April News and f-r-e-e-b-i-e-s


Hello Reader,

As I sit here, the sky is gray, the clouds are heavy, and my dog is sleeping at my feet. As I write this, it is April 3rd, and a blanket is draped over my legs. It's the perfect day to send out my newsletter and share the latest on my writing journey.

Writing Corner

My newest novella is coming along beautifully! It dives into a complex divorce, the struggles of raising four teenage girls, and recognizing that it is never too late to start again. This novella is a huge project. Six authors creating six novellas, all happening within the same three-month period. It requires constant communication, overlap of characters and places, and a timeline that must be reflected throughout the six stories.

Welcome to Blue Spruce Hills! Coming October 2026!

Gratitude Corner

I recently bought a bread maker. It was an impulse buy, but I was tired of busting the food budget, and I thought making our own bread could save us a few dollars.

I LOVE it. I find it relaxing and fun and rewarding. It's a long process, and I think that is part of the joy. You wait almost four hours to taste hot, homemade bread free of additives and preservatives. And when I did the math, it made sense.

I probably bake 2-3 loaves a week. My favorite is honey wheat, and my go-to cooking website is allrecipes.com. My only suggestion I have for this particular recipe is to increase the amount of honey to 1/4 cup.

I'm not yet brave enough to try any fancy recipes, but as my confidence grows, so will my bravery.

Reading Corner

If you're anything like me, a book that takes place near the ocean is exactly what you need! April is a wonderful month, but early April resembles March too much, and the cold, dreary days (at least in New England) are a harsh reminder that summer is almost here!

Check out these two opportunities to get your hands on An Unfinished Story for free!

I am giving away one signed copy of An Unfinished Story on Instagram. If you haven't yet, follow me, like, and comment. This is only open to U.S. residents, and a winner will be selected on April 6th.

Good luck!

Last month, I announced that An Unfinished Story and ALL my novels would join the Kindle Unlimited library. I totally get that not everyone is a part of Kindle Unlimited, so I wanted to give this book away to anyone and everyone who would like to read it. From today until April 8th, An Unfinished Story is free across all Amazon platforms. So hop online and grab this fun beach read before the price goes up!

For new readers, there is bonus content at the end of the book!

If you have already read it and want the bonus content, let me know! Just hit reply to this email, and I'll gladly send it to you.

Happy Reading and Happy Easter! I hope you have a beautiful weekend.

Edy.

P.S.--Don't forget to reply to this email if you want the deleted/bonus chapter to An Unfinished Story.
