Have you ever read a book and thought it so good you ought to write a review? But then worry about how long the review should be and what should you write?

Why not only put a few words. Authors like to know what you really thought of their work so that they can improve it if necessary. For Sue and Nyria it's not about adding more customers and sales (although that helps us to keep going) we'd like to know what readers honestly thought of our books.

Try some of the following:

Good reading

Nice romance

Nice fantasy

Enjoyed this book

Like this author

Recommend this book

 

or anything else you'd like to say.

And of course if you'd rather not write anything - that's okay too.

 

Well June is half way through, this year is zooming past. Unfortunately June is the tax return month for me. It only took me a week to ten days this year. Usually takes nearly a month to get everything right. The weather here has turned cold, frost in the morning, condensation on the windows and chilly when I go out for a walk, but nice when I come back in the warmth of the apartment.

Special offers will be available on July 1st for the whole month. Don't forget to read the newsletter that week as there might be something that suits you.

This is a reminder that if you want a romance, light and easy to read, then my Village of Shadows boxset might suit your needs. 

There are four books all set in the village of Deden. Each new person believes there is some hidden mystery with the existing residents, but danger also hovers in the background. Read all four for only 99cents in total.

Happy reading - whatever you decide to read.

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good day. As most of you are in the Northern Hemisphere I presume the sun is shining and you're enjoying the warmth after the cold of winter. I'm in the Southern Hemisphere but although we're almost in winter, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Bit windy though.

Some of the people on my lists were offered a chance to get a free fantasy book from my own bookstore. Now I'm offering it to everyone - plus a romance boxset at a special price.

The free book can be accessed by visiting my shop (Caishel Books) where you will be asked to subscribe to the newsletter to be able to access the free book (yes I know you're subscribed on my list but I will be changing over in the next few months and wouldn't want to assume you will want to stay). Subscribing should take you to the book (The Sixth Key) and if you click on the "Add to Cart" you will be sent to the checkout where the discount will be applied. This will run until 31st May 2025.

There is a possibility that your email provider will not give the distributor's email access to your email address, if this happens then please go to the address below and check if this is the case. If you still can't get the free book please contact me and I'll look into it.

Postmark app 

The boxset is my Village of Shadows series of four books. These are contemporary romance books and are available at 99 cents USD for the set. To find the book, click on the link below. This isn't discounted but I would appreciate you joining the newsletter so that you can learn about new releases and discounts

Village of Shadows 

Regarding delivery the same applies as above. Visit Postmark app and if there's still problems contact me on info@superkinsauthor.com

Happy reading to everyone

 Not sure if I mentioned this before but I have started a Shopify Shop and also added a new blog to it. Up until now everything in late 2024 and 2025 have been put on both blogs, but eventually I will transfer to the Shopify one. Want a look? Here's the link.

While I'm here I must advise the outcome of the survey you all so kindly took part in. It's given me quite a bit to think about.

Book                                        111

Blurb                                        116

Size of Print                              96

Reviews                                   114

Authors                                    123 

I should have also asked if you like ebooks, print books or audiobooks, but I even though I designed it with this question, for some reason it didn't come across to the form. If you want to comment on this please leave a comment on either blog. Thanks. 

Most of the comments were as follows:

The forword in a book;
mood;
read a couple of books before deciding to follow an author;
like clean--no sex before marriage;
free/kindle unlimited;
would like the option of fonts and font sizes used for printed or ebookthings that work on a cellphone can be a nightmare on on a large desktop-- and vice versa;
neutral off-white works better on small screens than a true white;
make sure the title and blurbs tell the truth about the book;
price - high priced books are too expensive for many, even if they have everything the reader is looking for in a book.

 I would like to say re the price. If you go to your library a lot of ebooks are on Hoopla - the library's ebook  programme which is free to download (at least it is in New Zealand). You're usually allowed to keep the book for 30 days, then the access is revoked.

Also Libby is another one that the libraries use, but not sure if that's free.

 The four book in the series of Cloud Kingdoms are now on Kindle Unlimited. If you belong to KU you can read all four for free. 

The books are still available on the normal Kindle and from 3rd to 5th July the first book - Blue and Silver - Caishel will be free to all on Amazon. Download and read it to see if it's your type of book.

Here are the four books - hope you enjoy the series.

Blue and Silver - Caishel
Caishel, disguised as a male urchin, accepts a job as a page in the floating castle of Ardon. Ailan, the Sire she works for, immediately discovers his page is a woman, but keeps this knowledge to himself, despite his growing attraction to her. Caishel longs to tell Ailan the truth but confession could put her in danger. Circumstances eventually force her to reveal her true identity and, like a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly, Caishel marries Ailan. He inherits a dukedom and they move to Lan where danger appears to follow Ailan, but the spiritual Eos offer their help.

Russet and Gold - Elisette
Capet Sard helps farm girl Lise obtain a job as nursemaid in the floating Castle of Lan, and love blossoms between the noble and the servant. Sard is called home to Rak and shortly after his departure Lise discovers she is pregnant. She stows away on a ship to Rak but when she disembarks she gets lost in the desert. Rescued by the spiritual Eos, Lise finishes the journey on foot but Brenauf, the new Duke of Rak and an old adversary of Sard’s, captures her. The duke’s inability to run Rak causes many of his nobles to question whether he is the true heir. 
Miserable, pregnant and frightened for her baby's welfare, Lise can see no way out of her captivity. Sard and the Eos attempt to save Lise. Failure could mean disaster for Rak and the whole planet of Hejmen.
 
Ebony and Ivory - Tazia
Tazia is petrified of her first night with Duke Robard, her new husband by an arranged marriage, because her father’s mistress has told her alarming tales of husband's rights. Robard is patient with her but their union remains unconsummated. They learn to work together, but intimacy evades them. 
A strange illness begins to decimate the spiritual Eos, decimating their already small numbers. Tazia and Robard work together and put their personal problems aside while they help the Eos avoid extinction. 
The Eos discover recent visitors were not from the other known tribes and research points to a lost tribe in the Pator area. Tazia and Robard set out on a journey of discovery to find the lost ones. Without the Eos the planet will die and this will mean the end of humanity on Hejmen.
 
Emerald and Amber - Zaeyen
Zaeyen's intended marriage to a neighbouring duke’s son is meant to save her father's estate, but the groom is cruel and threatens his betrothed. Zaeyen believes if she finds the Eos, who disappeared many centuries ago, it will save the planet and there will be no need for her to marry. She goes in search of the spiritual Eos and on her way meets Kade, a hero of the common folk. Kade joins her in the search and they battle through thirst, hunger and capture to reach their goal. The planet of Hejmen is dying and only the Eos can revive it, but do the spirits still exist and if they do, will they be willing to help the humans?
