I am utterly and totally relieved to announced that my latest Christian holiday romance series, “Crazy Quilt Cabins Christmas,” is completed, published to the Internet, and available for purchase.
Why relieved, you may ask? The third and fourth novels in this four-book set were a bear to write. In this post, I talked about my struggles with Book Three. Nutshell: I kept abandoning it every few chapters, sometimes for weeks at a time. Then, when I’d written almost half of ’Tis the Season for Surprises, I realized it wasn’t working and went back and rewrote most of it. Thankfully, once I got on the right track, the rest went smoothly and I had no more major rewrites to do.
The fourth book, The Most Different Time of the Year, I wrote to its end before I realized it was trash and had to write the whole thing over again (Harper Lee, let’s start a club!).
I’ve never struggled this much to complete a novel. Usually, it takes me about six weeks to complete a short (50K words) novel, including final edits. Thus, when I began the first book in the series, I planned to finish writing the series by the end of 2023. Then the deadline moved to this past March.
It was mid-July (2024) when I finally typed, “THE END” on the last book. It felt like a boulder fell off my back when I did.
The first book in the series, Joy to Paul’s World, is free in every major online ebook store. The remaining books are 99 cents through September 6. On the seventh, I will increase the price to $3.99.
However, Books 2-4 are enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited program, if you subscribe to that. If not, you can purchase all four novels in boxed set form at ANY AND ALL of the major online bookstores, at a discounted price compared to purchasing each novel individually at its usual price.
Below is the book cover for each novel in the series. Click on the image to check it out in the Amazon Kindle store. If you don’t read on Kindle, here is the link that should lead you to the links in the other stores: https://books2read.com/u/4Xde2e.
Hope you enjoy them! 😀
