FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER free and bargain e-books

 

FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER 

Japanese Blessing Ceremony

(chasing away the demons)

Memories, such memories, surface when looking through my Japanese photographs and postcards. The sounds and scenes, the smells and scents, the tastes, all little details I need to help me write my new set of Japanese stories. So many vivid pictures from such a fascinating culture and always with the sound of the Taiko (drums.) I'll share some more of the fantastical ones.

A good collection of books for you this month. As always many are free. Keep safe in the snow and rain all you northern hemisphere folk, whilst we in the southern hemisphere have to dodge dangerous winds. Take time out with one of these books.

JANUARY NEWSLETTER 

Japanese Lucky New Year's Lanterns

A large number of books for you this month. As always many are free and I’ve enjoyed reading a few of them. Snuggle up and stay warm up there in the northern hemisphere whilst we're hoping for more sun and beach days here in the southern hemisphere. Wherever you are don't forget to take time out and escape the day's disasters by reading a good book.

For those you asking about print copies of 'Salt Run: The Heir's Last Hope' an adventure from Old Japan they are held up whilst we work out how to get Amazon to accept the illustrations which were made from my photographs and postcards by a Japanese colleague, but she used A.I. to assist her. I'm having to find an artist who is happy to just copy what I have. Most artists prefer to be creative and create the pictures!
