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).
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.

Oh, wait! Don’t forget that these other books are on currently on sale everywhere:
We are going to Derbyshire for my series highlight this month because that’s where my Willow Hall romance series is set.
It begins in book one, And Then Love, with a Pride and Prejudice prequel that sets the stage for what’s going to happen when we get to books 2-4.
Book 2, The Tenant’s Guest, begins the summer after Darcy’s proposal at Hunsford, but before the Gardiners arrive in Derbyshire for a visit.
From there, we follow the new story line that changes how Darcy and Elizabeth end up together. We also get to see Lydia’s story play out differently as well as Jane and Bingley’s.
It is a series that is filled with the unexpected.
To highlight this series with something fun, I’ve made a couple of online jigsaw puzzles from a couple of graphics that were in my files. If you click on the graphic below, you will be taken to the puzzle for that picture.
And then below that is a link to a FREEBIE.
This weekend – and only this weekend – The Tenant’s Guest (book 2) is FREE ON SMASHWORDS. This is a public coupon deal, so you don’t have to remember a coupon code. It will be automatically applied. And anyone can find the book for free. The coupon deal is only good until Monday, May 4.
The rest of the month, The Tenant’s Guest will be reduced in price as listed at the bottom of this post/email.
So…
Here are the jigsaw puzzle pictures. Click each to be taken to that picture’s puzzle.
Do you read on the weekend? That’s often when I have time to read — Sunday afternoons in particular.
As I head into the final weekend of April, I wanted to remind you about my book promotions – one of which ends this weekend – and to let you know about a couple of audiobook things.
In case, you need a few weekend reading suggestions. 😉
So, first, let’s get the promotion reminders out of the way.
The Kobo Spring/Autumn Reading Campaign ends on April 26, which means in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada the $0.99 price for Listen to Your Heartwill disappear on Monday. If you were wanting to nab that book at that price, you have a day or so to do that. (And I did mark it to $0.99 on all sales platforms, not just Kobo.)
The series price drops for my Touches of Austen books ends on April 30. Those prices are as follows:
Her Secret Beau is $0.99 USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, EUR, GBP, with all other currencies also reduced
All the other single title books in the series are $2.99 USD (regular price $3.99), with all other currencies also reduced.
And remember that the Patreon free read and paid Patron downloads also end on April 30.
Find links for this book on the Promo Page or the Audiobook page
And then let me share with you that the audiobook edition of Frosted Windowpanes has been published!
So far, I have found links for it on Spotify, Kobo, Nook, and Everand, and of course, it is also part of all paid Patreon subscriptions or free to listen to on YouTube.
I have chosen to list the audiobook at the introductory cost of $2.99 in stores and $4.99 in library catalogues until the end of May. After that, the price will go up to $4.99 in stores and $9.99 in library catalogues.
As I have mentioned before and will mention again at some point, my audiobooks are read by Christopher E (E is for Elevenlabs), an authorized voice replica.
This means that the owner of the voice gets paid whenever his voice clone is used to create an audiobook. This is one way that some voice actors are choosing to diversify their income, and means that audiobook production costs for me are lower when it comes to dollars and cents, but higher when it comes to sweat equity and time in the production process.
Below is a short snippet of me working on one of the chapters for Frosted Windowpanes. This was during my first pass. It took me 8 minutes to get this paragraph to a point where I was willing to leave it and move on. Then, on the second pass through the manuscript, I spent a few more minutes (though I did not keep track of how long) on improving on what I had done during that first pass.
(There is no sound, because I work with a headset on so I can hear any small things that need to be taken out or changed.)
In other audiobook news…
This week I have marked all the Darcy And… stories with an a la carte price on ElevenReader. That means they are still available to listen to using a voice of your choosing if you’re a subscriber, but they are also now available to add to your library for $4.99 without having a subscription.
I have also just started to share Discovering Mr. Darcy as an Audiobook-by-the-Chapter on YouTube.
And that’s it for today.
Have a lovely weekend!I hope it includes some time to read (or listen) to a story.
