*SALE* Death Becomes Her

Something just kinda hit me and I decided to offer the digital edition of  Death Becomes Her for only $0.99 for a limited time. This is the slightly morbid (the heroine steals dead bodies for the anatomy schools) serial Regency romance I wrote for InD'tale Magazine over the course of a year.

But there's a bonus! This compilation includes a short story called The Devil She Knows that the magazine's readers didn't get to see. This is a story I wrote just for my readers and fans, a thank you just for being you. I hope you enjoy it! ♥

Get your copy from Amazon (US), Amazon (UK), Amazon (CA), Amazon (AU), Smashwords, B&N, Apple (iTunes), or Kobo. 

This offer is only good until Jan 1, 2016 so tell your friends and grab your discounted copy while you can! Have a wonderful rest of 2015, my lovelies! 

♥Happy reading, writing, and blogging!!♥

A Forgotten Party

Forgotten, and other Heartless tales is officially released, as of yesterday! Woo-hoo!! ♥ A new book release is a reason to celebrate so that's what I'm gonna do. And you're all invited! 

It's an online gathering (Facebook), nothing fancy, a few giveaways with prizes. If it's something you'd like to attend, please click on over HERE and "join" the party. It will start on Saturday, March 1, at 10 am eastern time. I will officially close the party at 6 pm. 

Additionally, as a special introductory offer, you can get a e-copy of Forgotten, and other Heartless tales from Amazon (US; UK) or Smashwords for only 99¢ until March 4. (For an excerpt from Loyalty, the first story in this book, you can visit my website HERE.)

~E-book Sale~ ♥ FREE to 99¢ ♥

Just a few book related updates for you, my lovely readers. ☺

First and foremost, Intrigue received a glowing, beautiful, 4½-star review from InD'tale Magazine. It was completely unexpected, and so thrilling! (I always expect the worst. LOL)

"Writing that shouts "well above average" should never be missed, and Ms. Grant certainly has attained a lofty position with this story!" ~InD'tale Magazine

To celebrate, I've put Intrigue on sale. The price change hasn't fed through to all the stores yet, but at the time of this post, it's reduced at Amazon (US & UK), Apple, B&N, Smashwords, and Kobo. It will soon follow to Sony and Diesel. 

Second, Heartless has been on sale for 99¢ since I revealed the cover for my upcoming release, Forgotten, and other Heartless tales. Seemed appropriate, considering the new book is tied very closely to Heartless. (For example, the heroine of the first story in this anthology is the sister of the heroine in Heartless. Yup, very closely tied together.)

"The richness and emotion of these characters will grab you by the heart and the story will not let you go!" ~InD'tale Magazine 

Get Heartless at Amazon (US & UK), Apple, B&N, Smashwords, Sony, Diesel, and Kobo for only 99¢ until Feb 28.

As another "woo-hoo" announcement, Whispered Beginnings, the Clever Fiction Writers Anthology that boasts one of my exclusive Regency short stories, is now free. Follow the title to read an excerpt of my short story and for buy links.

And as always, My Lady Coward is free, The 11th Commandment is only 99¢ everywhere e-books are sold, and my one and only non-romance/fantasy short story The Dragon's Birth is also 99¢.

*All links open in new tabs or windows, depending on your browser settings. All linked titles go to the corresponding page on my site where you can find blurbs, excerpts, and buy links.

Yet Another Cover Reveal and a Heartless Sale

I've been one busy little bee around here and I have another cover reveal for you lovely, lovely readers. 

Have I mentioned there's a new release on the horizon? There is, and it's called Forgotten, and other Heartless tales. This book features three novelettes, all centered around Heartless characters in particular. There are appearances by a few characters from other books, but the main focus is a few supporting characters from Heartless. 

The individual story titles are Loyalty, Forgotten, and Introductions: A Heartless Conclusion. Once I have the back cover blurb for this book, I'll reveal what each story is about. 

And without further ado, here's the official...

COVER REVEAL!!!

As usual, this design was done by An Author's Art ~ Cover Design. And again, that's me. ;) 

As a special bonus, to celebrate the upcoming release of Forgotten, and other Heartless tales, Heartless is on sale for only $0.99 everywhere e-books are sold! (Except B&N, who for some reason are taking their merry time lowering the price.) Here are the links. :)

• Amazon
• Smashwords
• Apple
• Kobo 
• Diesel
• Sony
• B&N (eventually, it will be $0.99 here too)

The LAST Heartless Kindle Promotion

Heartless will be free again, starting at midnight tonight (PST). This is the LAST TIME Heartless will be free in the Kindle store so take advantage while you can. 

In case FREE isn't enough and you need more convincing, here's the blurb:

A dark stranger....

Finding herself abandoned after the death of her father, Leandra Harcourt takes the greatest risk of her life. She accepts the marriage proposal of a complete stranger, the Duke of Derringer—a man the world calls Lord Heartless.

A heartless proposal....

A desperate girl with no prospects seems the perfect solution to Derringer's most recent problem: marry before his 30th birthday to gain his rightful inheritance, though marriage is the last thing he needs. The need to find his missing cousin takes priority over any silly marriage and he quickly abandons his new bride in the wreck of his family estate.

A perfect love....

Two people were never more suited for each other than the duke and his wife, but will they discover it before it's too late? With an assassin dogging his heels and a suitor wooing his wife, love will not have the luxury of time.

THIS LINK will take you to the US Kindle Store. The book will be free in Kindle stores worldwide. Make sure you wait until it says $0.00 (not just for Prime Members) when you click the purchase button or you will be charged the regular list price of $2.99.

~Regency Wednesday~ Stubble It

As I flip contentedly through my Vulgar Dictionary, I see a term that I've seen in more than one Regency, one that I've used myself. Lord Greville from Deception used this term. 

STUBBLE IT.

Hold your tongue. CANT. 

And just because I can, here's an additional definition. ☺

STRUMPET. 

A harlot. 

Taken verbatim from the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, which is free all the time in Amazon's Kindle Store. Guess what else is free today and ONLY TODAY? ♥

Curiosity Forces Me to Try Something Different

I am curious about something. Amazon used to discount my Kindle books by 20% and sales were adequate. After the discount disappeared, sales dwindled.

I recently read an article from a self-published author who suspects that Amazon has decided not to offer the discount on self-pubbed titles anymore. This would be truly sad and a bit short-sighted on Amazon's part, but fairly typical of many these days. (I am self-pubbed, as well, just FYI.) At first, I thought she was probably right. Until I noticed my title Heartless.

Amazon took the discount from only three of my four titles. Heartless continued to enjoy its 20% discount. I don't know if this had something to do with Heartless having far better sales than the other three or not. When one is dealing with Amazon, one never knows what is actually going on.

I am participating in a sale at Smashwords.com. My books can be purchased for 50% off the list price of $4.95. This is accomplished with an easy-to-use coupon code which is displayed prominently on the pages of all the books participating. With Amazon, they do not offer the publisher/author a coupon or discount option. Discounting a title is something Amazon decides at their own discretion. To their credit, the author/publisher's "royalty" is based on the list price no matter how much Amazon decides to discount the product. Honestly, it's about the only positive thing I can say about Amazon lately. They are not the most author-friendly online bookstore.

That being said, I have decided to drop the price of my eBooks in Amazon's Kindle Store for a limited time. I want to see what happens. From now (July 15) until October 31, my books can be purchased from the Kindle Store for $2.95. If Amazon decides to discount them further, all the better for everyone. :o)
