The Year’s Top 3 Books, and a Smashing Ebook Sale

I don’t usually post twice in one week, but I want to let you know about a big ebook sale starting today, plus a fun thing for book-lovers to do as the year comes to a close.

What Are Your Top 3 Books of 2024?

Book recommendation site Shepherd started asking authors to rate their Top 3 Books of the year in 2023, but now, the fairly new site is set up to let readers weigh in too. So, which books stand out to you as your favorites from 2024? They don’t have to have been published this year; all that matters is that you read them this year.

Mine were The Mourning Parade by Dawn Reno Langley, The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon, and Dracula by Bram Stoker (a mixed bag of books, per usual, reflecting my eclectic reading tastes). Click on this image if you want to know why they were my faves.

Click here to rate your Top 3 Books of 2024. Shepherd makes it easy and fun, and they create a page with images for you like the one above. (Full disclosure: If you create your own list/page, a promo for my book will appear at the bottom of the page.)

Smashwords End of Year Ebook Sale

My ebooks are sold through many platforms, including Smashwords, an online bookstore that only sells ebooks. Smashwords’ End of Year Sale starts today, December 12, and runs through January 1, 2025, and it is massive. Hundreds of books, possibly thousands, are heavily discounted or even free during this promotion so be sure to check it out.

Three of my books are enrolled in the End of Year Sale:

• The Wallace House of Pain: A Novelette is $1.49 (50% off)
• Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is $2.99 (50% off)
• Shannon’s Odyssey, for ages 8-11, is $3.74 (25% off).

Smashwords is a relatively simple site, as you’ll see, which has been around for years. You’ll need to create an account, verify your email, and pay with PayPal or credit card. They can email the book right to the email associated with your Kindle if you want.

Happy Holidays!

I don’t expect to post again before Christmas, so here’s hoping you and your loved ones have a wonderful holiday filled with peace and joy.
