What to read next: The Work of Art by Mimi Matthews
I am about halfway through a really lovely historical romance novel where the heroine is more into dogs than people, and the hero is something of a hermit – until they cross paths and discover they are ‘kindred spirits’. Enter a conniving uncle and a dastardly duke determined to have our leading lady at all costs and you have the makings of a great story. Check out The Work of Art for yourself and see if you agree.
K Howard certainly agreed in her 5-star review of this book on Amazon (as did 50 other 5-star reviews)
“I am a voracious reader of historical romance. I believe Mary Balogh, Grace Burrowes and Lisa Kleypas are the queens of this genre. And now Mimi Matthews has joined that exalted group. Her beautiful novels draw me right in and I can’t get anything done until I’m finished reading. This book is particularly engaging and so, so romantic! “

Gem of the Week: Reduce Wine Tumblers
I was introduced to this wonderful thermal cup in my Summer Causebox and I am addicted. See my recent newsletter for more on Causebox as well as a coupon for $10 off. Not a subscriber? Sign up here and get a free ebook.
Now, back to these terrific tumblers. First, I fill it at night and still have ice in the morning! Second, it is just the right size for everything I want to drink from Diet Coke to a White Wine Spritzer. And it’s mighty good looking not to mention it fits in my hand perfectly.
Reduce makes a number of thermal cup options, but this 4-pack is my favorite – great colors for this set of four, 12-ounce cups, the perfect size to travel anywhere. They make a perfectly portable, travel anywhere, non-breakable set of wine glasses. Perfect for a picnic. SET OF 4, 12 OUNCES – perfectly portable, they travel anywhere you go, Don’t risk breaking wine glasses, this thermal mug made 18/8 stainless steel with a powder coat finish is even the sweat-proof. That means no more watery rings on your table-top.

Just for Authors: Grab this before it Goes Away
I have been talking about “Your First 10K Readers” for the last few weeks, since the totally revamped 2.0 version just become available. But this promo won’t last much longer and believe me, you want to take a long hard look at this course before you walk away – if you can walk away. It is the most comprehensive book-marketing course I have ever seen.
Then consider if it is right for you.
If – and it’s a big if – you’re willing to put in the work and:
• If you’re an author looking to build a long-term audience and platform, so you don’t have to rely on anyone else to grow your career
• If you launched your first book (or are just about to) and didn’t get the sales or exposure you hoped for
• If you’re a more established author looking to improve results on your frontlist and backlist titles and get more exposure across your catalog
• If you’re a non-fiction author and you use your publishing platform as a way to grow authority and drive traffic to your other products
• If the thought of keywords, mailing lists, and website optimization gets you all freaked out with techno-overload
• If you don’t like the idea of having to put out a new book every couple of months just to break even
• If you have no idea what marketing strategies work and don’t want to waste your time or money on trial and error
Then this is the course for you. It’s not a quick fix because the content will take time to go through – there are more than 70 hours of material, plus bonus content! But everything – from start to wherever you are willing to let your career take you, is included in this course.
Is it cheap – no. Is it worth it? OH YEAH!
Don’t even have a book yet? Remember, one of the big bonuses for this launch is “The 60 Day Author” – an 8-module class that will show you how to go from “no idea” to published in as little as 60 days.
So, even if you don’t have a book yet, Nick can get you where you need to be as quickly as possible.
