Have I Got Specials for You by Paty Jager

I sound like some kind of salesman, don't I? I'm not, I'm just excited. Fall and the coming months are my favorite time of the year. I love the colors, the weather, the family gatherings, and just the feeling life is good. 

This year, with all that has happened, I feel especially blessed for family, my community, and my readers. While I've missed the conferences and events I'd planned to attend,  I've had more time at home to enjoy the things, that past summers, I've had to let go. My flowers looked good and I had a wee bit better garden than usual. My hubby believes in only watering what can shade or feed you, so if I'm not home, the flowers don't get watered. He doesn't understand they feed my soul.

This month, October, I'm participating in the Cowboy Kisses Annual Facebook Party. See the meme below for date and time. I'm on at noon Mountain time. I'll be visiting with those who are there and giving away free ebooks and some other goodies. 

I'll also talk about my new release- preorder now- Collateral Love, Novella #4 in the Tumbling Creek Ranch series. This book will be $0.99 through the end of the month! Here is the universal buy link but it won't be $0.99 everywhere until the 22nd. https://books2read.com/u/4jLrP2

And November, I'm having a Facebook event "Where in the World is Isabella Mumphrey" to reveal the new covers for my Isabella Mumphrey Adventure/Romantic Suspense/Thriller series. I LOVE the new covers. But you'll have to mark your calendars for November 14th and watch my Facebook and newsletter for info about where and when the event will take place. There will be prizes and a fun challenge to find Isabella Mumphrey. 

Late November, I hope to publish book 6 in the Gabriel Hawke series, Turkey's Fiery Roost.

These are all the book related fun things coming up. As for personal, our oldest granddaughter and I are having a pumpkin carving contest, we'll celebrate our oldest grandson's 16th birthday, enjoy whatever family is around for Thanksgiving, and plan to decorate like mad for Christmas. My hope is to have a good showing of kids and grandkids for that holiday. 

 What do you have planned for the rest of your year? Anything fun? Check the dates for my two Facebook events and come on by!

Ginger's Amazing Author's Event

Howdy, as they say in the old west.  Today, I'm bringing up the rear on the Amazing Author's Event.  My job, because I coordinated this wonderful event, is to provide you with the links to the posts of the last several days, and give you a question you can answer by having read or returning to read the information offered by said authors.  I course, you can't think I'm going to not take the opportunity to promote one of my own books here...I have a prize to offer too, and it's a free copy of Odessa, published by Eternal Press.
It's offered there and on Amazon.   Here's the blurb:

The wagon carrying Odessa Clay and her father overturns, killing him.  Alone and scared in the middle of the desert, she faces finding her way to Phoenix and Aunt Susan. Food and water run out, and Odessa is near death when Zach Johnson finds her.  Squinting up into his tanned and handsome face, Dessie believes she’s died and gone to heaven.

Would-be-outlaw, Zach Johnson finds an unconscious woman alone in the middle of nowhere.  Where did she come from?  First glance: she appears young, but the curves beneath the dusty gingham say otherwise.  He didn’t plan to become someone’s hero, but how can he leave her stranded?

Will the promise of Odessa’s sweet lips lure Zach from the secret mission that has his gut twisted into a knot?  His father’s ranch isn’t the only thing at stake—now it’s his heart.

If you want to read a sample, Amazon is very generous in its offerings.  Of course, you might be my lucky winner.
