Audiobook Updates: A New Release, A New YT Video, and A Series on 11Reader

July 31, 2026

I’ve just got a few short announcements for you today.

Audiobook cover for Discovering Mr. Darcy

Discovering Mr. Darcy, the audio edition, has been available for a while now as a free (with ads) listen on YouTube and as a download (via the BookFunnel app) when you become a Patron. 

But today marks its official release to all the other places where you can find my audiobooks. So, if you are an Everand, Kobo, Nook, or Spotify listener, you can find the audiobook at all those places. It should also be available now or soon to library catalogues. 

Introductory prices are listed at half off until the end of August. That means your library could pick it up for $9.99 instead of $19.99, and on Kobo, it can be purchased for $4.99 instead of $9.99. (USD, but other currencies are also reduced at this time) 

Find links to all the places on the Audiobook page on my website by clicking here. 

AND ON YOUTUBE…

I have begun sharing Not an Heiress as a By-the-Chapter audiobook. You can find the video for the prologue below.

And on ElevenReader, I have finished uploading all the Touches of Austen books, bringing the total number of titles on there to sixty-one! I plan to start adding my Sweet Possibilities and Extras stories to ElevenReader next week. And when that series is done, all my books will be on that platform, and that accessibility project will be complete. Yay! 

You can find me on ElevenReader at this link. 

That’s it. 

Just a few Audiobook updates. 

Have a great weekend.

Today’s the day for FREE JAFF books!

I hope your clicking finger is ready!  Because it’s JAFF Bonanza Day!!

Today, you can visit this link and find nearly four dozen JAFF titles that are FREE to download. There are moderns and historicals, steamy and sweet, Pride and Prejudice Variations and maybe stories inspired by other Austen books. Hopefully, there will be several that will intrigue and delight you. 

One thing to note if you are not in the US: 

If you click a link and it takes you to the Amazon.com store, you may see a message telling you that the book is currently not available. 

Go to the address bar, and change that .com to dot whatever your store is. For me, it is .ca. 

Check the price (because, for me, sometimes a book that is free in the .com store is not in the .ca store – which is excessively frustrating and not always the fault of the author. So please don’t yell at us. 🙂 Amazon is known to change prices at times). 

Then, click download, and enjoy. 

HERE’S THAT LINK ONE MORE TIME.

Happy Reading!

PS. Remember to thank the authors with a review or rating if you enjoy their books. 😉 And please share this event with all your reading friends.


Watch this space — There’s a JAFF Bonanza on its way!(Details below)

Next Wednesday, July 1, you will see a post in your inbox or notifications about a large giveaway of JAFF books. But today, I’m letting you know about one of the books that will be included with the other 40 or so next week.

That book is my book, Mary: To Protect Her Heart (Other Pens, book 3).

I’m letting you know about my freebie early because I’m what we call a “wide” author, meaning I am not exclusive to Kindle Unlimited/Amazon. I make my books available widely — at a number of stores and in non-exclusive subscription programs like Kobo Plus and Everand.

Because I’m not a Kindle Unlimited author, I don’t have access to the handy tools to create free days or countdown deals. Amazon reserves that for their exclusive authors. So, for me to get my book listed as free, I need to make it free on all the other stores and then petition Amazon to price match it on their stores. Sometimes, that takes a bit of time to work through the process, and that means I need to start early to make sure it’s done on time.

Today, my book was price matched! Yay! It should now be free on Amazon as well as Kobo, Nook, Apple, Smashwords, etc.

And you can get it early. Just click the graphic below and you’ll find a list of all the places where you can get this book.

Please be sure to check the price before you click buy just in case. Sometimes retailers (Amazon in particular) might revert the price to regular price.

And on more thing…

If you click through to Amazon.com — you shouldn’t, the link I have here should redirect you to the right region, but if it by some chance happens — and you’re not in the US, the page will tell you that the eBook is not available for purchase. Just change the .com to whatever the extension is for you in your country (for me it would be .ca), and that should fix it.

Have a great last weekend of June! I’ll be back with the link to find more JAFF freebies (40 of them!) next Wednesday.

Are you a Kobo reader?

If so, you’ll want to know about this!

Kobo is running a Buy One, Get One Free romance event until February 28 in the US, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. 

Two of my books got selected to be part of it, so I didn’t want you to miss out on this chance to add them to your Kobo library.

You can find the promotion page on Kobo at this link: https://bit.ly/KoboBogo You may need to click once more after the page opens to be redirected to your regional Kobo store if you’re not in Canada. (I am in Canada, which is why I have the link for the Canadian store 😉 ) 

My books are listed in the category labelled “Sweet nothings and so much more.” 

That’s it for today. Just a quick announcement. 

Have a great weekend!

PS. I have some other book promotions going on this month. You can find all the current ones (including these) on the Current Book Promotions page.
