No Kindle? No Problem!

I loved the experience publishing Anchored in the Bay (True North 1) on Amazon. Jump starting my writing career was a major goal for the year and Amazon made it very easy for me to self-publish. By putting my book up solely on Amazon, I’ve been able to make it available for Kindle Unlimited subscribers (netflix for books).

Kindle Press picked up Tiny Island Summer (True North 2) and it is also solely available on Amazon. I’ll be releasing the final books in the series myself on Amazon next year. (I’m currently hard at work on Book 3 and a shorter, between the books, story I’m calling 3.5).

One complaint I’ve heard is that if you don’t have a Kindle, you can’t read my books. Not true! Kindle has apps for your smartphone, your tablet, and even your laptop that allow you to read any of the books you purchase through the Kindle store.

So what are you waiting for? Now’s the best time to download an app and check out my series!

Progress?

I’m working behind the scenes on the final 2 1/2 books of True North. This series is my passion project and I’ve loved the opportunity to release these books on Amazon. I work with a wonderful freelance editor and some amazing CPs (critique partners), but at the end of the day, this series is from my heart and is my vision. Delivering these books without any other opinions has been both challenging and exhilarating.

What’s next is always a lingering thought for me, when I’m writing or publishing or promoting. For the time being, I don’t have any other series in mind. I have a lot of ideas for “stand alone” novels, but none that tie in together. The True North series really developed organically. I never intended to give Ryan a book, but that felt like the way to make the series wrap up. And, as I’ve mentioned before, my heart has changed towards him. (I hope yours will too!)

I have a few favorite characters; book 3.5 was fun because I got to revisit Darcy, Emily, and Francois. Revisiting Rose from Tidal Patterns is an idea I’m playing around with but haven’t settled on. For the time being, I’m working on finishing the series (pre-order here!) and am looking into getting these books out in paperback form. (I’ll update when/if that moves forward)

For Tiny Island Summer (True North Book 2)

Charming, Romantic, Can’t Put It Down Love Story October 23, 2015
I LOVED Rachelle’s follow up book to Anchored in the Bay. Both books are really well written and I couldn’t put either of them down. Endearing characters that you fall in love with early and root for until the end. I highly recommend this entertaining read to any modern romance lovers out there. Plus the unique setting of Northern Wisconsin gives this book a unique charm all it’s own.
Cute and sweet with a side of frustration October 13, 2015
I enjoyed this read. I liked that the author did not have the heroine sleeping around, but rather stuck to her own standards. I had to warm up to Darcy. She was a little stiff in the beginning. I liked Eric, Charlotte, Ben and John, though Ben should have been slapped for many of the stunts he pulled. He was all sorts of frustrating. This is a cute romance that is sure to make you smile and frown. I wanted another chapter or two!
I received this book from KindleScout.
