Book rankings…

I’m not gonna lie: waking up to this picture this morning almost made me cry. Oh, who am I kidding? I DID Cry!! Happy tears of joy!

My new release, PERFECT MATCH reached #7 in kindle ebook sales under the MEDICAL ROMANCE division during the night. Yowza!!!!

In the Later in life category, it’s

and in small town, it’s

My overall ranking in all of kindle books is # 35 right now, as I write this at 4:30 am EST.

I know most people won’t think much of that, but writers KNOW how wonderful this news is to an author because it means sales. And not just of this book. My rankings for the previous 2 books in the series have elevated, too, because people are buying those as well!!

The economy is pretty awful right now and tanking daily. That people are still buying books – and books about romance and HEAs, says something to me. It gives me hope and makes me optimistic about the future of books and reading. Why? Because in the world of publishing, I am basically a nobody. That people are buying a book by a nobody is amazeballs!!! And if this trend continues…well, my joy will be elevated even further.

If you haven’t read PERFECT MATCH, it’s available in Amazon in print, kindle, and in KU.

Bless all the people who read, and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Women’s Fiction Day Author Giveaway tour!

Welcome to Women’s Fiction Day! It’s our day to celebrate the authors, the stories, the craft, and the community that make Women’s Fiction vibrant, essential, and, one of the best genres on the literary scene.

First established by WFWA (Women’s Fiction Writers Association) in 2019, this day celebrates the authors, readers, bookstores, and fans of the women’s fiction genre.

WFWA describes women’s fiction as “layered stories in which the plot is driven by the main character’s emotional journey. The driving force of women’s fiction is the protagonist’s journey toward a more fulfilled self.”

As a gift for stopping by the giveaway tour, I’m offering 2 kindle copies of my just-yesterday published Holiday Novella SANTA BABY to two readers/authors who comment below and tell me their favorite Women’s Fiction author!

Good luck!!!

So wish me luck and I’ll keep you posted!!

Yours, in gaming (!) ~ Peg

Chrys Fey has a new addition to her DISASTER CRIMES series…A FIGHTING CHANCE

Today, one of my favorite WILD ROSE PRESS author/sistahs is sharing some exciting news!!! CHRYS FEY is a prolific writer and she’s got another addition to her Disaster Crimes series for the book reading world!!! Get a gander, here….

Who is Thorn?

He is Beth’s best friend.

He is like a brother to Donovan.

He is the god father to their children.

He is a detective at the Orlando Police Department.

He is in love with Amanda, a survivor of domestic/sexual abuse.

He is a good man who believes women should be treated right. Always.

He fights for the defenseless, the innocent, the victims, the hurt.

He goes after the bad people who hurt those he cares about.

He is laidback and loves to laugh and tease.

He will always have your back.

He is strong but gentle.

He enjoys Thai food.

He’s THORN.

 

*A FIGHTING CHANCE is Book 6 in the Disaster Crimes series, but it’s a spin-off featuring a new couple, so it can be read as a standalone.*

Thorn has loved Amanda from afar, giving her whatever she needs as a survivor of abuse—space, protection, and stability. He yearns to give her more, though, to share his feelings, kiss her, love her, but he’s worried the truth will frighten her away.

And Amanda is afraid. She’s scared of her attraction for Thorn. Most of all, she’s terrified of her ex-boyfriend, who is lurking nearby where no one can find him. When she grows closer to Thorn, Damon retaliates, jeopardizing their happy ending.

Up against an abusive ex and Mother Nature, do Thorn and Amanda have a fighting chance?

Book Links: Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / iTunes

EXCERPT:

Amanda looked up from the current list of up-to-date payments for classes. A movement outside the glass storefront caught her eye. She tilted her head to see a man coming up the sidewalk from the side where the picnic bench sat. Through the vertical blinds, she glimpsed a square face—a short, rugged beard and long, dark hair pulled into a man bun. Her breath fled from her lungs. Her body went from icy cold to flaming hot in the span of a millisecond. She dropped to the floor and slid under the counter, beneath the ledge where they put their purses and cell phones.

“What—” Beth peeked at the windows. Then she snapped her fingers at April and pointed at the stools.

April jumped into action. She pushed the stools in so they blocked Amanda. The bell attached to the door jingled as April removed the jacket she wore and draped it across the stools, creating a curtain to shield Amanda.

From a crack, Amanda watched Beth move to stand in front of the twins, who were in their walkers playing peacefully. “I’m sorry, but we’re going to be closing.”

“I don’t give a shit. I’m here for Amanda.”

The sound of Damon’s voice had her heart beating even harder. That voice had haunted her nightmares, had come back to life in her memories.

Beth cocked her head to the side. “Who? There’s no one by that name here.”

“Don’t bullshit me. I know she works here.”

His voice was closer now.

#BookGems – A new place to find all an author’s books, me included!

As an author I’m always trying to find a way to make it easy for readers to “find my books” because that will – hopefully – lead to “buy my books!  Hee hee

There’s a new book depository where you can do one-stop shopping for your favorite authors books now, mine included, called BOOK GEMS

You can find all the books an author has currently available, across all publishing venues (Universal purchase links) and it also included author blogs, books up for a reader to review, and in the coming months, giveaway offers.

For authors it’s a subscription service to list your books – the rates are extremely reasonable.

For readers, join up and get info on all your one-click authors.

Here’s the link to my personal author page: Peggy Jaeger

Just click on one of the book titles and it will bring you to the book’s info page, which included the UNIVERSAL links for where you can purchase the book.

I love this one-stop shopping brand of book promo because it makes it so easy for readers to find my work. And I can find the books from authors I enjoy with one click instead of 50!

Book Gems…it’s a good thing!

Until next time, peeps ~Peg

#LongandShortReviews #Wednesdaybloggingchallenge 9.16.2020

So my post today is going to be short and sweet. I’ll explain why in a sec.

Today’s topic is BOOK(S) WITH THE MOST WORDS I HAD TO LOOK UP.

This is so easy.  I am a logophile from waaaaaaaaaaythehell back. My favorite Christmas gift when I was 6? A dictionary. Words just do it for me and I very rarely have to look one up. And since I don’t read SciFi, I’ve never had to struggle through made up words, names, and places.

But…..

When HARRY POTTER hit the world, all those latin phrases, names, and words were a bit much for me, especially since my 8 year old daughter and I were reading it at the same time and she kept asking me what different things meant.
I hadn’t a clue. Latin wasn’t my thing in college.

So, that’s my post for the day. Hee hee

Let’s see what some of the other authors in this challenge, and probably the ones who read SCI Fi the most, have to say: L&SR

Hey! Did you know I’ve got a new book releasing on 1014.2020? It’s  Holiday RomCom titled MISTLETOE, MOBSTERS, & MOZZARELLA and it’s up for preorder right now, here: MMM

If you like books with strong female heroines, hot cops, food and family, AND you like to laugh, this is the book for you.

Just sayin’. Hee hee

Until next time, peeps, ~Peg
