Promotion Place - June
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.

For members of LibraryThing - a book to review - (https://www.librarything.com/ner)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

I HIGHLY recommend this upcoming release: KINDLE THE LIGHT OF LIBERTY: A Jewish Colonial Love Story of the American Revolution. I received an ARC from the author and know that the PRE-ORDER link will be available on June 11, 2026. This is a unique book, highlighting the American Revolution, inspired by many characters of "Pride and Prejudice", and showcasing Jewish Colonial Patriots as we've never seen them before. Do NOT hesitate in checking this one out. Prior of knowledge of Judaism is not necesssary, neither is prior knowledge of P/P.

Miss Adams: Bridgerton meets Pride and Prejudice in this sinfully seductive historical romance by A.J. Fox
Miss Adams : Vile and Virtue by A.J. Fox
I'm heading up a fun project: a collaborative Pride & Prejudice variation with eleven authors. The book is called Courting by the Book. It's currently in pre-order, and it will be released on June 30 as a paperback and ebook on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.The premise is that Darcy & Elizabeth read romance novels (JAFF novels, though they're not called such in the book), and they are transported into those novels as themselves. Their journey through the novels guides them through their relationship, from adversaries to their ultimate happily ever after. Each of those novels is a chapter of our book, written by one of eleven authors: Suzannah Addison, Hazel R Banks, Lily Bernard, Louise Bigler, Leigh Dreyer, Diane Ferguson, Melissa Anne, Natasja Rose, Stephanie Vale, D.C. Williams, and me. The collaboration with these wonderful people has been an amazing experience, and I have loved every part of it.
You can pre-order at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4F5K4Z6
Sounds interesting Jeff. I'll look forward to it.
