June Newsletter

Dear readers and friends, Do you remember when summer meant time off? I guess that's one of those things about growing up--time off is a luxury most of us can't afford very often. My writing slows to a crawl in June and July. Swimming lessons, relatives and vacations are just the tip of the to-do list. I do have a few irons in the fire worth mentioning. 1. SALE: July 3-7 The Misadventures of the Laundry Hag: Skeletons in the Closet will be FREE on Amazon so please help spread the word! More readers means more likelihood of future hag stories.  2. Audiobooks: I don't know about you but finding time to sit and read is like herding cats during the summer. As in, not gonna happen. I've got several audiobooks from my favorite authors that I listen to while working out, cleaning and driving from point A to B. So I am thrilled to announce that Daisy Dominatrix and The Misadventures of the Laundry Hag: Skeletons in the Closet are both in production right now! All audiobooks will be available on Amazon, Audible and iTunes. Release dates TBA. 3. Cover Art: I grew tired of having unimpressive covers so I've been devoting my time and money to learning cover art design. LOTS of trial and error but luckily I have a great group of friends who aren't afraid to tell me when something sucks. As you can see, both Daisy Dominatrix and Stellar Timing have brand *spanking*  new covers and I am *over the moon* with the results. Finally what's on the outside reflects the fabulous stories on the inside! 4. Conference: I will be attending RWA nationals in Atlanta from July 17-20. Would love to see you there! 5. Store: I have a storefront set up on my website now with some of my favorite giveaway items up for sale. Hag Swag, Daisy mug and iPhone 5 cover and the latest, undamaged goods from the upcoming Damaged Goods mysteries. Send me pictures of anything you buy and I'd be happy to post them on my site! And finally.... 6. Contests: Two going on right now via rafflecopter. One on the Damaged Goods Facebook page, for some killer new swag (Click the banner below ;-) and a mystery prize giveaway on my Jennifer L. Hart Facebook page celebrating 100 likes. Many ways to enter so act soon! *Puns totally intended* Happy trails!
