Read an Ebook Week

Published 5 days ago • 1 min read

Happy Read an Ebook Week!

I should probably more on the ball with all this stuff, but better late than never right?

Which is why you're receiving this mid-week newsletter to say that all my ebooks are discounted over at Smashwords until 7 March! I set everything at 50% off, which means that if the original price was $0.99, it's currently free.

Clicking the link will take you directly to my profile so you don't have to search for them, but there's a whole bunch of other ebooks on sale that you can grab too!

Writing update

We're done with the first round of edits on Jasmine and the Perfect Brew (aka the Tea Novel) so I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for the second round. We don't have an exact release date yet, but it's tentatively September this year! (In SIX months?!)

I've also finished writing Kayangan, and am struggling to title this thing. I'm currently down to two choices:

1) The Voice of Kayangan

2) A Diversion of Destiny

Let me know which one piques your interest!

I hope you're having a great March - and that it'll get even better with more ebooks in your reader!
