Hi Anna, thank you for the ebook gift. I don't have a kindle, and I'm not tech savvy, but I googled it, and I think I might be able to download it onto my PC. I'm going to view it as a challenge 😂Being able to read on a large screen is so much more appealing than on a phone. Also, I replied to the question Why do I write? on your blog, and now realise I was meant to view other peoples' answers, not contribute myself. The number of gaffs I've made since joining Goodreads must be record breaking! 🤣
Hi Rosemary, I've only just seen this. Gaffs? Oh yes, gaffs galore from me when I first joined. I wince every time I think of them. But yours wasn't a bad gaff, it rather made the blog post much more interesting.Yes, I read more on my Kindle now. As you say, being able to manage the font size is very appealing. Your challenge was successful, I know, because you so very kindly left a review.
I wish you every success with all that you do and may your choice of reading bring you heaps of enjoyment in 2022.
I can never think of a resolution that I’m likely to remember beyond the first few days. Failure! But I offer you one which will make you think hard, and three which are easy peasy.There’s also three more answers from authors to the question ‘Why do you write?’ Drop in to
https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
and see what they have to say – what drives them?
No ebooks on sale but
PAPERBACK is on Amazon in the US for $4.29 Makes a good present perhaps?
I wish you a happy and healthy new year.

February’s blog takes a look at two more authors’ reasons for writing. Writing takes up an awful lot of time so why do they do it?There’s also a poem by a Goodreads member and it sure will make you think. Are we all sometimes guilty of this? Can we change? Does giving an orange, banana or choccie bar help? You be the judge.
I’m also asking you to share on the blog your favourite stress reducers.

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.

There’s also a stress reliever tip for the tough times ahead.
If you go to my Goodreads blog: www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/2... you’ll see a little more information but I thought some of you might like to know that I haven’t been twiddling my thumbs for the last couple of years, I’m actually hoping to publish soon… hope is a wonderful thing, don’t you agree?Here’s some info on what should be published this September:
Title: Mistake in Time
Genre: Time Travel Romance
Available for sale: On Amazon Kindle and Paperback
Blurb: To keep this post shorter, the blurb is on my blog only at the moment.
Some chapter titles
Chapter One - A white sports car
Chapter Two - The old, musty case
Chapter Three - They will have no tomorrows
My first time travel romance, Hide in Time is a stand alone book and so is Mistake in Time but they share certain settings etc. This, apparently, means they are an 'anthology series'.
I hope you’ll enjoy a romp through time.
Have you ever made a mistake? Liberty made one that couldn’t be put right. In her haste to distance herself from her two-timing love-of-her-life, she sets off to go to Regency England. Simple. She knew exactly what to do to get there. What could go wrong?Find out more on https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
“…rooted for her, as she tried to courageously navigate through her problems…”
If you fancy going on a journey that goes wrong (!) please take a look at Mistake in Time
I opened my emails at the beginning of October and got a shock. One of my oldest books had won a prize and I began to look at the dear old thing with new eyes – the eyes of the Readers’ Favorite reviewer, who is now one of my favourite people!“One Dark Night by Anna Faversham is a very good book offering romance, danger, adventure, mystery, excitement and so much more and I found it was very hard to put down. I really was rooting for Lucy to end up with a good life for all the grief she had endured and was hoping she would pick the man I liked best. I also hoped that all the bad people would get what they deserved. Anna Faversham did a perfect job of combining all the elements into one winning story and I highly recommend One Dark Night be added to your reading list.”
I hope you will like
as much as the reviewer did.If you take a look at my blog https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog... if you wish you can also tell us how a particular choice changed your life.
https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...Blog with bargains? Yay! A blog with two bargains - more yays!
Time travel romance. If you like a romance with a little bit of mystery, a touch of humour and something of the thriller, then please grab a copy and visit another time, another place. From 31st March
Time Travel Romance: Landing in Swinging London wasn't in the plan - but it sure is fun. Pursued by both a goodie and a baddie, Liberty runs into a few problems, to say the least. Will she ever get to her coveted life in Regency England or must she settle for something completely different? From 27th March.Both are 0.99 for 7 days and, of course, if you are a Kindle Unlimited member, they are free! Something to read during the Easter break perhaps?
What else has this blog got? There’s a very short Easter story for readers and you can tell us what your favourite genre is in the comments section. Authors really like to know who likes what!
And there’s a question for authors too.
Then there’s a completely daft ‘Random Act of Kindness’ and a couple of good ones to help this troubled world.
So here’s the link again: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
This book gives you a glimpse of what lies beyond... (or does it?)
“The pacing is great. The dialog is great. The sense of place is … phenomenal.”
“…you’ll love watching Chester’s world slowly unravel.”
“I realised just how clever the plot is”
“His yearning for Kate was also intriguing; what had happened between them, would they be reunited?”
“…the storytelling is so skilled that the layers of meaning are revealed and understood in good time, and to powerful effect. A compelling novel that I didn’t want to put down, this is a highly-recommended read.”
All the above are Goodreads’ reviewers and are obviously intelligent, kind, wonderful people! I promise I am not related!
If you pop along to my blog, you’ll find an excerpt too:
https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
It’s good to treat yourself occasionally and at 0.99 it doesn’t cost much. (US and UK)

Maybe you want to get into the heads of the smugglers? Or those who want to hang the smugglers? Or perhaps you’d like to follow the girl who has to make a decision about these two men?And this is what reviewers say about just one of the books: “A great historical fiction with all the elements of a classic”, “ Dark romantic mystery on a knife edge throughout”, “Romance, danger, adventure, mystery, excitement and so much more”, “A gripping tale”, “A cracking good book”, “Highly Recommended”.

Interview with a talented authorI don’t have time to read as many books as I would like but I have read several of Gail Meath’s and here is what I said about one of them: “Oh what joy; an immensely satisfying read with the pace increasing until it becomes impossible to put down. Meticulous plotting, what a story!”

Merry Christmashttps://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
Something a little different this month as this is the month when many of us will be scratching our heads (or whatever you do when you absolutely have to do some thinking). What to buy for Christmas presents? Easy: a book. It’s something that lasts, can be treasured, can be shared and most of all can bring joy – and that is precisely what Christmas tends to do.
I’ve done your searching for you. Ahem. Three of my paperback books have been reduced in price to the very lowest that Amazon allows for authors in their Kindle Direct Publishing. At their very lowest, the author receives nothing. So that’s me! I’d like them to have been even cheaper but Amazon have to make their money…

It’s a Wonderful Worldhttps://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
I’ve recently returned from a trip Down Under and I spent some time at a favourite beauty spot, a café in Scorching Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. Munching brunch, I remembered a scene from one of my books set just around the headland in Breaker Bay which features in
“Suddenly he saw it: the most magnificent roller advancing steadily towards the shore. A shout went up and all paddled furiously towards the beguiling breaker. He caught the wave, stood and steadied himself. The magic carpet took off; he was flying once again. For a few precious moments the exhilaration bore him up to surfers’ heaven – no drug could compare.”
And then something shocking happened.
And it’s reduced to 0.99 in the US and UK from 25th February to 1st March 2024.
Also FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

In the US on 4th July you are celebrating: here in the UK we have a General Election. On 5th July, the UK will be reeling from the results – whatever they are.Many people are worried about the future. I found on my travels earlier this year that our friends in New Zealand and Australia have similar worries to us. Friends in the US and Canada say the same. Thousands of miles away, yet we face similar worries and threats.
Many writers and health practitioners over the years have given us tips on how to cope with worries. As a reader and writer, I would say: read a good book. And it’s true, isn’t it? If you get lost in a book, you’re in another world.

One person who found he was up to his ears in trouble is Chester. Chester manages to get through some horrendous situations but eventually he helps others on the way. As an investigative journalist, he’s come up against a crime gang. And when he gets to New Zealand, he finds life is not quite what he imagined and he narrowly misses… well, I’d better not give out any spoilers.
It's on a Kindle Countdown Deal from Thursday 27th June, through until 3rd July 2024. For 0.99 if you live in the UK or US, or not much more if you’re unable to get the deal. And, of course it is FREE on Kindle Unlimited.
is 0.99 until midnight on 2nd August 2024 for those in the UK and US.
Is it worth buying? Well it’s won a Readers’ Favorite Bronze Award and here’s a review from a Goodreads’ member:
Anna Faversham not only has a wonderful magical imagination, she does her research well. Her descriptions are so vivid I felt like I was there watching and listening to the voices, the sea, and the flute. I highly recommend this book to all lovers of history or romance.
also 0.99 until midnight on 2nd August in the UK and US
Want to know more about what Karl, Daniel and Lucy get involved with? Here’s a 5 star review from Readers’ Favorite:
Author Anna Faversham has crafted a riveting romantic novel that immersed me in a world of suspense, intrigue, and moral ambiguity where the right path is hard to see, but well worth finding. The author's vivid descriptions and rich historical detail gripped me right away and brought the setting to life, evoking a sense of urgency and danger with each turn of the page. The complex dynamics between the characters, particularly the fraught relationship between Karl and Daniel, were authentically penned with distinct character voices, exploring themes of redemption, loyalty, and the consequences of past actions in a naturalistic fashion. The relentless pursuit of justice against the backdrop of smuggling operations and the tyranny of the Dark Star is an exciting premise that gives a lot of complex and interesting story dynamics, and the challenges that the smuggling world presents to the characters kept me captivated throughout. Overall, Under a Dark Star is a highly recommended read that lingers in the mind long after the final chapter.
Just when life’s looking good, someone comes along and spoils it – big time!
Here’s another review from the respected Readers’ Favorite website:
Author Anna Faversham uses a keen sense of character and nuance to craft a deeply emotional journey that fully explores the impact of despair and the importance of resilience. The plot is paced to slowly build on intertwining elements of love, betrayal, and redemption against the backdrop of historical tumult, which is crafted to match the mood of each scene to the emotional tone of the action taking place. Faversham's prose is evocative and rich as a result, drawing readers into the turbulent lives of Lucy, Karl, and Daniel as they grapple with their inner demons and external threats, and there’s never a dull moment as we get more and more invested in them as people. The suspenseful plot kept me on the edge of my seat, while the exploration of dark, wounded hearts leaves a strong impression and a conclusion to the trilogy that fans of the existing series will no doubt find satisfying. Overall, One Dark Soul is a highly recommended read for fans of compelling historical fiction that’s packed with depth and emotion.
So you can buy all 3 books in the Dark Moon Series for 2.97 (US & UK) or 0.99 each or you can read for FREE if you belong to Kindle Unlimited.
Enjoy your sunny days and curl up with some good books on your Kindle. Thanks to all those who've read them already and huge thanks to those who have left good reviews.

Now the sneaky peek at the forthcoming release of another Time Travel. Here's the opening sentence:
“From the outside Eleanor saw no discernible reason why Flint Cottage should be dirt cheap to rent.”
If you were offered somewhere that looked like a dream cottage in an English country village and it was dirt cheap, would you take it without viewing it? Perhaps you would if there was usually very little available to rent at a price you could afford? Perhaps you would if you had walked out on a no-good two-timing whatsit and had nowhere else to go? Might it seem like a dream come true?

Beware the Midnight Train – October release of spooky mysteryhttps://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
If you follow the link it’s a short cut to more information about a shivers-down-the-spine mystery. Some of the characters never get to shiver, some are cool even in the face of… of what? Just be careful to check you’re getting on the right train.
In the blog you’ll start to get the ‘feel’ of the book, so please take a look and let me know what you think of the title.
If you’re in the northern hemisphere I expect the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. For Ellie, the young lady who’s chosen to live in Flint Cottage, it’s spring and the days should be getting longer. But sometimes the days get much shorter and so do the nights. She should have known better. But at least it’s not boring.Chapter Four – A few drawbacks. (Life’s like that, isn’t it?)
Chapter Five – Real cool . (If you saw a ghost, would you be real cool?)
Chapter Six – Do you believe in ghosts? (What on earth can you say?)

Quotation from Beware the Midnight Train:
‘Don’t try to predict your future – be brave, create it. And create it she would! The past is behind. Her future begins today.’
I didn’t intend to launch this spooky book close to Halloween – it was meant to be finished in July or August. ‘Things’ got in the way. Ghosts will be ghosts and it seems I was overuled, so late October it is then.If you’ve been following my other blog posts in the past couple of months, you’ll know something about this time travel book (with a slow burning romance bumbling along). But did I mention that the ghosts want Ellie to do something for them? The dishy vicar cautions Ellie. The loveable, zany, almost famous neighbour cautions her too. Does she take any notice? Okay, you can guess the answer – but would you? And when you find out the worrying consequences of time travel, would you still be determined to seek justice?
Beware the Midnight Train will be reduced until 14th November so please take a look soon. Here's the link:
The paperback will be published on 25th October.

What is it about?
It’s a time travel romance about a love that never died : Laura finds herself washed ashore from a shipwreck early in the 21st century - she'd stormed off from her betrothed in 1814 so she's somewhat confused as to how this could happen. She likes her new life but she realizes she has made a terrible mistake.
Meanwhile, Xandra even hates her name as well as all the other bothersome things of modern day life and Laura happens to notice this. Could she...? Yep, she could, and she does. Back goes Xandra to 1814 only to be met with suspicious travelling companions, a highwayman and a delicious man who is still mourning the death of the girl he loved.
How do these two cope with their puzzling new lives? And how does Laura manage not to upset the course of history despite her meddling? And oh boy can she meddle!
