Anna Faversham's Blog: The Joseph Store is a brilliant idea for difficult times

Injections of Joy

We’ve heard a lot about injections lately and we’re told they’re doing a good job. There’s another injection doing a good job: something unexpectedly cheerful can feel just like an injection of joy. I won a prize! Definitely unexpected and definitely something good.

There’s also the usual sage saying, handy hint and stress reducer. And news of three of my books being reduced to as low as £0.77/$0.99 (similar prices for all markets) or a little bit more for the other three.

Hop on over to https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog... and share your idea of an injection of joy. Children? Grandchildren? Holiday? Meeting someone new and super...? Finally being able to meet in church together again, or a restaurant, or concert?

November’s blog post has something for everyone.

There’s something for readers – want to choose an Indie author for me to interview?

Something for authors – want to have a mini interview?

Something for everyone – fancy writing a drabble and posting it in the comments? Go ahead, have fun. A drabble is a very short story – exactly one hundred words, no less, no more.

And the cat’s been crying again. Ignored apparently.



And the cat is not what she seems.

I hope you’ll take a look at the answers to the question “Why do you write?” Three authors have responded. It’s a bit like saying “What makes you tick?” Let’s see what goes on in their heads!

And, as the heading says, there’s a gift for you – a free world-wide gift of an ebook so long as you get to it between 5th and 9th December.

★MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE★

And for those who don’t celebrate Christmas – I hope you will have a wonderful time as we run up to yet another new year – happy holidays!

And for authors, would you like to tell readers of the blog your favourite opening line from the first chapter of any one of your books?

As usual, there’s a bargain for readers:




One Dark Night is reduced to 0.99 in the UK & US until 6th April and, of course, it is FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

Here’s how BookBub describes it: “English Lieutenant Karl Thorsen won’t rest until he hangs smuggler Daniel Tynton for his crimes. Caught between them is Lucy Yorton, a young woman torn away from her life of privilege and thrown into a whirlpool of temptation and betrayal. Can she decide where her heart truly lies?”

The Joseph Store

Regular readers of my blog will know I like to chat about not only books but also good ideas for life. The Joseph Store is worth checking out in these difficult times, there's information on the blog. In times of inflation, it saves you money and that’s just for starters.

If you have ideas that help out in times of inflation, uncertainty and rising costs of everything except your income, please join in and leave a comment. And readers, it’s a good idea to check out the blog more than once because April’s blog received 49 comments so it’s worth seeing what others had to say.

Here it is: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...



is on sale for 0.99 in US and UK and also FREE on Kindle Unlimited until 7th May. Here’s what a Goodreads reviewer had to say about it:

What a beautifully written book. I instantly fell in love with the characters and cared about what happened to them. I loved the history, the little gems of information which sent me off to research further and the concept of the story. I found it believable even though it’s a work of imagination and fiction. Hide in Time is a must read for all those looking for a well written book in which to lose oneself. Highly recommended.
