A Brooding Beauty - FREE!

For now and into the foreseeable, I am super excited to announce that A BROODING BEAUTY, the first novella in the Wedded Women Quartet, will be completely FREE on Amazon and Kobo! Yep, you heard it right. Well, you read it right. You know what I mean. 

Why am I doing this? A couple of reasons. 

1) I enjoy giving things away. It's fun for me.

2) From a marketing standpoint, it makes sense. If a reader likes A Brooding Beauty, I hope they'll be encouraged to purchase the second novella in the quartet, A Ravishing Redhead. If they don't like ABB, well, no harm done. They're not out any money, and hopefully they didn't dislike it enough to leave a negative review. 

3) I've discovered whenever I run free promotions my sales numbers go up. Yes, I'm technically losing income by giving away something for nothing, but often (knock on wood) it more than pays for itself in the long run. Even gaining a handful of new fans is worth giving away a 1,000 free books. 

So there you have it. If you haven't read A Brooding Beauty and you're on the fence about it, here are what some reviewers have to say:

"I thought this novella had a wonderful blend of story, heat, and love." Lisa Wolff (Rogues Under the Covers)

"I really enjoyed Jillian Eaton's way of story-telling."

Steffi (Swept Away by Romance)

"If you are in for a quick, sweet romance than this novella is for you." Arlena Dean (Great Minds Think Aloud)

"I was blown away by how much I enjoyed this novella!"

Nina (Nina's Literary Escape)

"This story was very well written in every aspect you could think of." A. Ellison (Amazon)

What are you waiting for? Pick up A Brooding Beauty free today!

And that's my sales pitch, folks. 

Nook Users: I apologize! If I could make ABB free on Barnes & Noble I would. Unfortunately, they don't have price matching at this time. :( 

27 is the new 17... Right? RIGHT?!

I'm turning (gulp) 27 on Sunday. 27 seems suspiciously close to 30, but the checkout guy at the grocery store called me "miss" yesterday, so we're all good.  

Since I am a big believer that giving is much better than receiving, I want to give all of you a present on my birthday! Unfortunately, since I just paid for my Panera lunch in dimes and quarters, I can't get you anything snazzy. But I can give you free books and discount prices! 

I'm calling it my August Book Sale. 

I know, I know. 

You are dazzled by my creative genius. 

Anyways, for the first two weeks of August The Runaway Duchess will be available on Amazon for $3.99 $2.99 (holy bargain, batman!) and the following novellas in the Wedded Women Quartet will be FREE:

A Ravishing Redhead - Free 8/3 & 8/4

A Lascivious Lady - Free 8/2 - 8/5

A Gentle Grace - Free 8/4

Feel free to share this with all your friends, because who doesn't love a birthday book bargain?! I know I do.

Wedded Women Quartet UPDATES

For those of you who have been following the Wedded Women Quartet (A Brooding Beauty, A Ravishing Redhead, and A Lascivious Lady) then you know that the fourth and final installment, A Gentle Grace, is due for release... soon. Originally I had planned on November (as in NEXT MONTH!) but as it tends to do sometimes, life (and a healthy huge dose of writers block) got in the way. Wanting to give Grace everything she deserves for waiting so patiently for her story to be written, I have a tentative release date scheduled for December. Please don't be angry with me. I am positively thrilled that so many of you are waiting for A Gentle Grace -- thrilled and terrified. I honestly don't know how the writers of the great trilogies and series did it. Here I am, with a measly little novella quartet, and I'm quaking in my boots hoping I won't disappoint anyone.

I am planning on a first page reveal soon, so stay tuned for that. I also thought it would be fun to show the first page I originally wrote, followed by the first page that I ended up with. They are vastly different, and have taken me in two completely opposite directions. I'm just glad I stuck it out and waited for the second instead of settling for the first. Patience, dear writers and readers. It really is a virtue. 

For those of you who HAVEN'T started the Wedded Women Quartet, here is my present to you: A Brooding Beauty, the first novella, will be free this Sunday on Amazon from 12:00AM - 12:00PM Pacific time. The best thing about starting a quartet that is nearly finished? You don't have to wait to read the other books! Catherine & Marcus still have a fond place in my heart, as they were the two that started it all -- although I had just as much fun creating happily-ever-afters for Margaret and Josephine. I'm a little sad that once A Gentle Grace is released I will have to say goodbye to all of the characters, but I have a sneaking suspicion they will pop up again... Sooner than you might think. ;) 

Promo Giveaway of AFTER EVER!

$0.99 is almost enough to buy you a double cheeseburger at McDonald's (which I in no way, shape, or form know from personal experience because fast food tastes amazingly delicious is bad for you!), but free is better. So from Thursday, October 4th through Sunday, October 7th, After Ever is going to be free on Amazon! 

For the 204 people who have it on their Goodreads TBR, make sure to take advantage! I promise, no werewolves or vampires were used in the making of this story... But there is a pretty sarcastic heroine and a very cute geek with glasses.

“Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean you can’t die again in a thousand different ways.” 

For sixteen-year-old Winnie Coleman, dying is the least of her worries. Between coming to terms with her mother’s unexpected death, trying to think up new and inventive ways to break up her father and Girlfriend #3, and keeping her brother from chewing off his fingers, she has her hands full. Courtesy of a thin patch of ice and failed swimming lessons, all of that changes in the blink of an eye. 

In death Winnie will find the answers that eluded her in life, and a whole slew of other questions she never thought to ask. Like why is she stuck with Sam for a guide? Sure, he’s funny and cute in a geeky sort of way, but he wears sweater vests… and loafers. For a girl who has tattoos on her face and glue in her hair, it’s not exactly the best match up.

But when Sam is taken and his very existence threatened, Winnie must make the ultimate choice between cowardice and courage. Faithlessness and loyalty. Family... and love.

Suspenseful and action packed, After Ever is a must read for anyone who ever wondered: what happens next?

 

Happy Labor Day!

I have a present for all you Lola fans out there. The description for Black, the second novella in the Death Day trilogy, is now available! And make sure to stay tuned, because on Friday, September 7th I will be posting an exclusive sneak peek of the prologue. 

Lola is one of the last humans left. Hidden away by her father when the Drinkers first struck, she is now a Nomad, traveling from ravaged city to ravaged city. Forced to steal what she needs to live during the few precious hours of daylight that remain, Lola becomes more desperate and daring by the day. When a terrible decision puts her at the mercy of those that took everything away from her, she must rely on the one person she cannot trust to survive: Maximus, the Drinker responsible for her best friend’s death.

Black, available on Amazon this October!

"For the best," he echoed mockingly. One dark eyebrow lifted. "Was it for the best when you went tramping around London, lifting your skirts for any rich man who would have you?" - Marcus Windfair, the Duke of Kensington
