Hi, everyone!

I usually send just one newsletter monthly, but this is an extra because I want to share some links for two “online book sales” offering great bargains from many authors. Some might already be your favorites, but some might be new to you. Who knows—you might find some new favorite authors! Just click the links at the end of this newsletter to take a look. There are also a number of other bargains that follow.

Also, read to the end of the post to find a very special family recipe. Not fancy, but we have it every holiday because it was my mother’s favorite. Such sweet memories.

I’d also like to share news of my newest release, out on November 18^th.

FINAL CHANCE is the second of five novels in my Montana Secrets series, which will all be released by early spring.
CLICK HERE for the Amazon link. Here’s a quick blurb:

Arson. Attempted murder. And Kris Donaldson is the prime suspect. Why won’t anyone believe she’s innocent?

After years on the run from an abusive ex, Kris receives an unexpected inheritance, an acreage in the Rockies near a small, quaint mountain town. It’s her dream come true–a chance to establish an animal rescue and finally lead a peaceful life. Perhaps there’s even a chance of forever-after with the intriguing rancher next door.

But her dreams might just prove fatal.

A stalker will stop at nothing to destroy her new life. The threats are mounting. She’s being framed for heinous crimes. Her reputation, happiness, and in the end, her life is on the line. As always, she could cut her losses and run. But this time, there’s too much at stake.

This time, she’s going to stay.
