Free Irish Romance!

 

If you’re looking for a tender, romantic read that’s not too sweet…

I need to start my blueberry pruning, but I wanted to share this before it’s too late.

The Hopeful Romantic, my 3rd Irish novel, was selected for a Kobo Books Free ebook promotion!

Also free at lots of your favorite ebook stores, the story has a special place in my heart.

Years ago, a kind, creative friend—we’d bonded over our mutual love of Ireland—gave me a card. I loved it so much I taped it to my journaling notebook.

The card pictured an Irish farm, a cow grazing peacefully near a lovely ancient barn built of golden stone. 

I decided, I’m going to write about that farm someday…

In The Hopeful Romantic, a Dublin wife and mother risks her already shaky marriage when she rekindles her friendship with her husband’s old mate. Kerry feels trapped in her cubicle-bound job, and longs to have a farm.

Well…I’ve been there! The losses and relationship conflicts Kerry experiences weren’t mine, but her story poured out of me. And ss it turns out, she might not be the only “hopeful romantic” in her marriage! 

Quick heads up: The Hopeful Romantic will be free for only a limited time…

For the rest of this week—til Easter—The Hopeful Romantic ebook will be free at Kobo—just scroll down to the “Free Women’s Fiction” carousel.   

The ebook is also free at Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and just about every other ebook retailer you can think of, until early next week. (But not Amazon—due to technical issues. Sorry.)

I hope you’ll take a look!

You’ll find more novel and non-fiction book recs in my April Little Farm newsletter—next time, I’ll have insights from my Spring 2025 Homestead Gardening class!

Irish Novels On Sale—25% Off All 7!

1st Ballydara novel, free everywhere!

Do you like warmhearted Irish love stories? And ebooks? Then come with me to the cozy little Village of Ballydara!

My Ballydara novels are all about love and friendship and family—but some, like It Only Takes Once, are more of a romantic comedy. 

And though all my Irish novels are available separately in ebook format, I’ve also packaged them up in ebook box sets …to give readers like you a special price!

My first four Village of Ballydara Irish novels make up Box Set 1…you see I loved this red-haired girl so much she got to be on this book cover too! 

The set also includes The Galway Girls, which features two love stories, plus a little start up farm, a gardening plotline, and chickens!

Irish Box Set 1

Ballydara Box Set 2

The Galway Girls’ follow-up is a trilogy of novels featuring Dublin girl Emma, her beloved little sister Hazel, and the love of her life Declan—Box Set 2 of Ballydara novels. 

The set also includes two novelette-length short stories about Declan’s family, set in the misty green hills of County Galway. 

I’m delighted to announce Kobo Books has selected both sets for their current promo, 25% Off Box Sets Sale… code MAYBOX!

Now, a lot of you may focus on Amazon or Apple to look for great reads, and they are wonderful ebook retailers. 

Kobo Books might be unfamiliar, but it’s a terrific platform too. It’s based in Toronto, Canada, and they have a wonderfully supportive team that publishes ebooks, with frequent sales and promotions!

Kobo Books is such a terrific place to buy books, I like to return the favor by making my Emma trilogy, Box Set 2, exclusive to Kobo. Although you can find the book at all ebook retailers, if you’d like to see it on Kobo, just scroll down to “Even more boxsets and bundles”!

Of course, most people might like to read just one book in the series before taking on a box set. Here’s a way to check out the series risk-free…

My first novel, It Only Takes Once, pictured above, is free at all ebook retailers—Amazon, B&N, Apple, Kobo and every other online bookstore you can think of! 

There’s more about It Only Takes Once on my website’s Village of Ballydara page.

You’ll find all about the rest of my Village of Ballydara books and more “Free to Read” homesteady reads and fiction at my website too…

The Kobo 25% Off Box Set Sale won’t last forever—it’s good through Sunday, May 12. So I hope you’ll take a look…

And keep in mind that all my books, whether my Irish novels or my Little Farm books, are available at your local public library—just put in a request!
