What Do I Get?

Have you already got your loved one a Valentine’s gift? Do you have your gift picked out for your loved one to give you?

Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it. It may be a time for lovers to exchange gifts, but I think it’s also a good time to remember those who are special in our lives.

Books always make great gifts for any occasion. With that in mind I’d like to share some pre-Valentine’s Day specials a couple of publishers are offering. In addition, another publisher is offering a special just for authors. While this first special is aimed at authors, we as readers benefit in the long run. The more authors and places to find them, the more books there are for us to read.

CeleryTree has a special going on right now where authors can join for free, which is a $35 value. Each author sets their own price for books on CeleryTree, so there are always some pretty good deals available. 

CeleryTree is a place readers can purchase books and support authors, many of which they have meet through blogging. 

Istoria Books announces that author Jerri Corgiat’s award-winning romance, SING ME HOME, is FREE today, Feb. 9, and tomorrow, Feb. 10, at Amazon’s Kindle store.

Originally published by Penguin’s Signet imprint, SING ME HOME is the touching story of a “bad boy” country music singer who turns his life around to win custody of his children but ends up losing his heart to a small-town widow unimpressed with his riches and stardom.
