Hello, Thursday Morning readers! I don’t need coffee this morning, I’m so excited! Wait, what am I saying? Of course, I need coffee!

Confession: It’s been difficult for me to concentrate on writing the final book in the Kinsman Redeemer series, because of the mounting excitement over the release of Rebecca’s Legacy. I’m even having trouble sleeping, I’m so hyped!

Early on Tuesday morning, August 7, you’ll be able to download the Kindle version of Rebecca’s Legacy for only 99¢ —ONE DAY ONLY—and on that day, you can also download Amelia’s Legacy, the first book in the series, absolutely FREE.

I want to make a big splash on that day, so I’m going to need your help. Please consider downloading these two e-books! And help me spread the word by sharing this news on your social media. Text the news to your sister, best friend, distant cousin. Let everyone know. If you don’t want the book yourself, order it as a gift for someone. All you need is their email address.

What’s in it for you? A good book to read, I hope! This book was so much  fun to write, and the early reviews are really encouraging, so I have no problem asking you to buy it for about a dollar. I’m not making a ton of money off a 99¢ download, and I make nothing on the free books. But, you can help me do something I’ve never done—break into the best-seller category!!

Need a reminder on release day? I’ll have a special Tuesday edition of Hello, Thursday Morning, so if you receive my blogs via email, you should see it. You can also sign up for my newsletter—click the black Newsletter Sign Up in the sidebar—or you can click this link: Betty’s Newsletter Sign Up. All new sign ups also receive a brand new novella, Lake Frigid Aire. NOTE: After the release of Rebecca’s Legacy, you’ll only hear from me via newsletter three or four times a year, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

This novella is a bit of a departure for me. It’s a quirky suspense story. I can’t tell you much about it without giving too much away! My wonderful publisher did a beautiful job designing the cover. Thanks so much, Marji Laine Clubine of Write Integrity Press.

So, sign up for the newsletter to get your free copy. Lake Frigid Aire will be available later for only 99¢ .

What’s the story about? It’s set in a fictional area near Russellville, Georgia, there’s a lake involved (also fictional), and a bunch of quirky characters you’ll love. At just under ten thousand words, it’s a quick read.

Here are a few other places you’ll find me and probably way too many reminders of the release: Join me on my Facebook author page, Twitter, Goodreads, Pinterest, Instagram, Amazon Author Page.

If you’re on Goodreads, please consider adding my books to your TBR (To Be Read) list.

Now, for some really important news! Cathy Biggerstaff won the Legacy Series! She’ll receive all 3 books (print version). Congratulations, Cathy! She is a subscriber to my newsletter, and entered the drawing to win last month’s prize.

Coming Up on Tuesday evening: A Facebook Party! It’s Party Time, and I’m celebrating BIG. Here are the details:
