My first (and favorite!) Publisher.

Wrapup for the week…

I realized this morning when I woke up that I’ve got a lot of stuff going on right now, so I figured I’d make an FYI-Don’t forget post about it all for you

Yeah, I know: I’m generous that way ( Cue the goodnatured sarcasm music! Whaawhaa…)

First, In anticipation of the 8.14 release of INFLUENCE, my newest addition to the NYC Socialites series, I”, having a #goodreadsgiveaway for IT’S A TRUST THING, the first book in the series. You can enter here: GOODREADS.

Second, I’m attending ROMANTICON 2023 in just 2 weeks and I’ve got a pre-order list for the books I’ll be bringing with me. Since there are so many fabulous authors attending – not to mention the higher numbers of readers than ever before, it would make sense that you, as a reader, might want to preorder your books from authors you now so you can, 1. guarantee the book you want will be available and not sold out, and 2. this gives you more time to visit the authors you don’t know and want to meet. Here’s the preorder form for Romanticon: Books.

Also, I’m attending my first GETTING WITCHY WITH IT in September, and for all the same reasons I mentioned above. I’ve got a preorder list for that event, too. Here it is BOOK 2.

Last, if you’re on BOOKSPROUT and you are a reader and reviewer, I’ve got a campaign underway for INFLUENCE. Just download the book, read it, and then post your review to the sites allowed – Amazon being the most important one on release day, 8.14. Here’s the info on the campaingn and the link to request: REQUEST.

And, as always, I’m over on TIKTOK/BookTok a few times a day with new content about my dog, my life – writing and personal – and books I’m reviewing. Follow me, here: TIKTOK.

Goodness, that’s enough, right?
Hee hee.

Have a great week, kids ~ Peg

INFLUENCE is available for #readandreview on Booksprout…

Good news: if you’re a BOOKSPROUT reader and reviewer, the 4th book in my NYC Socialites series, INFLUENCE, is available for a limited time. Just click here to download your copy: BOOKSPROUT.

Reader reviews are the bed and butter of authors, and Booksprout readers are the best!!

If you do download the book, just a few caveats:

~this is an ADVANCED READER COPY which means it may have typos, missing words, etc. All those will be fixed prior to publication, so please don’t score the book low because of any you find

~there are a few explicit lovemaking scenes in the book, hence the steamy romance tag. NOT EROTICA or EROTIC ROMANCE, but normal, everyday, HOT sexy scenes. So know this. This book isn’t a sweet romance by anyone’s standards, LOL.

~posting your review to AMAZON is a must. Many people want to read the book but then don’t want to post to amazon – I don’t know why. But…if you do read it and don’t post a review on amazon, Booksprout has a way that they won’t allow you to read any more of my work, pre-publication. And I’d hate for that to happen.

~reviews are due on August 14 on Amazon, or within 7 days after.

I hope, if you can get an early copy, you enjoy it!

And if you’re not on Booksprout, no worries. You can preorder INFLUENCE from amazon, here: PREORDER LINK

A GOODREADS giveaway that’s too good to scroll by…

In anticipation of my August 14th release of INFLUENCE, book 4 in the NYC Socialites series, I’m having a Goodreads giveaway for book 1, IT’S A TRUST THING from today until Jul 10th. I’ll be gifting 100 Kindle copies to randomly chosen entrants. Goodreads does the choosing at the end, but you’ve gotta be in it to win it!

Click on this link to enter: IATT

And don’t forget to add INFLUENCE to your WANT TO READ pile on Goodreads. You can click that, here: INFLUENCE.

Good luck!!! ~ Peg

About IT’S A TRUST THING:

Nell Newbery has trust issues.

It’s hard to trust when you’re the daughter of a fallen financial scion who bilked people out of billions. Nell’s done everything in her power to keep away from men who see her as their ticket to fortune and fame. All she wants to do is run her ultra-successful business, HELPFUL HUNKS, in peace. But it wouldn’t hurt to find a guy who doesn’t know a thing about her father’s felonious past; one she can give her heart to and trust it won’t come back to her battered, bruised, and broken.

Is Charlie Churchill that guy? On the surface, he seems perfect, all polished manners and quiet mirth. Nell’s convinced he knows nothing about her, other than she likes superhero movies and views junk food as a food group. Can she trust him to be what he appears to be? Or is he just pretending?

For Nell, trust is everything in life…and in love.
