Oh, wait! Don’t forget that these other books are on currently on sale everywhere:
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.
I told you I would have more info on the final Kobo promotion when I had the details. I have them now.
Her Father’s Choice is reduced in price to $0.99. This promotion is on until November 29, and it is only available in Canada, the UK the US, Australia, and New Zealand. (Sorry. Not my choice. This is the scope of their promotion.)
Since this is not a coupon sort of special, I have submitted matching prices for this book to my other vendors (about half an hour ago). They should have the price changed soon. (Click here to the Book Promo Page for links.)
I’m just dropping into your inbox today with a quick note about a sale at Kobo that starts just in time for the long Victoria Day (or May 2-4) weekend here in Canada and then concludes just after the long Memorial Day weekend in the States.
This promotion is just for readers in CA, US, AU, NZ, UK.
It’s a promotion that I had to apply for, and since they didn’t limit how many box sets I could submit for consideration. I offered up six. I figured maybe I’d get one or two of them accepted.
Imagine my surprise when they took ALL SIX!
The sale runs from now until May 27, 2025.
You will need to use the code MAYBOX25 when you’re checking out.
You can find all my books on Kobo @ bit.ly/Leenie_Kobo (This might be the easiest way to find the box sets of mine that you want to add to your eBook library.)
The landing page for the May sale is here: kobo.com/en/p/25-off-boxsets. This is where you can find links to scroll through all the books that are on offer.
Remember to enter the code MAYBOX25 when checking out to get your 25% off.
Happy Reading!
Leenie
PS. All these box sets are also available in the Kobo Plus reading subscription plan, so if you have that, you could enjoy them there if you don’t want to purchase them.
Those four words are soooo dangerous! I have a dreadful time stopping anywhere before the end of a book — I always have. These four words played a part in what I did and did not get done this week. 🙂
Writing Life
Due, in part, to some poor choices on my part 😉 — see the info about reading past my bedtime at the bottom of this newsletter — I got less written this week than I had wanted.
The other part of the not getting as much done as wanted is that with all the things I am doing this year and things I have been learning about and experimenting with, I am finding my writing process is shifting somewhat. I used to reread what was written the day before and then jump right into the new chapter.
