Hi ,

Where I live the autumn is definitely coming. The days are getting colder and the nights are drawing in. It won't be long until we have to put the clocks back an hour and the evenings will seem even darker earlier. But I reckon that's an excellent reason to curl up somewhere warm with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate.

If you've not read my Choices and Consequences series yet you can get Strand of Faith, the first book in the series, free by clicking here. The series is a love story that starts just before Christmas and travels through nearly a year in my characters' lives - in fact it concludes around this time of year, so it's pretty seasonal.

If you have read it, then I've got some more free books for you - you're bound to find something new in our Fantasy or Sweet and Clean Romance giveaways.

This giveaway is Fantasy for All - urban, epic and romantic fantasy suitable for young adults and up. These books are heavy on adventure but low on swearing and sex.  Not exclusively young adult, they may feature characters of all ages and inclinations but romantic scenes will be tasteful, consensual, and fade to black before things get too crazy. There are around 40 books here, available free until 1st November so get your copies now.

And don't forget the Sweet and Clean Romance giveaway also available until 1st November. All these books are all sweet, clean or Christian romances - no swearing, no sex and no suggestive situations. Get them here.

Coming up next time (and already available here) we have Strong Heroines - an all genre giveaway where every book features a female main character who can be seen as a positive role model. This giveaway lasts until 20th November and I'll tell you more about it next time - but if you'd like an early look, just click here.

If you need something to read your free books on, here's the link for the monthly eReader giveaway - again it's only open until the end of October, so enter now.

For the curious, this is Richard Booth's bookshop in Hay on Wye
(fantastic place) and that's Zebbie and Saffy sitting there. If you've read the full Choices and Consequences series, Zebbie (on the left) is the original model for Taylor. And if you don't know who Taylor is, you'll have to read the series to find out!

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with more news for you. In the meantime, stay safe and well and happy reading.
