LIMITLESS ENCORE COVER REVEAL!
Are you ready for Limitless Encore? I’ll admit, this one was tough for me to write. I’m pretty sure you’ll understand why once you read it!
Meanwhile
That being said, how l love this couple. I’m excited for you to learn a little more about Jace and his family. How his upbringing has shaped him. You’ll also learn more about Alex and her relationship with her parents. Maybe get a little more insight into her independent and playful nature.
Most of all, it’s the continuation of Jace and Alex’s love story. There’s one chapter in the book that makes me swoon just thinking about it.
ARC LISTDo you want to join my ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) list? I’ll be giving out between 10-20 ARCs for readers who want to get the book before it’s released. All I want in return is an HONEST review on Amazon, GoodReads and BookBub. Are you up for it?
Here’s a link or click the image below:
I have TWO big reader events to go in 2022. I hope you can make it!!
That’s it for now! I’ll be back with some cool announcements in a couple of weeks!
Love,
Kaylene

LTZ MUSIC IS HERE!
Hello, my favorite people, I’ve had a whirlwind couple of weeks and I’ve just returned from Ireland where I was able to visit my in-laws for the first time in a few years. My hubby and I had such an amazing time.
But – let’s concentrate on the COOLEST THING EVER!
I’ve hinted at it. I’ve promised. I’ve even posted some of the music on social media – and now you can own LTZ’s EP featuring four original songs that you’ll recognize from the series.
RISE, DOWN, KICK IT and BUTTERFLY
There is no way this would have happened without the help of some of the most talented musicians in Seattle. We’ve been collaborating on this idea since before I published ENDLESS, and to see this all come to fruition is, well, breathtaking.
Please take some time to look at the impressive biographies of my friends behind LTZ’s music:
Andrew Joslyn (composer, musician): https://www.andrewjoslynmusic.com/Sue Ennis (lyrics, composition): http://sueennis.com/Eric Lilavois/London Bridge Studios (engineer): https://www.londonbridgestudio.com/Chris Sloan (Vocals): http://chrissloanmusic.com/Jeff Fielder (Guitar) https://www.jefffieldermusic.com/bioThe great news is, LTZ’s music is now available EVERYWHERE!!!!

THANK YOU BOSTON
I’m back from Boston y’all! It was Wicked Awesome, that’s the truth.
It was really my first major book signing, and I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing experience it was.
First and foremost, I want to give a HUGE shout out to the flawless planning by Mindy Guerreiros, Bethany MacNicholl and their tireless volunteers. I have an event background, and can say without any doubt that this was a world class event. The communication, the support and the wonderful welcoming attitude of everyone involved—it was an absolute JOY. I’m so happy to have been included. I definitely will be back if they will have me.
For those of you who have never been to a signing – it’s a great way to connect with authors you love, get paperbacks and other things signed and to meet fellow readers. You also have the chance to meet new authors, and maybe even hang out with them in the bar!
Did I mention Enrico Ravenna, aka Zane Rocks joined me? He did! Together, Enrico and I met easily a hundred authors and readers. I’m so incredibly happy to report that I SOLD OUT OF BOOKS! I couldn’t believe it, but what a thrill.
If you were not able to make it to Boston to see me, I’m excited to report I’ll have two more signings this year.
Readers and Writers Seattle 2022

CALLING ALL AUDIOPHILES
Hi, Rockstars!
I’m sure you’ve seen social media – audiobooks are on their way and man, they are going to be good. These aren’t just typical audiobooks, but is anything in Less Than Zero Universe “typical”? Let’s dive into it!
You don’t know what you don’t know, right? And something, I just simply didn’t know at first was just how huge audiobooks were for some people. Narrators are like their own rockstars in the audiobook community and I’m happy to say that we picked some awesome narrators for you. We were conscious of everything from the sound of each persons voice of course, to making sure that the voice actor’s ethnicity matched the character in the book because representation is so important!
Here are the narrators that will be reading to you!
RESTLESS
CARTER: Reginald James
LIANNE: Lynn Barrington
ENDLESS
TY: Gregory Salinas
ZOEY: Sophie Daniels
LIMITLESS
JACE: Alexander Cendese
ALEX: CJ Robins
FEARLESS
CONNOR: Richard Sawyer
RONNI: Rose Dioro
TIMELESS
ZANE: J.D. Tomlinson
FIONA: Stella Hunter
I can’t lie – it would be weird if I did a whole audio book about the world’s biggest band and didn’t include any music, don’t you think? So, of course, the audiobooks will have music but not just any music. Each audiobook, besides RESTLESS, will include ORIGINAL MUSIC written by none other than Grammy-Award Winning Producer Andrew Joslyn and writer Sue Ennis.
I cannot express to you how excited I am to share this amazing music with you all. It is going to rock the hell out of you. I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize all of the other amazing musicians who came in and completely killed on these songs, making them radio-worthy and fucking cool. It’s a literal dream come true.
TY’S VOCALS: Chris Sloan
ZANE’S GUITAR: Jeff Fielder
AUDIO ENGINEER: Eric Lilavois
CO-PRODUCER: Marc Alan
As always, thank you for your love and support. If you can take the time to write a review on Amazon, GoodReads or BookBub, I would so appreciate it and if you haven’t signed up for my Master List yet – please do! You’re the best, Rockstars!
Love,
Kaylene

ENDLESS: ENCORE
Hi, Rockstars!
Phew! Well, I must tell you, my assistant and I have been busy as can be trying to get everything together to share with you and I think you’re going to love it.
ENDLESS: ENCORE IS HERE(2.17.22)
ENDLESS: ENCORE is finally here, and it has truly been an honor to bring to you. It was a labor of love that came from a deep place of care and I’m so proud of it right now.
I hope you were able to take advantage of the ENDLESS sale so you can read the duo together and really go on Ty and Zoey’s journey as intended. Not every happily ever after is linear and simple but each of them is special and that is what I tried to show in ENCORE.
THE REVIEWS ARE IN
MEET ME, TY & ZOEY – YES, REALLY!
WHEN: 2.17.22
WHERE: My Reader Group (for the best experience)
I’m having a celebration for the release of ENDLESS: ENCORE!
I will be going LIVE with Ty and Zoey from the ENDLESS Duo.
Did you know there is a real-life couple behind the searing chemistry of Ty and Zoey’s gorgeous pictures and videos? It’s true.
Brandon Katz & Tara Salerno will be joining me to talk about ENDLESS: ENCORE, love, family and of course, those awesome songs you’ve been hearing around.
Book 3, LIVING FOR HIM, was recently released! This is a steamy series containing BDSM.
Alex and Natalie have survived the unthinkable and believe their troubled past is finally behind them. What they don’t realize is someone is watching them and plans to make a move that will devastate their young family. Get all 3 books now!
As always, thank you for your love and support. If you can take the time to write a review on Amazon, GoodReads or BookBub, I would so appreciate it and if you haven’t signed up for my Master List yet – please do! You’re the best, Rockstars!
Love,
Kaylene

ENDLESS: ENCORE IS AFOOT!
Hi, Rockstars!
I hope you are all doing well! I’m excited to dig a little bit deeper today into ENDLESS: ENCORE which is coming out in just 2 WEEKS time! I have some exciting announcements attached to that so read on to get in the loop!
ENDLESS DUO SALE(2.11 – 2.16.22)
I told you a couple weeks ago to tie a red ribbon around your finger if you needed to remember the 17th – well now it’s almost here!
We are getting close and I just wanted to let you know about a couple tid bits that will be going on before the release!
First, we are making ENDLESS FREE from the 11 th to the 16 th .
That’s right! You can get the prequel to ENDLESS: ENCORE for LESS THAN ZERO (see what I did there?) PENNIES so that you can start Ty and Zoey’s journey from the beginning. We’re calling this double dose the ENDLESS DUO. And it’s AVAILABLE ½ OFF starting the 11th.
We’ll be reminding you everywhere on Valentine’s Day – appropriate, right? – so you won’t miss it!
Another exciting thing is that we will be revealing some special ENDLESS: ENCORE merch, videos and music leading up to the release of the book! So, stay tuned on my social media for all the goodness as we share!
So, I guess, the last thing is – go pre-order if you haven’t!
I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU (7.23.22)SO EXCITED to announce one more event this year which is one more chance to make good on my New Years Resolution to meet more of my amazing readers.
I will be at Seattle Readers and Writers on July 23 rd !
HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING?If you’re on my newsletter, I hope you also follow me on social media. I’ll put my links below if you’re not yet. But, I have been posting some clips of a project I’m working on. Have you been listening? Less Than Zero is bringing you an EP. I am so excited to be working on this with some of the most talented and iconic people in the music industry and will have more to write on this soon but I wanted to touch on it to tell you to get ready because you will be blown away.
SOFT LIKE THUNDER (2.3.22)My friend, Julia Wolf, has a great dark college romance called Soft Like Thunder that just came out. It’s Book 1 in a new series called Savage U, so you can start at the beginning and dive into something fresh!
I highly recommend checking it out and the other books in her catalog that might explore your favorite tropes.
As always, thank you for your love and support. If you can take the time to write a review on Amazon, GoodReads or BookBub, I would so appreciate it and if you haven’t signed up for my Master List yet – please do! You’re the best, Rockstars!
Love,
Kaylene

SO MUCH AWESOMENESS – SAVE THE DATES!
Hi, Rockstars!
I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone the happiest of new years.
Our lives have been so disrupted for the past two years, let’s hope for a push towards normalcy in the coming months. One of the hardest things about launching my author journey during COVID is how challenging it has been to connect with you guys in person!
If all continues to plan, that’s about to CHANGE!
This newsletter is all about SAVING THE DATE because I have a lot coming up for you!
THE BOX SET (1.31.22)Mark down January 31st! That’s when the Less Than Zero: Box Set is released! I know some of you have been waiting to read them all together to enter the LTZ World and now is the time.
You can PRE-ORDER the Box Set here.
I’m really excited because we also included some special bonus content. You know those heartthrob posters you would get from Teen Beat? Let’s just say, we included plenty of collectible heartthrob content of your favorite book band boyfriends, Less Than Zero!
TIMELESS IS ON SALE! (1.22.22)I’m doing a ONE DAY promotion with Michelle Mankin and several other awesome Rockstar Romance Authors on Saturday, January 22nd! TIMELESS will be 99 cents! For ONE DAY ONLY, you can experience growing up and growing in love with Zane and Fiona for less than 1 dollar! I’d say that’s a happily ever after!
AUDIO BOOKS (3.17.22)
Where are my audiophiles at?! I know that some of my readers aren’t really “readers”. They are listeners! Well, we have ear candy coming!
My first 5 books – RESTLESS, ENDLESS, LIMITLESS, FEARLESS, and TIMELESS – are being released as audiobooks March 17.
JUST WAIT until you see their steamy covers! You’ll love them.
As a sneak peak, I’ll share our AWESOME narrators!
RESTLESS: Reginald James & Lynn Barrington
ENDLESS: Gregory Salinas & Sophie Daniels
LIMITLESS: Alexander Cendese & CJ Robins
FEARLESS: Richard Sawyer & Rose Dioro
TIMELESS: J.D. Tomlinson & Stella Hunter
ENDLESS: ENCORE (2.17.22)Tie a red ribbon around your finger if you must, to remember the sequel to ENDLESS is coming out on February 17th!
The cover was just revealed last week. Isn’t it lovely? ENDLESS: ENCORE is an emotional and triumphant story that is near and dear to my heart, and I think it’s going to tie up Ty and Zoey’s story for all of you perfectly.
I wrote ENCORE so that my readers could get to know Ty and Zoey more deeply as complex, layered individuals, and now adults. I hope you love growing and going on this new journey with them and I’m so excited for you to read it.
LET’S HANG OUT (4.9.22 & 10.1.22)Finally! One of my resolutions this new year is Covid be damned, to meet more of my readers! I’m super excited to announce two appearances for next year (so you can start planning!) I really hope to meet some of you! These events are going to be a blast.
Phew! I hope you were able to get all of that down. I’m so excited to share all of this with you and hope you love it all. Thank you for being apart of this fun and crazy Less Than Zero trip with me!
Love,
Kaylene

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
It’s my second holiday season as a romance author and this year has been so incredibly fun.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to wish all of you a wonderful time with friends, family and – of course – books!
I’m planning on a very low-key Christmas with me, my husband and my sweet pup. We will be playing “Santa” to our godchildren and enjoying a few more holiday parties with our friends. There are several books on my TBR list that I hope to settle by a roaring fire and indulge in. This weekend, I’m starting LIMITLESS Encore as well as my new novella for the Rockstars Ball 2022 Anthology (more Carter anyone??)
COLD WEATHER MERCH
If you’re looking for last minute or belated Christmas gifts, check out our merch store. We have cold weather LTZ merch as well like beanies, sweatshirts, and jackets. All of it is cute as hell and will keep you cozy all winter long.
So, how does FREE sound? Good? Well, I have something for you!
On 1/30 and 1/31, Rockstar’s Ball will be free on Amazon! You can get the anthology which compiles 8 interconnected rockstar romance stories (including my sequel novella to ENDLESS called HELPLESS) for ZERO PENNIES. Don’t miss it!
Lastly, I want to remind you to join my masterlist. It’s where you get news first – including access to ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies), book release information and more!
All my love,

BOOK BOXES
I know I’ve been talking a lot about merch recently with the opening of my new store and boy, there is a lot of great LTZ stuff but maybe that isn’t really your thing. If you’re a big reader like me, you may just love a book box. I know there are lots of different book boxes, so what the heck makes a Kaylene Winter one different?
Each box is especially curated by me to immerse you in each book. There are little things in each box that will have you smiling to yourself with memories from the stories. But what is really special is that we’ve included luxurious, hand-poured, soy wax candles that smell like each of the guys. Seriously!
Who wouldn’t want to curl up and read a book with the smell of Connor, Jace, Ty or Zane warming the room? We have a very limited number of boxes available so once they are gone, they are gone.
Speaking of collection boxes – did you hear about The Less Than Zero Boxset? It’s being released on January 31st but we just revealed the gorgeous cover with the whole band!
View the Trailer for the Boxset Here:
Comment on social media and let me know what you think of the trailer and cover!
Until next week,
Kaylene Winter

BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY
The holidays are here and while it’s a time to think about what you’re grateful for (by the way, I’m grateful for you, dear reader), it’s also a time to shop until you drop.
If you haven’t checked out my new merch store yet, I highly recommend it. I have some pretty great stuff and really something for everyone.
If you’re reading this, I have a special discount code just for you. That’s right! 15% OFF in my brand new merch store just for being a reader but it’s only valid from Black Friday to Cyber Monday so act quick!
Have you read TIMELESS yet? Yes?
Well, here’s something else to read!
A FEATURE in the NEW YORK POST. TIMELESS is getting its own write up releasing on 11/25/2012 (that’s Black Friday – are you sensing a theme, folks?) and I think it’s pretty deserving!
Pick one up if you can.
Stay Grateful,
