Escaping into a good book sounds good right about now doesn’t it? Finding ourselves lost in the stories of heroes, star-cross lovers, the underdog discovering their power, and villains getting what they deserve. If only reality was as stable as the tales in our books. I won’t bring up politics in this space, you can see what I believe on my social media platforms or read this Substack post. Just know my heart is breaking for my readers who are affected by cruel policies.
Now, if you need recommendations for a book to escape in, here are two lists that I recommend: MM Romance or LGBTQA+ Romance. Click on the links to see newly released books in those genres, including my new book Faithless & Found that I published under a different pen name. Also my Fallen Angel series is on special for the month of February on Kobo.
And just a reminder that my books can be purchased directly from me at my online shop Feather and Flower Books. This is a great option if you don’t want to buy from Amazon. I also sell ebooks direct at a discount as well at Grumraod. This is a great option if you like ebooks, but worried about digital content staying on your devices.
And don’t forget to claim your free copy of Iron Blood the audiobook. There are a limited number of audio book codes that I can give out. Make sure to claim your code today, and when you are done please leave a review. Good in the US and UK.
New writing project
I am starting a new project. I talked about it back in November’s newsletter. It will be based on a true story about Dutch missionaries in Japan and their experience of leaving the country just before Pearl Harbor and their new life in America and finding themselves living next to the largest interment camp. Their frustrations and their determination to help those in the camps is a story that not only (rather unfortunately) is fitting for this day, but I hope will lend some courage. It will be a story of quite heroes who refuse to back down even when they are made to feel in the wrong. This will be a YA novel and I will be sharing my progress on my social media platforms and here. I hope you join me on this journey.
New YouTube project
Another project I am taking on is making a YouTube series on reading comprehension and critical thinking for adults. It’s not the best production, but I heard the cry from multiple places for someone to fill that role, so I am. To start this series, I am using simple children’s poems and then we will move on to harder material and practice critical thinking. You could subscribe to my channel I would appreciate it. It’s not much, but I am trying. It maybe where I’ll end up if TikTok gets banned for real this time.
