Jacqueline Diamond's Blog - Posts Tagged "free-books"

Please check Smashwords.com this week (March 5-11). Many of my books will be discounted as much as 75 percent. Also, a couple will be free, including A Lady's Point of View (Regency) and How to Write a Novel in One (not-so-easy) Lesson.

I've also just posted on Amazon two newly revised romantic comedies that I hope will make you laugh. They are Punchline and Sandra and the Scoundrel. Sandra is a minor character in Punchline who I thought was too much fun not to tell her story!

Upcoming: I'm planning to post for presale my new mystery, The Case of the Surly Surrogate, featuring a doctor who helps solve mysteries. It should go on presale this month with a target publication date of May 1. Please watch my website, www.jacquelinediamond.com for details. And while you're on the site, I hope you'll sign up for my newsletter, too.

Please note: when I post a book on Amazon, it's exclusive to them for three months. Then I post it on Barnes and Noble, iBooks, Smashwords and other sites. This is a sales strategy and I apologize for any inconvenience to my readers.

With six more romantic comedies to re-edit and re-release, and of course a new mystery to write, I'm planning on a busy 2017!

This month, please enter to win one of 5 free print copies of my new mystery, The Case of the Surly Surrogate, at Goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

But Spike’s Aunt Jill, who’s adopting her orphaned nephew, sees heartbreak ahead. It's available at Google Play, Amazon, iBooks, Kobo and Barnes&Noble.

As for what's new with me... I'm about two-thirds of the way through writing my 103rd book. The Case of the Desperate Doctor is the third in my Safe Harbor Medical Mysteries series. Estimated pub date will be around March of 2018.

Meanwhile, Harlequin has reverted the rights to me of eight more of my books, including several romance mysteries and some light family-oriented romantic comedies. I'm designing covers and lightly re-editing these to post over the next few months.

Theft is a big issue for authors. I'm referring to so-called "pirate" sites that offer free downloads of ebooks, PDFs, etc. Sometimes, they download a virus, too. Please don't download a free book from any site you aren't familiar with.

I pay for a service called Blasty to take these down from search engines (such as Chrome and Bing). In just a few months, they have taken down nearly 800 pages. One of them bragged about having downloaded 4,000 copies of one of my books. While not all of those readers would have bought the book, some of them might.

It's frustrating, costly and infuriating. I appreciate that many readers are on a tight budget, and may not be aware that these books are stolen. That's why I'm sharing this info.

Occasionally, I do offer a book for free, and I have a free novelette (What the Doctor Didn't Tell Her) posted on Amazon, B&N, Kobo and Smashwords. Next month, March 15-19, I've scheduled a giveaway of my romance mystery His Secret Son on Amazon. I hope my readers enjoy it!

This month, I have two special deals planned for my readers.

All month, my romance mystery Sheikh Surrender is on sale for 99 cents at Amazon. Here's the blurb: Someone lured a sheikh to Jenny’s doorstep and shot him dead. When his brother arrives seeking justice, he expects a temptress, but finds a young woman determined to protect herself and her 5-year-old daughter. The link for more info is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07938WZJ9/

And, as I mentioned in last month's blog, I'll be giving away another romance mystery, His Secret Son, on Amazon March 15-19. The blurb: A security expert, Dirk didn’t know he had a son. Now the boy and his mother desperately need his help as a killer closes in. The link: https://www.amazon.com/His-Secret-Son...

Don't miss all the info at my website, www.jacquelinediamond.com. I update regularly, so please stop by! And sign up for my free monthly newsletter while you're there. Thank you!

Today, March 15, through Monday, March 19, on Amazon, my romance mystery His Secret Son is free!

Dirk's a security expert who didn't know he had a son... with a mother who might be a killer.

Hope you enjoy it!
