Hello lovelies!
I hope you and yours are safe and well. November has been a month of high-highs, low-lows, and everything in between. But good things are happening!
When Alyssa Cole, Courtney Milan, and Kit Rocha (aka Bree & Donna) created ROMANCING THE RUNOFF, a fundraiser and auction to support Fair Fight, the New Georgia Project, and Black Voters Matter in the Georgia Senate Runoffs, I jumped to participate.
Inspired by fellow romance author (and future-President,) Stacey Abrams, Romancing the Runoff has already raised over $300,000! This, after their initial goal was to maybe get $25,000. Needless to say, Romancelandia has risen to the challenge, and then some – along with people like Neil Gaiman and Charisma Carpenter who donated some truly amazing auction items!
I have two lots up for grabs, including a signed book bundle and a signed ARC of THE GIRL WITH STARS IN HER EYES!
As I type this, roughly thirty-one hours remain for bidding, and there are plenty of buy-it-now items still available. Visit the auction site and bid on everything from manuscript consults to rare, signed books, to a pajama party with an author. You can also donate directly to the fundraiser and every little bit helps.
In other news, Falling Stars is five years old this week!
In preparation for a super secret project, the Falling Stars duo will drop out of e-book and print circulation at the end of November. Right now, both FALLING STARS and STARLIGHT are in Kindle Unlimited. If you’ve been itching for a re-read, now’s the time to buy or borrow and experience Sam and Val’s epic saga.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this week!
Stay safe,
