Hot New Releases and Sales #ReadaRegency
Somehow I missed posting here last week! It must have something to do with the excitement of my Hurricane Hilary preparations, as well as the “dog days of August”.
Actually, I managed to send a newsletter, plus I’ve been super busy with fine-tuning some upcoming releases, and promoting Under the Harvest Moon, a Bluestocking Belles Collection with Friends. Release day is October 10, 2023, and my fellow collection authors and I will be hosting a bunch of Facebook parties.
Follow my Facebook page to find out where we’ll be. There will be prizes! Plus: don’t forget our weekly giveaways. Please share for a chance to win more prizes.
