Hey ,
As always, I have a few free books that I think you might like at the bottom of the email. A forbidden fae romance by Xandra Noel & an alien steamy romance that involves a planet that may be ideal for coffee beans, that causes galactic chaos by Lola Blix! I was sold at a plot that involves coffee being the inciting incident that has humans up in arms to occupy the planet of a watery paradise. haha.
Side note: I've been super sick the last week, I'm adding this caveat to the newsletter because I basically did the randomizer on the winners of the paperback giveaway, and have yet to actually email the winners yet. Please be aware that if you are the winner mentioned below, I will email you with next steps, but I need more rest, and will get to this soon.
And of course, the WINNERS of the My Abett Paperback Giveaway:
Congrats to Jammie & Maria!
Good thing I wrote this newsletter before getting sick. So, enjoy my rant about my new writing addiction:
I've been using 4thewords.com to maintain writing motivation, and it's been pretty darn successful so far! I discovered this site because of NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month in November for those of you who are not super writer nerds like me. It was part of the sponsored offers, and it's basically a writing interface that allows you to defeat monsters, earn gear, and level up by writing words! I love games, and I've been known to obsess and play RPG games for endless hours, with the only reward being digital kudos, interactive story, and bragging rights. But, I've found I get the same addiction from 4thwords, because there are quests, and monsters to defeat, but it requires me to write to do it!
This really helped motivate me to complete a whole novel in November! And I did it!
2022 NaNoWriMo Winner!
Here's my nifty badge of honor!
If you love to write and haven't tried 4thewords, you can join me and be buddies. My username is MissApple, and if you're so inclined you can add my referral code, which isn't necessary, but does get you free crystals if you decide to stay past the trial: ZZVKG21810 (I was never asked to share 4thewords by anyone, I simply am addicted to the gaming aspect that combines my love of writing.)
Also, you can use the promo code: wrimo2022 and your trial will be extended an extra month and get Nano goodies. I joined the trial myself, and decided that the less than $4 a month was worth the fun and productivity, so I did pay to extend my membership. Plus, I believe you'll all be thankful that I will get the next book of the Acatalec series completed sooner, as well as other projects.
Wait, Stevie... didn't you say you finished Nanowrimo as a winner and wrote 50,000 words? Doesn't that mean you finished book two already? (Sweat Drop) Uhh, no, I worked on launching my nom de plume during November, Sky Robert, for spicier monster love alien romances. I actually finished writing Her Alien Exchange and have it available exclusively for people on my Sky Robert Newsletter.
Basically, it asks the question: What if there was an alien exchange program for humans to visit other planets? And one of those hunky aliens happens to be your fated mate? Link to that is at the bottom with the free reads.
Did you know about Nanowrimo already? Are you a writer? Or are you a reader that is happy to see my motivation to pump out the words with 4thewords, will mean you get to see the next book sooner? Haha.
Chat soon!

PS: Sometimes you have to click the read more to see the whole email so you don't miss out on goodies.
If you've already gobbled up Kingdom of Acatalec, or read through your free prequel book My Abett, please take a moment to share your thoughts on all the places reviews are found, even if it's simply just smashing that star button.
This helps small fries like me afford their ramen, or support their addiction to coffee which fuels the next book. Plus, reviews and ratings do help motivate me to push through my imposter syndrome to write and edit book two of the Acatalec Series faster.
Thank you from all the inky crevasses of my heart.

PSS: If you haven't noticed this email is from SendFox instead of MailerLite! I'm testing it out, and seeing how it goes. Please let me know your thoughts. SendFox is a lot more affordable for me to maintain, so I hope the user experience isn't diminished for the switch. I also hope that this email doesn't end up in your SPAM, oh no! Please be sure to add this to your safe senders just in case.
