Love Yourself this Valentine's Day with Signed Craft of Writing Books or Webinar Replays

In some Latin American countries, including Mexico and Ecuador, Valentine’s Day is a holiday to celebrate not only romantic relationships but the love that is shared between family and friends as well.

They refer to February 14 as el dia del amor y la amistad, or "the day of love and friendship."

To celebrate our shared love of writing—and to show my appreciation to you, my amazing writing community—every webinar replay in my collection is $3 off—a savings of nearly 20%!

All replays are available for 14 days from the time of rental. This means you're free to pause if you need to take notes or rewind if you would like to review a specific technique or example. Better still, you can access the replays anywhere you access my website, providing access at home or on the go! You can watch them as many times as you'd like during the rental period.

Signed copies of my award-winning books on the craft of writing, Mastering Suspense, Structure, and Plot: How to Write Gripping Stories That Keep Readers on the Edge of Their Seats and Mastering Plot Twists: How to Use Suspense, Targeted Storytelling Strategies, and Structure to Captivate Your Readers, are also available for 15% off exclusively through my website!

Whether you prefer to read, watch, or do a little of both, there's something on offer to help you celebrate your love of writing, honor your ambition, and take your writing to the next level.

The sale ends on February 21 at midnight Eastern.

A Toast to New Beginnings and Boundless Creativity

As the clock ushers us into a new year, I find myself reflecting on the journey we've shared—the mysteries we've unraveled together and the writing paths we've explored. Each page you've turned in my books and each word of encouragement you've shared has been a source of immeasurable joy and inspiration.

As an author of traditional mysteries and craft of writing books, I've had the privilege of not just telling stories, but becoming a part of yours. This past year has been another remarkable chapter, filled with unexpected twists, delightful discoveries, and, most importantly, the continued support and passion of readers like you. Your enthusiasm is the ink that fuels my pen.

Winning awards is an honor, but the true reward is knowing that the tales I weave find a home in your hearts and minds. As we stand on the threshold of another year, I'm filled with gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. The mysteries of tomorrow are waiting to be penned, and the craft of storytelling is an ever-evolving adventure that we embark on together.

So, here's to a year filled with captivating reads, enthralling mysteries, and endless inspiration. May your 2024 be a narrative of joy, health, and fulfilled dreams. Let us raise a glass to the stories that have shaped us and to those yet to be written.

Happy New Year, dear friends. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. I can't wait to see where the next chapter takes us.

With heartfelt gratitude and anticipation,

Jane

P.S. I'd love to hear about your favorite moments from our stories or your personal writing journey this past year. Please share them in the comments. Here's to a year of new adventures on and off the page!
