable. As a result, I’ve unpublished my audiobooks from that distributor.
The changes will likely take some time to percolate through the distribution channels, but you can expect my audiobooks to vanish from portals other than Audible, Apple, Amazon, GooglePlay and KOBO. The links will change for Apple and GooglePlay. You can also, of course, buy them directly from me in my online store.
I’ll be removing the other buy links from my websites.
It is not unlikely that there will be another distributor pop up to fill the void, as there are many authors and audiobook producers unhappy with this change. If and when that happens and my audiobooks have wider distribution, I’ll let you know. 🙂
I revisited the pricing on my audiobooks this week and have lowered the prices on the older editions, including The Rogue, The Jewels of Kinfairlie, The True Love Brides, andThe Champions of St. Euphemia. The full-length audiobooks have gone from $14.99US to $9.99US and the library pricing has dropped too. I can’t control the prices at Amazon and Audible, but they’ll change elsewhere. (Maybe Amazon will match the prices. I’m not sure as audio is different.) The prices have already changed at KOBO and will perk through to other portals over the next few weeks.
My audiobooks are also available at Spotify now and I’ve added those links to the landing pages here on the website (as well as in Books2Read). Spotify isn’t available in all geos (not in Canada, but definitely US and UK.), so the link will just go 404 if they’re not in your geo.
I’d like to get some reviews on Spotify for my audiobooks, so will be giving away some redemption codes in my March Knights & Rogues newsletter. Keep an eye out for that if you’re an audiobook fan!
If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter yet, you can do that right here.
