“For the Woman of Rome 1” is Free for “Read An Ebook” Week on Smashwords March 1-7, 2026

Hello to all of you, my readers. I am excited, because it is that time of year again. It’s “Read An Ebook” week. This year, I am happy to be giving you a special deal this week. I’ve made the first of the Erotic Roman Tales-FREE! You hear that right. I have finished this series and am happy to have you dive in with the first novella for FREE! I’ve also kept the next two novellas at the low, low price of just $0.99 each. I mean, a girl has got to eat. 😉

Here is the direct link to the book on Smashwords:

So, many of you may know or not, that Smashwords is a pioneer platform in self-publishing. It’s been around since the early ’00s. The platform has been running this promo since then to try to get everyone into and reading ebooks. I have tried to participate as much as I could, sometimes coordinating with other authors in the past. The pandemic has put a damper on a lot of my promos after. It’s just been a whole regrouping for a lot of people, including myself. But I am so very happy to be back into the swing of things, and to offer you all, this series starter title for this week.

If you’re not on Smashwords, it’s easy to get on it. Plus, it merged with Draft2Digital in 2022. They kept Smashwords for the storefront retailer, but moved all of the digital publishing to D2D. Which, was fine, since I was already there. I think the migration was better then when Createspace was migrated to KDP. Boy, I’ve been around. LOL

But anyhow, please enjoy the start of romantic erotic tale of Marcus and Cordelia. I have had a blast finishing it, and am so happy to have it wrapped up and ready for your reading pleasure. If you can, I’d appreciate any reviews or feedback either on Smashwords, Goodreads or here on the blog. I love to hear from my readers.

Until next time, remember, I write for your pleasure, and I’m happy to do so.

Lynda Belle Title Available During “Read An Ebook” Week at Smashwords

Hiya! Lynda here. Just letting you know I’m still here. 2024 was a crazy, overwhelming year for me. I seem to have let it slip by, with a book or two running around in my brain and not getting it down on paper. I am really trying to push myself to finish the “For The Women of Rome” series. I think I might have a way to finish what I’ve been working on. It is started, but how to wrap up the series has eluted me. I think I might have an answer now. Just got to get butt in chair and get it done. To when that will happen, all I can say is soon. Hopefully. But I have been focusing a lot on the collab with Marilyn Vix, that some of my own work has slipped. For that, I apologize. But I am trying to rev myself up again. Any support you lend me in your comments is very appreciated. So thank you.

I’m getting back in the saddle, and working on projects. Just hang in there with me. Hopefully, I’ll have a new release soon. Meanwhile, please enjoy this free deal going on at Smashwords right now. From March 2 through March 8, I’ve put one of my stand alone shorts on special as a free download. It’s part of the “Read An Ebook” deals week at Smashwords. Started to help promote ebooks, it’s become kind of a traditional promo in the Indie author community. Smashwords has helped so many of us get recognized and allowed us to sell our ebooks in this new world of digital publishing. If you have it already, thank you for the support. If not, check it out below. And please enjoy my digital catalog as I work this year to add to it. If anything, it will feel good to finally finish the Roman Erotic Series. It’s been a fun one to write.

Until next time, get out there and read. Art can be healing.

Update: From the downloads of this promo, it’s really been so supporting and motivating. I have to add that I have been feeling more balanced and stable financially. So, I’ve been able to take up the pen again, and get back into some writing projects. I have dived back into finishing “For the Women of Rome III”, the last in the series. I now have it outlined and figured the plot. I am over half way writing it. I did start this a few years back, but it fell by the wayside. It’s nice to be at it again, and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I will let you all know when the first draft is done and off to the editor. I am really hoping to have it done in a month or two. When I finish a series, I can put it into an Omnibus edition and even do a print edition of the whole series. So, wish me luck! I am looking at 2025 as a positive road to writing and getting you the end of the Erotic Roman Series. You won’t be disappointed! It’s super hot! I can’t wait to bring it to you soon.
