A Bit of April Fun with Touches of Austen

This month, my book promotions were scheduled to focus on my Touches of Austen series. 

[IYKYK but if you don’t know… Touches of Austen stories are original, sweet (kisses-only) Regency romances that deliberately nod to various Austen novels.]

In other words, my free read at Patreon, my downloads for paid Patreon subscribers, and the $0.99 deal book were all supposed to be Touches of Austen books. 

And they are. 

But…

Things are kind of unsettled (shall we say) in our world at present. 

The cost of living is marching ever upward at a steady and rather rapid pace. 

It’s tax season here in Canada. 

And it keeps raining, then, snowing, then, being warm, and then cold. Followed by a shuffle and repeat.

So, I thought perhaps right now, as April is starting, would be a grand time to inject a little fun and a few book savings. 

I only decided this yesterday. 🙂 (Yes, it was raining. Again. And gas prices had just gone up. Again. LOL) 

Here’s what I did: 

  • First, I marked down the $0.99* book – Her Secret Beau – for the month. (*That’s $0.99 USD, GBP, CAD, EUR, NZD, AUD, with all other currencies also reduced)
  • Then, I got the downloads of that book and His Beautiful Bea organized and scheduled at Patreon. (Today, I made His Beautiful Bea free for all Patreon members (paid and free) to read this month.)
  • Next, I went to all the vendor platforms and reduced the prices on all the other books in the Touches of Austen series. They will be $1 off**  for the month. (**That means every book except Her Secret Beau, is $1.99 GBP; $2.99 USD, EUR; $3.99 CAD, AUD, NZD, with all other currencies also reduced.)
Go to Current Book Promotions Page to find links
  • And finally, I decided to have some fun, so I created a wordsearch using words from my Touches of Austen series and added a page where you can download it (or access it online) to my website so I could share it with you all. 

And now, I am sharing all that with you. 🙂 

When the world went into lockdown a few years ago due to a certain virus, I reduced the prices of my books for several months (maybe a year?). I wanted to do something similar now since things are just as uncertain, if not more so. 

But this time, I plan to do it month by month matching it up with my series highlight plans for as long as things are as they are or until I just can’t do it anymore. And, this time, I wanted to add some fun things along with the price reductions (hence, the wordsearch). 

Hopefully, this will provide a little bit of lightness in a somewhat cloudy time. And maybe, it’ll just become a lovely monthly tradition.

Enjoy!

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).
