I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is there’s no blog post this week.
The good news is I have a whole book for you!
I finally heeded all the “you need to have an email newsletter” advice I’ve been reading for years (which was reinforced in an online writers’ summit I attended last week). Now, the only newsletters I subscribe to are the ones from authors who give you a free book when you sign up so you can get a feel for their writing style before you decide if you want to buy a book from them. So I took the very first book I published in 2015, revised, updated, and reformatted it, and I’m giving it away to everyone who signs up for my newsletter.
The editing and reformatting was a little more involved than I’d expected, which is why I didn’t have time to work on a regular blog post this week. I’m hoping the free book will make up for that 🙂 Even if you’ve read this one before, I updated enough that I think it’d be worth your time to redownload it (assuming you liked what you read).
Why a newsletter?
Newsletters help creators keep in touch with people more reliably than social media. If you follow me on Facebook or Pinterest, for example, you probably won’t see all of my posts just because of how the algorithms work. A newsletter will also make it easier for me to share life updates, publishing info, and free resources, giveaways, and discounts. Plus, if any of you want to get in touch with me all you have to do is click “reply” to the email and you can write me a note.
I don’t want to clutter up your inbox, so my plan is to send out two emails a month (or every other week). You’ll get three emails pretty close together right after signing up so we can get to know each other and I can make sure you get your free book, then the frequency will drop down to every two weeks. If you’re subscribed to this blog by email, you’ll still receive weekly emails when I publish a new blog post; the newsletter is separate from that.
Thanks for reading (and thanks if you decide to sign up!). I look forward to hearing what you think of God’s Love Story.
