I’ll keep this one brief, I am sure everyone has more things to do than read another email!
World building blogs will resume next year. If you are a writer struggling with some aspect of world building, feel free to reply to this email and suggest a topic. If you need help with marketing graphics and such, remember I do this as a side hustle, and have gift cards available for that struggling author in your life. All proceeds go to an animal charity.
I’ll wrap up the year with a series of links to free books, which is always nice after the expenses of the holiday season.
All my self published books are free on the Smashwords end of year sale, so nip along and grab up some bargains. There are a heap of different genres from a huge number of authors. Click on this link for the general promo. Here is another link for my books. You can also gift these to people, so surprise everyone with a nice ebook!

There are two freebie short stories on offer with the newsletter, a scifi ‘When Earth needed heroes’ and a two story set of romance in the later years in ‘New Beginnings’. Sign up here.
After a free fantasy read that will take you back to the books of your younger years? Spend Winter again fighting the White Witch, journey through darkest Mirkwood, and see Voldemort defeated once more. A genre blend like no other!

Other newsletters of interest are the Scifi Roundtable newsletter, which showcases indie scifi and fantasy authors. You can sign up here. Another one which sends out a daily short read and is currently running a free book advent calendar is the Working Title blog spot. You can follow them here.
