Today’s the day for the Romance Book Blast, a multi-author promotion featuring lots of free reads. This is a great chance to find a new author or a new series to love.
There are over 950 titles included this time, so you should find lots of new reads. You’ll find Just One Fake Date on the first page for Steamy Contemporary Romance and The Crusader’s Bride in Historical Romance.
The Crusader’s Bride may not be free at Amazon in your geo, but you can get your copy free from my online store.
This month, I’ve decided to stop sending my email newsletters. That includes Dragons & Angels for my PNR, Heroes & Happy Endings for my contemporary romances and Knights & Rogues for my historical romances. October will be my last month to send newsletters, so if you subscribe to Knights & Rogues, you’ll get one more newsletter from me.
This wasn’t an easy decision, but open rates have been plummeting and clicks are dropping, too. The newsletter has ceased to be an effective way to reach readers, probably because we all get so many emails. I know I delete batches of them unread every morning.
This means a couple of things. First, if you want to remain informed about my books and news, you’ll have to do that another way. 🙂 You can follow my blog here on the site, or you can follow me at other social media.
The blog no longer posts automatically to my Facebook page, so that page is pretty quiet these days. I’m cutting back on Facebook as well, though am quite liking Instagram these days. (Find me on Instagram right here.) More about that tomorrow. I’ve also signed up for Gander, though I’m still finding my way around there. You can, of course, also follow me at Amazon or BookBub for new release alerts.
For sales and other news, you’ll have to follow the blog. It will be the one source for updates and news.
This also means that I won’t be participating in multi-author promotions like Stuff your e-Reader events anymore, as authors have to have a newsletter in order to do so. I figure I’ve sent enough free books out into the world that way to do me, at least for now.
For the month of September, The Last Highlander, a standalone time travel romance, is discounted to just 99 pennies.
Scotland, 1314—After the Scots reclaim Edinburgh Castle, Alasdair MacAuley only wants to celebrate. But the revels are interrupted by an old crone who claims the castle’s true owner is the legendary witch Morgaine le Fee. Dared by his fellow warriors to go meet the witch, Alasdair heads down a flight of stairs—and tumbles right into another century…
Scotland, 1998—American Morgan Lafayette is in Scotland to enjoy the history, not to ogle men in kilts. So when she stumbles upon a brawny man in a kilt, she is less than enthralled. She is certain he’s drunk for he claims Morgan is a powerful sorceress who has brought him to her magical kingdom! Despite her reluctance, she is intensely drawn to this handsome Highlander and the mystery surrounding him, a mystery that has the power to alter history—and her heart—forever…
“Long after the last word, you will bask in the afterglow of this fascinating story.”

“The Last Highlander is a tremendous time travel tale that stars two wondrous lead protagonists. The brisk story line will grab onto readers from page one and not let go until the story is complete.”

Since 2016, I’ve been publishing a reader guide as a free download. This little volume is thick with links. There are links to product pages as well as links to other content on my site that you might have missed—an out-take scene, family trees to download, audio samples, and swag. There are also suggestions for reading order, beyond the series order.
I change the cover each year when it’s updated so you know which version you have. The newest one for 2026 is purple, as at left.
Retailers all have different procedures for making updated content available to customers. At KOBO, GooglePlay and Apple, the updates are pushed out automatically. At Nook, I understand you need to archive the book, wait a couple of days, then download it again. Amazon never seems to push out updates when I need them to.
As a result, this year’s guide is a new product at Amazon. You’ll have to download it again, even if you had it before. If it isn’t free at Amazon in your geo, you can get the Amazon version in my online store. You’ll have the guide with Amazon book links.
I have changed my distribution to Apple, so the book will be a new product there, but the one in the store won’t have Apple book links. The links will point to my website instead. If you would like a version with Apple book links, it’s available free in my online store.
Of course, the generic version, with book links to my websites, is also available in my online store.
