Ketchup: Chirrup Changes, Goodreads & Fun Stuff

Through no fault of my own, August was a month of fixing and changing things. So here is a bit of a ketchup post for you, my dear Gentle Reader.

Newsletter Switcheroo

Many of you have been long time members of my newsletter, the Chirrup, as well as this blog (yes it’s different stuff). Well, I’m delighted to say that this month we jumped from one newsletter handler (MailChimp) to another (MailerLite).

You shouldn’t see any changes on your end when the September Chirrup goes out.

That said…

If you have had trouble signing up for the newsletter in the past, now is the time to try again.

Please remember check your spam filters and “Promotions” tabs if it’s not showing up. The next Chirrup I’ll have some audiobook codes for audible to give away.

Chirrup members will get Romancing the Werewolf cover art reveal soon as well as the option to win audiobook download codes (Poison or Protect).

What’s Else Is Up Right Now?

I’m putting Romancing the Werewolf into production (November 5th, everyone! You can add it on Goodreads), editing Competence, and writing the second San Andreas Shifters book. So if I’m a little quiet and absent, that’s why. Good excuses, no?

You can add Competence on Goodreads expected publication Summer 2018.

“What’s the name you Poms have for that thing where you jump up and down and hit each other with sticks?”
“Sex?”
“Gardening?”
He snapped his fingers. “Morris dancing.”
