MY DARLING CLEMENTINE
The Audiobook
It’s out, and doing really well, I’m pleased to say. I’m excited for you to hear the story as narrated by Marina Dawn! Her mellifluous voice, with a delicious Scottish accent gives a hot, and sexy reading is that, I ask you? Just WAIT until you hear her read the wedding night scenes! Here’s a sexy preview JUST FOR YOU!
So, Genta, what’s going on? Well, let’s see:
The GAUNT audiobook is back in production! I’m happy to announce that Marina Dawn and I are working together to get my favorite witchy/ghostly meet cute ready for Halloween. You know I’ll be posting sneak previews, so look for them!
I’m working out some plot lines to create a satisfying ending in A Troublemaker Will Survive, the fourth and final book in The Troublemaker Series. I’ll be wrapping up Traf’s lifelong journey to become an American, finally achieving her goal of living in the States. But is the fabulous, modern, forward thinking, USA all that she’s believed all these years?
Yes, I’m being scarce, but things are hard all over and we’ve got to get through this as best we can. Each of us need to protect those who need us, so do the best you can, and let go of the rest. WE, the people, will get through this together. You, the person, can only do what you can do within your own limitations. Be safe. Be aware. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give in to fear. Take action when you can.
Distract yourself when necessary. Read a good book. One of mine, perhaps…
Readers of Sapphic Spice – Be Heard!
I’m running a survey to find out what readers like in their Sapphic Romances. It takes less than five minutes to fill out, it is completely anonymous and collects no personal information, and you’ll be helping your favorite authors (with whom I’m sharing this info) to write more of your favorite books!
If you have already filled it out – THANK YOU. If you haven’t yet, please do. We like to know what matters to you.
PLEASE don’t unsubscribe from my newsletter! I know life is hectic, there’s too much noise in your inbox – but I promise I’ll write only once a month, and will offer you human authored, entertaining stories, freebies when available, and updates concerning my nineteen published books.
A few months ago, I joined several promotions where people signed up for my newsletter and received free books for doing so. The next time I sent out my newsletter, one hundred unenrolled. They just wanted the freebie, which I understand. But it makes the author look really bad.
My website is being remastered to be both a place for me to express myself as an author – and a home for my newsletter Wait… What? When you sign up for my newsletter, you will receive only the newsletter in your email, but you’ll find new content (fingers crossed) every week on the website: GentaSebastian.com
Please – PLEASE – let me know if anything seems to be going wrong with either one. I’m a LOLA (Little Old Lesbian Author) who’s doing EVERYTHING on her own. If something could be improved or is not working properly, the sooner I know the sooner I can get to it. You know me, I’m a perfectionist struggling to accept her human limitations. I really DO want to know if you find something. Write me at genta@gentasebastian.com with any thoughts or suggestions.
If you’re on FaceBook, please consider joining my group: Writers of Sapphic Spice, Smut, and Romance, and the Readers who Love Them
It’s a place for writers and readers to connect. Reviews, recommendations, conversations, and writers responding to readers’ prompts. Come join the fun!
