Just got this in a newsletter:

Firstly, Author and Narrator Catherine Bilson started FREEBIE FRIDAY. She's organized for a different Austenesque book, by a different author, to be free every Friday this summer (and if people seem to like it, for a long time after that, too).

FREEBIE FRIDAY starts this upcoming Friday, June 5th (wow, I had multiple ways I could have tied this into the email rather than doing an aside, didn't I?) and you can find it here: https://www.shenaniganspress.com/free...

You can also, on the Shenanigans Press freebie site, sign up for email reminders, which she promises will only be for reminding you about FREEBIE FRIDAYs.

Secondly, it was recently confirmed that JAFF BUB will take place again this summer (they also call it JAFF Bonanza...it's the one where a lot of authors put books free on a specific day) and will be on July 1st.

The Quaint Convictions of Kit Bennet by Ally Hastings
Series: Queer Adventures (1)
Pride, prejudice, and a love that must remain private.

Netherfield Park is let at last, and Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five sons couldn’t be more pleased. For John, the heir, new neighbours bring the prospect of a happy and suitable marriage, if only Miss Bingley’s relations can overcome their distaste for his. For Christopher, the second son, there is the possibility of a different, more daring connection with the disdainful Mr Fitzwilliam, if only he can learn to question his own first impressions…

With all the incident, wit, and romance of the original, The Quaint Convictions of Kit Bennet is a queer re-imagining of Jane Austen’s great classic, with a gender-shifted cast tracing a new love story from Longbourn to Pemberley.

FREE (and perhaps sacrilege in German, not because of the german except that the description says - in German - "• A carefully prepared text in clear, modern British-English spelling for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience") so.....I have to wonder just how careful it is in fact. shrug
