New Year, New Beginnings
A Chance to Make New Memories
New Year, New Beginnings
Hello,
I'm sure that you have all been busy getting ready for the holiday season, and this year has been a hectic one. We have been through some ups and downs that we never expected that we would and after overcoming so many barriers, I for one am excited for a new beginning.
Since we have been homebound for most of the year, I had the chance to concentrate on my writing more and I had the opportunity to meet wonderful reviewers and new readers that I may not have had the chance to if we weren't given all of this time. I am thankful for all of the encouragement and feedback that my readers have given me, and I am also thankful for all of my fellow writers who have gone out of their way to make sure that there were still sales and giveaways for readers during this time.
Now that we are beginning a new year, I have decided to work on some new projects. One of the projects that I am currently working on is rewriting the Avery Detective Series. My readers wanted more in-depth information about the characters in this series, and after sitting down and rereading the first edition, I decided to write a second edition of Sentiment to the Heart that told the in-depth story of how Parker and Kay got together. I am happy to say that this special version of the story is now available in retail, and I am excited to share it with you.

Other than rewriting this novel, I have also been working on several Audible projects. My narrator has been hard at work, going through all of the scripts and bringing my books to life. I am very thankful for her dedication to my projects. She recently completed the narration on one of my newer reads, Beyond the Lights, and from what I understand, this audiobook will be available on Audible, ITunes, and Amazon soon. She is also in the process of finishing the audio version of Complicated Heart, and that will head to retail right after the new year.
Once 2021 begins, I will be working on the rewrite of the second book in the Avery Detective Series, Trusting Heart. I am hoping to complete the rewrites by mid-June, and then, my focus will be on a new novel that I have started.
I look forward to telling you more about the progress of these new works. I wish you all a Happy Holiday, and a Happy New Year.
Stay Safe and Well,
Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue

Fall is Finally Here
Fall is Finally Here!
Hello,
Yesterday marked the first day of fall, and you could say that I'm excited! I love this season! It marks the beginning of several family activities that I like to participate in such as pumpkin carving, decorating, and my favorite activity...baking! I don't know if you know this, but I love to cook, and I am an avid baker. If I haven't made an item in the past, I will look up recipes and study the Food Channel until I can, and I love doing this. I feel like creating and sharing meals and desserts is a great way to create an environment of togetherness, so every year, I spend the last few months in my kitchen baking new items for my family.
Now that you know how enthused I am about this activity, I would like to pass a bit of cheer onto you. In celebration of the beginning of fall, I am giving away a Kindle copy of Food Truck Baby for FREE on September 28-29th. I feel like this novel encompasses both a story of food and family, and I originally wrote it when I was pregnant with my first child, so this book is very special to me.
Also, I have a bit of news to share with you. First, my audiobook, A Stepping Stone is now in retail, and Beyond the Lights is in the process of being recorded as we speak.
Second, for those that are new to this newsletter, please pick-up your FREE copy of Sentiment to the Heart HERE. Sentiment to the Heart is the first edition of the Avery Detective Agency Series, and the fourth book, Complicated Heart will be out on October 30th.
PREVIEW COMPLICATED HEART HERE!!
The third piece of news that I would like to share with you is that I have spent the majority of the last two weeks completing interviews for various blogs and Websites. This is something new to me, and I really enjoyed being able to share a little about myself in this process. If you would like to view these interviews, I have included the links below:
Selling Books Interview
Awesome Gang Interview
Bookreader Magazine Interview
BookGoodies Interview
I will also be featured on the Reading Nook blog and Nina Soden's blog in the future. I will send you more information on this once it is posted.
Lastly, as always I have included the monthly review groups and promotions at the bottom of the page. I have also included some promotions that begin in October.
Thank you all for your continued support, and stay safe and well,

End of July
July is Almost Over...
Hello,
This month seems to have come and gone exceptionally fast, but I wanted to drop you a little line before it is over. I have spent most of my month knee-deep in household renovations and trying to get homeschooling projects and literature ready for my middle child. When I have had a little downtime, I have also been working on the fourth book in the Avery Detective Series, which I am excited to say is coming along great! I am about a third of the way finished with this book, and if everything goes as planned, then I am hoping to release it in August or September.
Along with that, I also wanted to let you know that the Jems and Jamz series is featured in the latest Guest Blog on the Women and Words Website, so when you get a bit of time, feel free to check it out.
Finally, I have enclosed some of the end of the month promotions at the bottom of this email. There are several authors offering free audiobooks this month, and there are also a few Kindle deals. These deals will end in about ten days, so get them while you can.
I will be in contact again in a couple of weeks. Until then, stay safe and well.

Hello,
This month seems to have come and gone exceptionally fast, but I wanted to drop you a little line before it is over. I have spent most of my month knee-deep in household renovations and trying to get homeschooling projects and literature ready for my middle child. When I have had a little downtime, I have also been working on the fourth book in the Avery Detective Series, which I am excited to say is coming along great! I am about a third of the way finished with this book, and if everything goes as planned, then I am hoping to release it in August or September.
Along with that, I also wanted to let you know that the Jems and Jamz series is featured in the latest Guest Blog on the Women and Words Website, so when you get a bit of time, feel free to check it out.

Big News! And Freebies!
Big News! And Freebies!
Hello,
I have A LOT of big news to share with you this month. First of all, my newest book, Beyond the Lights was just released. I have been rather secretive about this project as I wanted to work on something that was a little different than my other recently released works. I spent many hours trying to craft this project, and I am happy to say that it turned out rather well. Beyond the Lights is a coming of age story about two best friends exploring their journeys and learning to deal with life as one comes out as a lesbian and the other tries to figure out who she is. I loved writing this story as it explores the more innocent nature of romance, and I feel like it shows the beauty of what it is like to fall in love for the first time. I have made this book available on Kindle Unlimited until mid-September to give those of you with a subscription plan a chance to read it for free, and I will expand the retail of this book worldwide after that. Beyond the Lights was also recently featured on Phoebe's Randoms.
The Jems and Jamz Boxset is also available on Kindle Unlimited for a short time to allow readers the chance to explore all seven stories for free. This boxset will be featured on the Women and Words blog on July 19th as well, where I will be explaining a bit more about the development of this project. I hope that you will take the time to check it out and see what Jems and Jamz meant to me!
Along with these two features, I will also be sharing an embarrassing moment for Project Laughter on the I Heart Lesfic Website. This project is meant to allow readers to get to know authors better, and let's face it, everyone needs a laugh now and then. This feature will occur on August 3rd, so if you get the chance, be sure to check it out!
Also, TODAY ONLY, I am giving away a FREE copy of the double feature A Brief Debacle/A Bit of a Pickle on Amazon. These two books are part of the Simmons series, and the series is focused around two seventy-year-old women that find themselves in the most hilarious predicaments. I initially began writing the series when the pandemic came down as a means of comic relief, so hopefully, it ends up brightening up someone's day.
That isn't the only freebie that I am offering today! As you know, I have had a few audiobook releases in the last few months, and I happened to save a couple of free codes for my subscribers, so if you are interested in any of the audiobooks that I have listed below, email me, and I will send you a free copy.
Don't Tell Me Twice
A Second Chance
To the Beat of Their Own Drum
The Catnip Conundrum
Finally, I wanted to share with you that I have enabled a new promotion for new subscribers. Any new subscribers that sign-up for my newsletter, will be able to get a free copy of Sentiment to the Heart. The link to sign-up is here, so feel free to share this promotion with your friends or family. I am working on the fourth book in the Avery Detective Series now, so this gives everyone a chance to get a head start on reading the first book before the new one comes out. Also, I have included the monthly reading promotions below. As always these are promotions run by groups of different authors, and they are great, because they give readers a chance to view new reads at discounted prices.
I will be in contact soon, and until then, stay safe and well,

"To the Beat of Their Own Drum" is Now an Audiobook
May Kindle Deals
May is Here!
Is it Already May?
Hello,
I can't believe that it is already May! It seems like the first couple of months have come and gone rather quickly. While all of the crazy of the events in this world are happening, I have been trying to spend this time concentrating on my writing and providing discounts for my readers. I have now finished the third book in the Simmons series, "The Catnip Conundrum", and I am currently working on a new novel. I haven't written a novel in five years, so this project may take me longer to accomplish. I will not release any further details on this specific project as I am still getting my footing back in this longer style of writing, but when I have something to show, I will surely let you know.
Other than that, I am happy to announce that "Don't Tell Me Twice" and "To the Beat of Their Own Drum" are now audiobooks. I am still waiting for the second book in the Jems and Jamz series, "A Second Chance" to be approved for sale, but that audiobook should be coming out any day as well.
I have also been participating in programs to help my readers get my books for a lower price. I have enrolled most of my novellas and novels in the Authors Give Back program sponsored by Smashwords. I have also enrolled my books in the Overdrive COVID-19 Library Support Program for those of you that use your local library to check-out books, and then, for those of you that shop on Amazon, I have listed the monthly group promotions below, which includes a long list of discounted books compiled by several authors that are currently offering discounts. The last promotion that I would like to let you know about is that for a limited time, you can get "A Fan to Remember" for free on Smashwords. I'm hoping that by offering these discounts, my readers will have something new and affordable to read while this global pandemic persists.
So, for the time being, I bid you adieu. I wish all of you well and for you to stay safe.
Till next time,
Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue

Hello,
Like most you are probably are, I am hunkered down at home, wondering when this craziness in the world will be over. However, I do agree with the experts that say that you need to keep yourself mentally engaged at this time in order to keep your calm, and because of that, I have been concentrating on writing The Simmons Series. This series is unlike any other series that I have written in the past as it is based on humor instead of romance, and though I have taken a different avenue in my writing at this point, I am truly enjoying it, because at this point of time, who doesn't need a little more humor in their life?
Along with focusing on writing, I have continued to work with Christy Sassmen and Kristen Szczesny in order to get the audio versions of my newer books out. Christy Sassmen is a very dedicated narrator, and she is the same narrator that narrated Compassionate Minds. Kristen Szczesny also does very good work, and she also narrated for me in the past and is known for the Avery Detective Series. I feel very fortunate that I am able to work with these narrators on these projects at this time as many people do not have the opportunity to work due to the world's conditions, and therefore, I plan on keeping them on staff until both of these series are on audio as it not only gives me an opportunity to share my work that way, but it gives them a job.
Other than working on my new series and the audiobooks, I have again teamed up with other authors to share book deals with the community. Many people are working on a budget these days, and lowering the prices on our work seems to assist in giving people entertainment while still keeping us on our feet. I have included some of these promotions below if you are interested at this time.
Lastly, I want to note that though this is a difficult time in the world, I have seen a lot of good come from it. There are nurses and doctors sacrificing themselves on the front lines for people, and I feel a lot of gratitude for these individuals. There are also people out there helping the elderly and others that are feeding people that may have issues getting food at this time. Personally, I think that this kind of goodness should be shown whether or not we are in a difficult state, and I hope that the kindness that people are showing now continues after all of this is finished. I thank all of you for your continued support, and I wish you to stay well.
Sincerely,
Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue

Spring Vibes
Dear Readers,
As we head into spring the emotional tension of the world is seemingly high. With the elections, the coronavirus, and other intense conversations going on, my family and I have decided to stick inside for a while. In an effort to distract myself, I have continued to work on my projects and collaborate with other authors and narrators to create a world in literature that can help my readers get away for a while.
Upon focusing more on my projects, I am happy to say that Don't Tell Me Twice has finally been recorded and is on the desks of the quality assurance team at ACX in order to be approved for retail. Also, the Jems and Jamz series as a whole is now completely finished, and all of the books in the series are available individually as well as in a box set.
Now that I have the opportunity to work on something new, I have decided to take a bit of a hiatus, and I have begun to write a short series that is a little out of my element. My new project will be a series of novellas focusing on the comedic adventures of two women in their seventies named Gertie and Edna. It is a breath of fresh air to be able to write something different and something that is more focused on light comedy, so upon its release, I hope that you will read it and feel the same way.
So, that is it for now. I hope that you and your families stay safe and sound, and I will be in touch soon.
Thanks again for your continued support,
Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue

"The Flood Between Us" will be Available on Audio Soon
"The Flood Between Us" was sent in for audio review yesterday and should be available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes within 10-14 days.
I'm very excited about this audiobook. The narrator, Delina Christie, did an excellent job in recording it, and I feel like this book is very relevant to the events that have occurred this year.
I originally was inspired to write this work when the cities around me and those in other parts of the country began to suffer from disastrous floods. Many people lost their houses and some lost everything. In writing this book, I was able to touch on this subject lightly while bringing something positive into what was a heartbreaking situation. The characters in this book defy all odds, suffering through the horrible conditions that a flood has left behind and finding each other in the process. The love story between Jack and Jill is very heartwarming, and I'm hoping to inspire others to find something good even when it looks like all odds are against them.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed the Kindle and Paperback versions of "The Flood Between Us", and if you did, I hope you get a chance to check out the audio version of this special love story.
Description
When a flood hits Grant's Landing, Jack is one of the first to respond by bringing her construction company to the town to rebuild houses. The town is suffering from lack of supplies, lack of business, and lack of housing, so members of the town are required to call in further assistance. Jill, a member of Hope's Integrity, decides to drive supplies to the small town, meeting the bruiting Jack who both challenges and excites her. The two women grow into each other's worlds despite the great differences that they have, but when conflicts from their pasts come to light, will they be able to stick together, or will the floods of differences that they have sweep them apart?
