As I mentioned over on my main blog, I use reading books as a refuge from stress. The worse life gets, the more I read.

Which is why I dropped the price on a number of my ebooks yesterday to make it a little easier for others to find a way to escape, too. That included republishing Erelia, which I had unpublished simply because I didn’t know when I’d write the follow-up to that book. (Still don’t, FYI. It’s hard to write about a dystopia when the real world seems determined to turn into one.)

But anyway. I wanted to drop by here and give you links to the books I put on sale in case any of them look like something you could escape into.

It’s important right now to take care of ourselves, both mentally and physically. I’m walking my dog daily and binge-watching Chopped episodes on Hulu while also devouring a large number of books. (I’m about to start re-reading the Katherine Kerr Deverry books now that I got ahold of the first two that weren’t in my collection. Hopefully they hold up on a re-read. If not, I’ll be scouring various sources for some new-to-me authors to read.)

So anyway. Hope you’re well. Take care. Here are some books that are on sale in ebook.

Also has a pandemic subplot. (I had unpublished this one just because I thought it needed a sequel and I wasn’t sure when I’d write that sequel, so be forewarned.)

A Dead Man and Doggie Delights: (99 cents) First in what will soon be a six-book cozy mystery series set in the Colorado mountains. For lovers of Newfoundland dogs, Colorado, and quirky characters who like a little murder on the side. (Book 2, A Crazy Cat Lady and Canine Crunchies is also reduced to $2.99 USD.)
