Spring greetings, everyone. I have been collecting email addresses for a couple of years now and am finally sending out a newsletter. I’d love to get your opinion as to whether you want to receive a newsletter. Did I entertain you and give you valuable information? Would you participate in a contest?

UPCOMING PUBLICATIONS:

Drum roll, please! My next Stoneybrook Mysteries novella, “Whispering Willows”, will be available May 2024. The 4th book in the series, “Willow’s Woods” will be available July 2024.

Here’s the Amazon link to the Stoneybrook Mysteries series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKW1PVG

I’m currently (in my mind) strolling the beaches of Cabo as I finish “Chaos in Cabo”, which will be available September 2024. If you’d like to mentally escape to Mexico, here’s the Amazon link to my Mexico Mayhem series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCMM492X

As part of a writer’s life, you receive fabulous reviews from readers, which of course is music to this author’s ears. And then there’s the occasional negative review. In some cases, the reviewer’s words cut like a knife and undermine a writer’s confidence. Over the past few weeks, I’ve received a few negative reviews. As I always do, I focus on positive accolades … and quotes like this help remind me of my journey.

“Don’t give up. There are too many nay-sayers out there who will try to discourage you. Don’t listen to them. The only one who can make you give up is yourself.” ~Sidney Sheldon

I hope you enjoy getting my newsletter. If not, no worries, just email a quick “No, thanks,” and I’ll take you off the list. Also, if there’s something you’d like included in the newsletter, let me know. Interested in a contest, email back, “Yes, I’d love to win a contest!”

If you are a reader of either, or both, of my series … A big, heartfelt

“Thank you!” comes with this missive ~ Kimila Kay
