Testimonials: The Decameron Special
On March 24, near the start of the global lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, I had a brainstorm. I realized that I needed to make all my romance novels available for free on all platforms. Why? Stories are what keep us going, especially during dark times. In the past five weeks I’ve received lots of gratifying testimonials.
Note: I call my give-away The Decameron Special. See: The Decameron Special
The support I’ve received worldwide has been amazing. (A shout-out to the Philippines!) And I’m thrilled by the new readers who have come to enjoy my romance novels. In the past month, readers have downloaded over 10,000 books from my website alone!
I’ve received so much positive feedback to the Decameron Special that I’m extending it for another month. So, if you haven’t had a chance to download any of my novels, or if you’re waiting to download more after you finish your first batch, please remember:
You can keep reading for free through May 24.
