A New FREE Release from Author Rachel Morgan: FORGIVEN (A TROUBLE NOVELLA)

I've been wanting to publish some contemporary fiction for a while, and that time has finally arrived! The stories that make up the Trouble Series have been floating around inside my head for almost three years now, and I'm so excited for people to start reading them soon! To give you a taste of what's coming, the series kicks off today with the release of a prequel novella, FORGIVEN. It's slightly more serious than the novels to come, but there are some humorous moments :-) And because I am SO, SO appreciative of all the readers who've supported me since I first began publishing, I'm making this novella FREE as a way of saying THANK YOU!

So THANK YOU, dear readers,
and here it is!

Heartache, humour, and first love collide in this sweet romance novella ...

Three hundred and six days ago, Julia ran away from home. Abandoning her family, friends, boyfriend, and university plans, she fled with no explanation. She can't hide forever, though, and now it's time to face the mess she left behind.

(NA romance free of sexual content and explicit language.)

Sex and Bad Language in New Adult Novels

I may be in the minority here, but I'm certain I'm not the only one who gets turned off by all the sex and coarse language in New Adult novels. I've read excerpts from quite a number of NA books, and to be honest, most of them are bordering on erotica. Now if I wanted to read about the explicit, graphic details of sexuals acts (which isn't something that's ever really appealed to me in books), I would buy an erotica novel. But that's not what I want. I want romance and a good story!

So when I read the description of Lee Strauss's SUN & MOON and saw the note at the bottom -- not erotica - no explicit sex or coarse language -- I thought, Yay! How refreshing for an NA novel! And better yet, I was offered an ebook in exchange for an honest review! (Love it when that happens for a book I've already decided I want to read ;-) ) So I'll soon be letting you know what I think of SUN & MOON.

In the meantime, if you want to read this book for yourself, the fantastic news is that it's NOW AVAILABLE! Yip, today is release day!

Sun & Moon by Lee Strauss

(Book One in the Minstrel Series)

If you’re a fan of the movie Inside Llewyn Davis, ABC television’s Nashville or Colleen Hoover’s upcoming novel, "Maybe Someday", the Minstrel Series is for you!

The Minstrel Series is a collection of contemporary romance novels set in the singer/songwriter world. The books are companion novels, with shared settings and characters, but each are complete standalone stories with a HEA (happily ever after) and no cliffhangers!

She has a past. He has a secret.

Katja Stoltz is a risk-taking singer-songwriter hoping to make it in the indie music scene in Dresden, Germany. Micah Sturm's a brooding uptown banker on a quest.

Driven to the streets, Katja is picked up by Micah - but he doesn't want what she thinks he does.

There’s an undeniable attraction between them, a gravitational pull they both struggle to resist. Katja knows she mustn’t fall in love with this handsome enigma. There’s something dark lurking beneath the surface. He could be dangerous.

And even if her life isn’t on the line, her heart most definitely is.




*not erotica - no explicit sex or coarse language
