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!

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.

I Love JAFF Valentine Giveaway 2026

I have a short post/email for you today, but an important one.

In February, part of my book promotions are focusing on two mailing list builder opportunities.

The first one is a multi-author giveaway of JAFF books which is being hosted by Amanda Kai.

In this giveaway, there are 18 prizes to be won — 17 individual eBook prizes and 1 grand-prize that includes all 17 eBooks!

So head on over to the giveaway page that Amanda has set up, browse the list of books included in the giveaway, and click the sign up button.

Please be aware that by entering the contest, you are giving your permission to receive emails from all the authors who are part of this giveaway. So, don’t be surprised after it concludes if you get some welcome emails from these authors. As always, you can unsubscribe from any of the authors at any time.

The second mailing list builder that I’m doing will be later this month when I will be making one of my books free for a short time for anyone who joins one of my reader groups (Substack, Patreon, or Blog). But don’t worry. If you’re already a reader group subscriber in any of those places, I’ll make sure you have a chance to get the book, too.

For now, just enter that giveaway (if you want to), and I’ll email about that free book right before Valentine’s Day. 🙂

That’s all for now! Have a great week!

Final Book Deals for 2025

December Book Promotions

Good Monday to you all. This is my update on all things Book Promotions for the month of December. I’ll keep this short and to the point since I have a Saturday Broadsheet coming out this weekend, where I can share other things. 

This month, I am focusing some of my marketing and promotional efforts on my Choices series. This series begins with one choice made by Mr. Bennet to force a marriage between his Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, and just tapping the first domino in a string of them set up to fall, this one choice leads to more struggles and happily ever afters down the line. 

Her Father’s Choice is the first book in the series and is the free read on Patreon. This means you only have to follow me for free there to be able to read the book. 

It is also one of the two downloads this month for Patreon subscribers. (Subscriptions start at $2 USD/ $3 CAD per month.) The second download for subscribers this month is Enticing Miss Darcy which is a sequel to one of last month’s downloads (Becoming Entangled). 

As always, my full catalogue of books is available to be read on Patreon for subscribers, so you could read the full Choices series there this month. 

You can find me on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/c/LeenieBrown

Her Heart’s Choice is book four in this series and is my $0.99 book for the month of December. It is $0.99 everywhere EXCEPT Smashwords where it is FREE. This is because all my books are included in the End of Year Sale over there and reduced by 50%. Smashwords has a policy that pricing for books starts at $0.99, so any book that falls below that threshold becomes free. 

Find all the places where you can buy this book here: https://bit.ly/HHC_Link

You can find all my books on Smashwords here: https://bit.ly/Leenie-SW

You can find all the books included in the End of Year Smashwords sale here: https://www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos 

There is just one more promotion that my books are involved in that I wanted to let you know about. If your library uses CloudLibrary, they are having a sale this month, and all my books are reduced 30% for the month of December. (As you can see, all my Annilee Books are also part of this sale.)

That’s it for now. I currently do not have any plans for any more sales before the year is out – unless some idea strikes me and I just “have to” do it. 🙂 

I’ll be back on Saturday with my monthly broadsheet. Until then, have a great week, and happy reading!
