Settling into Spring

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter! I don't know how the weather is going in your area right now, but here in Pennsylvania it is well into Spring and STILL snowing. Which is seriously dragging down my mood. Spring is my favorite season and usually the season where I am most productive. Well, the productivity hasn't flagged, but I am hoping that the weather will shape up soon.

On a completely different note, I realized via an email from a supporter that I never announced that the "Golden Ticket" giveaway had winners, at least in the newsletter. All of the "Golden Tickets" have been sent out and included a bonus character drawing by me. The winners were: Max S., Jason M., Crystal P., Jodie S., Laura P., and Barbara S. They included 3 paperback purchasers and 3 preorder purchasers. I did put out photos of each package the week after launch. If you want to check out my other "Paquito" drawings, they are on the Clean Fiction Instagram and Facebook Group. I will be having another package give away soon because I have been working hard to find producers of the highest quality for Clean Fiction swag. That way I can offer swag to patrons on Patreon AND in more giveaways like the "Golden Ticket" giveaway.

Speaking of giveaways, I am pleased to say that the Spring Edition is doing even better than the Winter Edition when it comes to copies purchased, given away, and read on Kindle Unlimited. I am so happy that the community has grown, and after talking to the reviewers this past week, I can tell you that the Autumn Edition is going to be one for the books! If you are interested in advertising your book or your business in the Autumn Edition, I can send you the information via email. Your request can be sent directly to CleanFictionMagazine@gmail.com or submitted via the "Service Listing" form on cleanfictionmagazine.com

Hope you have a lovely day!
