Having regained the rights to nine of my romantic comedies from Harlequin, I'm currently re-editing and reissuing them with fun new covers.

Feb. 26-March 1, I'm putting two of them on sale for 99 cents each on Amazon. Please don't miss this sale, as these two books are regularly $3.99 each.

The titles and links are:
The Bride Wore Gym Shoes
When a psychic has a vision certain to come true, marriage counselor Krista will do almost anything to avoid marrying pesky detective Connor. But her efforts have a strange way of backfiring.

Million-Dollar Mommy.
Amnesia victim Kim wakes from a coma to find she married a prince and promised to bear his baby for a million dollars. But why?

Also, I'm currently finishing revisions on my second Safe Harbor Medical Mystery, which I'll post for presale in March. Please sign up for my free newsletter at www.jacquelinediamond.com so you don't miss a sale or release!

Please check Smashwords.com this week (March 5-11). Many of my books will be discounted as much as 75 percent. Also, a couple will be free, including A Lady's Point of View (Regency) and How to Write a Novel in One (not-so-easy) Lesson.

I've also just posted on Amazon two newly revised romantic comedies that I hope will make you laugh. They are Punchline and Sandra and the Scoundrel. Sandra is a minor character in Punchline who I thought was too much fun not to tell her story!

Upcoming: I'm planning to post for presale my new mystery, The Case of the Surly Surrogate, featuring a doctor who helps solve mysteries. It should go on presale this month with a target publication date of May 1. Please watch my website, www.jacquelinediamond.com for details. And while you're on the site, I hope you'll sign up for my newsletter, too.

Please note: when I post a book on Amazon, it's exclusive to them for three months. Then I post it on Barnes and Noble, iBooks, Smashwords and other sites. This is a sales strategy and I apologize for any inconvenience to my readers.

With six more romantic comedies to re-edit and re-release, and of course a new mystery to write, I'm planning on a busy 2017!

I'm delighted to have revised and posted (with new covers) two of my favorite zany novels, and I'm putting them on sale for 99 cents each through the end of April.

Both How She Married a Sheikh and Kidnapped? (there's a question mark in the title) are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords, and soon at Kobo and iBooks.

A word of explanation: Harlequin reverted the rights to 10 of my classic comedies. While continuing to work on my current Safe Harbor Medical Mystery series, I'm updating these and providing fun new covers. Previous releases are The Bride Wore Gym Shoes, Million-Dollar Mommy, Sandra and the Scoundrel, and Punchline.

Meanwhile, my new mystery, The Case of the Surly Surrogate, is available for presale at Amazon at the discounted price of $2.99. Publication date is May 1.

Think I'm taking it easy now? Argh! I'm working on my next mystery, editing four more romantic comedies, and planting my summer vegetable garden. Have to eat something to keep up my strength!

My second Safe Harbor Medical Mystery, The Case of the Surly Surrogate, is now on sale both in print (Amazon, B&N) and as an ebook (Kindle) on Amazon. The ebook/Kindle edition is on sale for $2.99 until May 10, when the prices goes to the regular $3.99.

Night Owl Reviews called it “a very clever mystery where emotions and feelings ran deep making it a truly beautiful read.”

Also, May 1-6, don't miss picking up Punchline, a romantic comedy, for 99 cents on Amazon. Here's the blurb:

Rival magazine editors Belle and Darryl wake up in bed together after drinking spiked punch at a party. Horrors! The pair vow never to mention this shocking situation again. But—surprise!—there’s a baby on the way. Their secret is about to explode in public, and their battle of wits is going nuclear.

Wishing you a very merry month of May!

Plus, I've uploaded my latest medical mystery, The Case of the Surly Surrogate, to Barnes and Noble, Kobo, iTunes and Smashwords as well as Amazon.

Now I'm hard at work on The Case of the Desperate Doctor. Look for it in early 2018!

Happy holidays!

The last week in December is a busy one for those of us who love to read. So it should be easy to find new, affordable books, right?

Here's what's available from me:
On Amazon and other sites, A Warm December is on sale for 99 cents. Wealthy executive Dave Anders may not be veterinarian Merrie McGregor’s type, but he makes a great Santa for her young niece. She’s impressed enough to agree to a fake engagement to protect the little girl—only he seems to be taking his role as her fiancé a little too seriously.

If you like to pick your own ebook format and save money at the same time, almost all of Jackie's books are on sale thru Dec. 31 at Smashwords.com. Many, including The Would-Be Mommy (book one of Safe Harbor Medical romances), are as low as $1. You can see all Jackie's books on sale by going to http://www.smashwords.com/profile/vie... and scrolling down.

And for a little free entertainment and hopefully some value added to you as a reader and/or writer, please check out author Kitty Bucholtz's video interview with Jackie at https://youtu.be/99owMAZH8vY. The topic is how to create believable characters in fiction.

Happy New Year!

I'm thrilled to share that A Lady of Letters, which is on sale for 99 cents through the end of January, hit #1 on the Kindle Regency bestseller list. Thank you, readers!

I'm also participating with other authors in a romance promotion with free and 99-cent books. There's a $50 gift card up for grabs, too. Feel free to check it out at https://mybookcave.com/retailer-group...

Harlequin has reverted the rights to 11 of my books, including three romance mysteries, my four-book Harmony Circle series, and more! There'll be reissues and sales ahead.
