Hello, Readers!
It’s been a while since I’ve sent a newsletter or blog post out. It’s been busy in the Buikema household. I am revising The Hobo Code and hope to have it in good shape by June. There is a contest coming up that I plan to enter in hopes of winning a grant to help with its development. So far, those who are reading it chapter by chapter for critique are becoming invested in the characters, which is a great happiness!
The Sale!
We are fast approaching Read an Ebook Week, a week that encourages readers to pick up the digital device of their choice and download a new book to read.
I’m excited to announce that all of my Ebooks, The Adventures of Charlie Chameleon (New Beginnings, School Days, and Summertime)
as well as Parenting: A Work in Progress,
will be available as part of a promotion on Smashwords to celebrate 2025 Read an Ebook Week at a sizable discount! This is a chance to get my book, along with books from many other great authors, at a discount so you can get right to reading.
You will find the promo here starting on March 2, so save the link:
