JUNE NEWSLETTER

Your Monthly E-Book Treasure Hunt for a Good Read. 



Now that is some road! It's Arthur’s Pass through the Southern Alps, in South Island, New Zealand. My home. I hadn't seen this stretch before and boggled at the engineering skills involved. No wonder it took so long to build. It's a fantastic road trip and the rail trip is as scenic too, but I look down that gorge and wonder how those first peoples ever managed to find their way through. It's exciting tramping but dangerous as it looks so easy to access on tracks now. It's mountain country and the weather changes swiftly and drops from sunny day to icy winter in minutes. How did those surveyors find the way? It's questions like that which make me write historical fiction.

An interesting selection of historical fiction available for you this month as well as the usual jumble of novels which tumble out of writers' heads. I do sometimes wonder about the Fantasy novels though, being a fan of Tolkien and Patricia McKillip, who were scholars of Old English and that core of work which is the base of our myths and legends.

Watch the deadlines and don't miss out.

URGENT DEADLINES again this month. WATCH FOR numbers 3 and 16 and 21, dates, 28th, 14thand 15th

MAY newsletter: Free Reads and Bargain Buys in Your Inbox Right Now Just For You

 Free Reads and Bargain Buys in Your Inbox

The end of April, the 25th to be precise, is ANZAC Day. That's like your November 11th Memorial Day, you northern hemisphere folk. We remember the deaths of all Australian and New Zealand service people and especially the Army Corps (the ANZACs) troops' April 25th landing in 1915 (WWI) at the wrong beach and under gunfire at Gallipoli. The aim was to land on the Gallipoli Peninsula and capture the Dardanelles, the gateway to the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. Details here ANZAC https://www.rsa.org.nz/about/anzac-day-resources

I mention it be because it always brings up the problem of explaining to children and the international tourists what the word lest means as we repeat it several times during the services as we promise and say 'Lest we forget.' Consulting my complete Oxford Dictionary leaves me full of old English explanations and how, when used in front of a verb, it is supposed to remind us by making us remember what we want to forget. Try explaining all that! I simply say it's an old word meaning we must not forget! If any of you have a better translation I'd love to hear it.

Lots of historical books this month and I hardened my heart to their pleadings and refused most of my fellow authors SF and Fantasy promotions or we'd have been swamped again like last month. Might have to do the same next month with the general genre and crime promos. It is difficult to say no when I personally know how hard it is to get readers to see your books.

APRIL NEWSLETTER lots of free and baragain ebooks

 

APRIL NEWSLETTER

Monthly E-Book Treasures: Great Deals Await!



 

April brings the cherry blossom. It's such a joyous time in Japan, a spiritual renewal in their religious calendar, and means the end of those fiercely cold and difficult winters. Spring is here and life continues, and they enjoy the cherry blossom viewing parties and write brief poems to the fleeting beauty of the blossom, their lives and their world.

In our upside down world I'm launched into autumn and crunching all those beautiful coloured leaves underfoot. You northern hemisphere folk are looking forward to the summer sun and we, down south, are anticipating a winter with more of these destructive rain storms. In a world which seems to be going crazily off kilter I hope you find a book in this list to escape into and give you some relief. Reading is such a sanity saver. Stay safe everyone.

URGENT DEADLINES again this month

Number 17 I am dubious about. If anyone else prefers not to see that type of cover and isn't interested in this type of fantasy please let me know. I do know a couple of you like it which is why it's included today but not if others object..
