My Apologies to Kindle Unlimited Subscribers
I was checking my Amazon author account the other day and noticed that I hadn’t had anyone in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited (KU) program read the book this month. Usually, on the Author Dashboard, you can tell how many pages of your books have been read. Cinders & Ash had zero, which I thought was odd.
For some reason, I didn’t think it odd enough, and figured things would pick up. However, I did happen to want to check the page numbers for my books enrolled in the Select (the author name of the program that allows books to be in KU) program. Amazon has a secret way of calculating a book’s total pages, and from time-to-time, the number of pages they calculate for you book will change. Beauty and her Beastly Love lost one page, so I noted that. When I went to check on Cinders & Ash, it told me it wasn’t enrolled in Select!
Enrollment in Select lasts 90 days, and you can check a box to automatically re-enroll a book. I must have, at some point, unchecked the box. Amazon doesn’t send notice of when your Select term is about to expire (which is fine), so I didn’t realize it had. So, I am very sorry, because I have been promoting the book on Twitter and Facebook saying it’s FREE on Kindle Unlimited. But it hasn’t been because the book had expired from the program.
My apologies, and I’ll pay better attention in the future. I did re-enroll, so if you’re in Select, it’s now available. If you’re in Select and you bought Cinders & Ash when you normally would’ve just borrowed it, forward me your receipt, and I’ve got something special for you. You can contact me at rosetta (at) rosettabloom.com.

So, this is love
I saw this picture, and it reminded me of just how simple love can be. It’s not the grand gestures or the sweeping statements. It’s a simple, innate thing like inhaling the scent of the one you love and that alone making your day.

Have a great day, and may your love remain in Bloom.

Some New Images
I’m busy toiling away on the next book in my passion-filled fairy tales series, Dream Trysts. In the meantime, however, I’ve taken a moment to create a couple of images for Pinterest. I thought I’d share them here, in case you don’t get to Pinterest.
I hope you enjoy.

A book trailer for Cinders & Ash
It’s March 14, so it’s almost spring. Yay.
As I run (as quickly as I can) away from winter and toward spring, I’ve been trying to catch up on a few things. One of the items on my list was to create a book trailer for Cinders & Ash: A Cinderella Story. I have a trailer for the first two books in that series, but the book came out a little before Christmas and I just was too busy with other obligations to push it out into the world. As such, I created one over the weekend. I hope you enjoy it.
You can find the other book trailers on my YouTube Channel. I’ll try to check in later this week with an update on what I’m up to (in terms of writing).
As always: May your love remain in bloom.

Cool Pics & Inspiration

I saw this picture on the website Pixabay today and couldn’t help but giggle. Pixabay offers free images for use on websites.
This made me wonder if I should do a retelling of the Frog Prince. I wonder what the princess would have to do get her frog turned back into a man?

A Great Review for Cinders & Ash
I guess you could say I’ve been asleep at the wheel (or busy in my writing cave). I totally missed this AWESOME review of Cinders & Ash over at the Big Al’s Books and Pals blog.
“Cinders & Ash is double the length of Ms. Bloom’s tales so far. The result is a well told story with well-defined characters and a plot of conspiracy against the throne.” (Read More)
Needless to say, I was quite happy with the review. So glad this book was enjoyed. It was a real labor of love (as it took three times as long to write as the other ones; I had a couple of false starts/stops because I deviated from the traditional tale so much).
If you haven’t read Cinders & Ash, it’s available as FREE read for Kindle Unlimited Subscribers. Do check it out.
I’ll try to pop my head out of the writing cave a little more often. I’m trying to finish up the last 5,000 words or so of my Sleeping Beauty tale. I’ve got a tentative release date of March for it. I’ll keep you posted.
May your love always be in bloom

The Princess, the Pea and the Night of Passion to Stay Free
FREE at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo & Google Play and Apple
I’ve always liked series where I can try the first one for free or a low price. Since I like it as a reader, I’ve decided to stick with it a bit as an author.
Last month, I decided to try giving away the first story in the Passion-Filled Fairy Tale series. Since then, the story has been downloaded a decent amount, and I’ve seen follow-through sales of the other two books in the series. So, I think I’ll just leave it a free. It’s a fun tale, and gives you a feel for whether you’d like the rest of the series. Though, admittedly, the Princess, the Pea and the Night of Passion is shorter than the remaining books in the series.
At the moment, I’m working on the fourth book in the series: Dream Tryst. It’s a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story, and I’m having a ton of fun writing it. I hope you’ll have as much fun reading it.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Have a great day.
