Grab Your Cupid’s Fall Box Set While It’s a Steal!

The complete Cupid’s Fall series is now available as an ebook box set at the insanely low introductory price of $9.99 USD!

Just one click gets you the complete box set:

  • First Quiver (#1)
  • Into the Quiet (#2)
  • Quite the Pair (#3)
  • The Quest for Psyche (#4)
  • Fixer Upper – the steamy age-gap romcom Ruthie (from book 2) secretly posted to the internet, a.k.a. “Henry the Handyman”
  • Thea’s Recipe Box – 6 of the recipes baked by Thea for Henry the handyman
  • Family Tree of the Greek gods
  • Cast of Divine Characters for the entire series

That’s over 1400 pages (and 340K words) of juicy romance all in one file!

Did I mention the crazy low price?

Yep, right now, but only for a SERIOUSLY LIMITED TIME, you can grab the entire four-book set PLUS bonus story Fixer Upper PLUS Thea’s Recipes PLUS the family tree of the Olympian gods PLUS the full series divine cast listing – that’s a $22 value – for the rock bottom price of just $9.99! That’s five books and some bonus material for the same price as just two ebooks!

Why? Because I get it. I, too, love to deep dive into a new series (looking at you, Black Dagger Brotherhood and Sookie Stackhouse!). And it’s so much nicer to get everything all at once in one convenient package. No clicking from story to story. No more waiting at the edge of the cliff. No wondering which book comes next. It’s all there for you.

And because more than anything, I’d really love my stories to be read by as many readers as possible. So here you go, folks. I’m practically giving it away!

My Newest Adventure in Publishing

I’m proud to report I produced this box set all by myself. Okay, I had some help from a new publishing app called Atticus. Being an indie author means relying on myself as much as reasonably possible. Whatever I can’t (or choose not to) do myself, I have to hire an expert who’s not only a perfectionist but also available and affordable.

This model works extremely well in collaborating with my cover artist, editor, and blog tour hostess – all skills/connections I lack. But giving up so much control doesn’t usually bode well for someone fairly high on the control freak scale. It also leaves me with zero flexibility to make my own changes in the future.

Don’t hand me a fish; teach me how to catch that sucker myself!

Beyond the thrill of releasing my stories out into the wild, what I love most about self-publishing is learning new skills every single day. I’ve previously described some of these adventures such as collaborating with my cover artist and editor to translate what’s in my head into a finished product called a book. I’ve also shared my challenges with producing a book trailer, finding the “ideal reader,” and forays into TikTok.

Every single new tool I can figure out translates into a better experience for you, the reader. At least, that’s the hope.

What’s the big deal about making a box set anyway?

“Don’t you just put all the books together in one file?” If you’re asking, you’ve either never tried doing it yourself or you’re already a pro.

Prior to the rollout of Atticus, I had only one reasonable means of creating ebooks. That option was hiring out the epub production at roughly $130 a pop. I could then manage subsequent updates using an HTML-based program called Calibre.

Because I wanted professionally produced books, I paid that formatting fee for all four books and taught myself just enough HTML to be dangerous. With each new release, I updated all my ebook files (for “also by” sections, etc.) on retailer sites. I did just fine with that task, but–

There were some technical intricacies I never mastered. Photos and file sizes drive me batty! Some of the retail sites have quirky file requirements. The same file displays perfectly on one site and kaflooey on the next. And I don’t even know half of what I don’t know, and that can totally bite you in the butt.

True, I could have combined all five books’ chapters using Calibre. You could have read the stories, themselves, but that would not have been a satisfying reader experience. I want every reader to have the same, robust immersion as someone who’d read the professionally designed individual books. That meant incorporating the family tree of gods, the epigraphs and dedications and nice-looking fonts and other embellishments.

The knowledge I lacked made the idea of producing my own box set in Calibre completely outrageous.

Until Atticus.

Since Atticus is brand spanking new, the developers are still working out bugs. Not gonna lie, I had a few “moments” with this situation. But I trusted this company to stand behind their products with high quality customer service as they have with their other author tools. And they did.

And because I love the end product so much (and I’ve already put in so many hours learning to use the program), I can finally finish a project I’ve had on my wish list for four years now… More to come later this summer on that topic!

Get your Cupid’s Fall box set before the price goes up!

Because honestly, five books for the price of two REALLY IS too good to be true! It won’t last long – I PROMISE – because 343k words divided by $9.99 = 343 words PER PENNY! Just sayin’.
