Today I have fun book news to share with you! Well, bookish stuff, anyway.
First:
FREE Books Promo!
FREE Clean & Sweet Fantasy Romance
These are full novels, novellas, and some short stories all for free! Most of the authors are asking for you to sign up for their newsletters, but I am not. You can get both The Beauty Thief and The Treasonous with no obligation.
The good thing with the rest is that you can unsubscribe at any time if you find you’re not interested. There are some fantastic offerings in this promo, though!
I have recommended a couple of them either here or elsewhere, like Entwined by J. M. Archer. I also loved the short story, “The Way of the Wielder” by Jen Booth! Definitely go grab those!
I follow Mary Mecham online and am so looking forward to reading her stories, like A Curse of Gold and Beauty.
Really, I have already downloaded a good portion of these. It’d be fun for us to both read them and have conversations about the stories! 😀

LIST of Books to Request @ Your Library
The Google Doc with the list of books is fantastic and has all the info on each book including synopsis and reading levels related to things like romance/action/violence/language.
And last, but not least:
The hand-painted edges for the upcoming giveaway are done!
I have decided to run the giveaway in August because my excitement levels are just too high to wait any longer than that!
I’ll only be doing this giveaway for US residents, over 18 who are signed up for my LIFE IN THE WRITING LANE newsletter at Substack.
IF you live in an authorized country outside the US and wouldn’t mind paying at least half the shipping, I am willing to send them abroad, so let me know if that’s you, just in case!
That’ll be in August, my friends!
