FYI — I have an email newsletter to help folks keep up with my latest book releases, ebook sales, and more.

I try to send out my newsletter twice a month. Usually, I will do a short newsletter if I have a new book out, am running an ebook sale, etc. — whatever “big” news that I might have that month.

Then I will do a longer, monthly-type newsletter with all my latest news, along with a recipe and some info about new genre books coming out; some movie/TV show recommendations; or something else fun.

I like designing the newsletter, figuring out what new photo of Kitty Boodle I can include in it, and giving shout-outs to other authors/books that I’m looking forward to reading. Why? I think because it reminds me of laying out features pages way back when I used to work for a daily newspaper. I always enjoyed messing around with photos, graphics, etc. and trying to make a page look as eye-catching as possible. I know just enough about graphics and design to be dangerous. LOL.

Designing my newsletter is a nice break for my brain from writing, but it still makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something constructive for my books/business.

Note: If you enter one of my giveaways (like the ones I run at Fresh Fiction), then you will get automatically subscribed to my newsletter. That’s pretty much how all giveaways work these days. You get a chance to win stuff, and whoever is doing the contest gets to grow their mailing list. You can unsubscribe from my newsletter at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of the newsletter.

Thank you for reading.
