The Power of Words: Chat with Kim Fields and Prentice Penny

 In case you missed it, this past weekend I had the pleasure of joining Kim Fields' Instagram Live as a guest. The chat was hosted by Kim’s lifestyle brand, Refresh by KF. Each month Refresh By KF focuses on a different theme related to wellness, and for August it’s all about the power of words.

 

Kim is a powerhouse performer, writer, director, and producer, and I was honored to talk to her. We also took the opportunity to announce some fantastic news. 

 

Stay tuned after my talk with Kim to see her second guest, the multi-talented Prentice Penny, writer and director of Uncorked and executive producer of HBO’s Insecure. If you aren't already familiar with Prentice, you’ll definitely add several of his shows to your Must Watch list after listening to him. He's fantastic.

BookFunnel: How Do I Find My Books?

Many readers are familiar with BookFunnel, a service that allows authors and others to deliver content directly to a reader's Kindle, iPad, Nook, Kobo ereader, or other device. I use BookFunnel to send bonus reads like A Royal Scandals Wedding to my newsletter subscribers, because it allows them to select the format they prefer.

Every so often, I receive a question from a reader about how to retrieve a book they downloaded from BookFunnel in the past, but have since deleted from their device. It’s fairly straightforward.

1 - Log in to BookFunnel here. If you don’t have an account, you can create one using your email address.

2 – You’ll be taken to a page containing your library. You can also go there directly by visiting my.BookFunnel.com

You can use this page to redownload books you've received from BookFunnel in the past or to transfer books from one device to another, say from your computer to your iPad or an Android smartphone. BookFunnel has a cloud reader that will enable you to read anywhere without installing anything on your device—though they do have an app if you prefer—and you can switch between reading on different devices without losing your place.

If you need more help, or the tips above don’t work, email help@bookfunnel.com. They’ve always been fantastic at troubleshooting when one of my readers has had an issue.

To Kiss a King is Here

A later-in-life romance. A second chance at love. An ambassador weighing her duties against her desires. A monarch walking the tightrope between his public and private lives. Any of these sound like your kind of romance novel catnip?

I’m thrilled to share that To Kiss a King is now available at retailers worldwide! Many of you have told me that this is the San Rimini book you’ve been anticipating most.

Here’s the back-of-book info if you’d like a sneak peek:

He’s heralded around the world as a romantic icon. The last thing he needs is to fall in love.

King Eduardo diTalora is riding a popularity high, thanks to his political acumen, his charitable endeavors, and above all, the storybook romance he had with his late wife, Queen Aletta. He plans to use that goodwill in the best way possible, to push long-term projects that will benefit his country.

When Claire Peyton, the new American ambassador, pitches a project of her own, Eduardo wonders if it’s possible to find love a second time. But as Claire and Eduardo face the political and personal repercussions of time spent together, each of them must choose between their duty to country and their love for each other.

But when the world sits in judgment, does love stand a chance?

I loved writing about Eduardo and Claire. Having the opportunity to write about a couple of their age and life experience was fun. I think you’ll enjoy their story, too.

You can find it at your favorite retailer in ebook, print, or audio. As has been the case with earlier San Rimini books, the talented Hollis McCarthy narrates. Enjoy!

First Time on Sale

Big announcement! For a limited time, you can get The Royal Bastard for only 99¢/99p in ebook throughout the US, Australia, the UK, and Canada. The sale may pop up in other countries at various retailers, so check your favorite (for instance, it’s currently .99 at Apple Books in New Zealand.)

Here’s a peek:

A royal secret. A marriage in jeopardy.

Rocco Cornaro dedicates his life to creating innovative, life-saving medical devices, and in the process has become a wealthy man. However, he harbors a deep secret: his mother was once the lover of Sarcaccia’s King Carlo Barrali, and Rocco is the product of their secret affair.

Trained from birth to keep his royal parentage quiet, Rocco cannot even trust his beloved wife with his secret, and his silence drives her away. When Justine is kidnapped and held for ransom, he must risk everything—his siblings' security, his life’s work, and the reputation of a royal family—to save the woman he loves. But when he reveals his secret—and confronts a new, horrible truth—will it end his marriage forever?

The Royal Bastard has never before been on sale, so now is the time to get your copy. Though it’s part of the Royal Scandals series, it was written so it can be read independently. 

Enjoy!
