As we jump from June to July during the most bizarre summer ever due to Covid19, I had a very good week.

After four months of quarantine, I drove to NY state for a visit with my son and daughter in law. Although I stayed overnight and we maintained some social distancing, I returned home basking in the glow of Melissa’s pregnancy. Who knew such things were transferrable woman-to-woman?

I attended a webinar hosted by our own tech wizard Barb about navigating our ABB website and picked up many enlightening tips regarding our ABB WordPress Site and Mailer Lite – I’m looking forward to creating a newsletter so this was a win-win all around.

My five-year old grandson started Tee Ball this week, too, which lends hope our children will be able to experience a decent, if not restrictive summer.

The GREAT news is The Authors’ Billboard has quite a few summer collections available for your reading pleasure, and several new releases. All of our collections are just 99 cents or FREE to read on Kindle Unlimited. Here are a few tempting sets for you romance lovers:

One thing I’ve been passionate about during this surreal, scary time, besides the safety of my loved ones, is being able to entertain our readers and thank them for their support during better times.

Our writers’ group, The Authors’ Billboard, devised an idea to not only express our thanks to our devoted readers – without them, we wouldn’t be able to pursue our crafts – but to engage them in some fun, prizes, and silly facts (or not), about the authors they follow.

If you’re like me, we’ve been waiting for Spring to arrive in all its glory, so we can move on to Summer – but that’s not what happened, as you know. Instead, the globe has been infected by a deadly virus, leaving us scared, uncertain, and well, you know…but we’re all in this together.

Whether you’ve decided to pass the time self isolating with a baking marathon or doing a thorough spring cleaning, you need downtime from the news, the fear, and a route to escape the madness that’s become part of this dreadful new normal.

That’s where we at the Authors’ Billboard come in – we are here to entertain you during these rough patches, and during the the not-so-tough times, too – Presenting our newest collections for your reading pleasure, along with my newest release.

Love’s Salvation is a collection of stand alone books. This is not a series and can be read in any order.
Melissa Taylor’s first impression of Nick Gerard is sketchy when she’s forced to share first class seats with him during a trip. Once the flight is airborne, so is their instant attraction, but what can Nick do to prove he’s worthy of trust once they’re on the ground? 
With a leap of faith, Nick shares his secret occupation with the woman he can’t let walk away, and Melissa relies on instinct to believe his sincerity.
As the couple’s new romance grows into a passionate relationship beyond their wildest dreams, is their bond strong enough to keep them together during the direst straits? 
Please join Nick as he supports Melissa’s incredible journey, and bestows her love’s greatest gift of all. (Consider becoming an organ donor) Get it here: http://bookShow.me/B08621LR6R FREE on Kindle Unlimited!
