The Gifts of Reading, Writing and Friendship.
It all started a few weeks ago, when a small group of book club and women’s fiction authors – Kimberly Brock, Emily Carpenter, Katherine Scott Crawford and M.J. Pullen – escaped for a weekend to beautiful Lake Cherokee in South Carolina. We went away to write, talk by the fire, and refresh our spirits in the warmth and light of friendship and writer camaraderie.
We all write slightly different genres: historical, humorous, literary, and suspense fiction. But we share a love of the written word, telling stories, and the strong, funny women who inhabit our imaginations.
Which brings us to Kindle Deals in December…
We (Kim, Emily, Katherine and M.J.) are so thrilled to announce that all four of us have AMAZING deals on our books from December 16 to the 31st!

Kimberly Brock – The River Witch
Regular Price $7.99 – Sale Price $0.99
“Kimberly Brock has an amazing voice and a huge heart; The River Witch welcomes the reader to a haunted landscape, authentically Southern, where the tragedies of the past and the most fragile, gorgeous kind of love-soaked hope are equally alive. This is one debut that you absolutely should not miss.”
—Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Almost Sisters, The Opposite of Everyone, and Someone Else’s Love Story
Emily Carpenter – Burying the Honeysuckle Girls
Regular Price $3.99 – Sale Price $1.99 – starts December 17th
“This novel doesn’t stop running, and neither would you if you were Althea Bell. She’s just learned that for three generations the women in her family have vanished or died on their thirtieth birthday—and hers is fast approaching. To survive, she must race to solve a century-old mystery. Emily Carpenter has written a hell of a thriller with language as lush as its Southern setting.”
—Benjamin Percy, author of The Dead Lands, Red Moon, The Wilding, and Refresh, Refresh
Katherine Scott Crawford – Keowee Valley
Regular Price $4.99 – Sale Price $0.99
“Keowee Valley is a terrific first novel by Katherine Scott Crawford–a name that should be remembered. She has a lovely prose style, a great sense of both humor and history, and she tells about a time in South Carolina that I never even imagined.”
—Pat Conroy, bestselling author of The Prince of Tides and South of Broad
M.J. Pullen – Sugar Street
Regular Price $3.99 – Sale Price $0.99
“[Pullen] systematically dismantles the contentment of her very comfortable characters while also keeping the story bouncing with zippy, involving dialogue and a fine sense of dramatic pacing. A glitzy romp that features suburban wives making unconventional—and haphazardly disastrous—attempts to break out of the safe patterns of their lives.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“M.J. Pullen brings clever quirkiness to romantic comedy!”
—Penny Reid, international bestselling author of Neanderthal Seeks Human
BONUS: PAPERBACK SALE!
Emily Carpenter – Every Single Secret
Regular Price $14.95 – Sale Price $6.99
“Emily Carpenter begins Every Single Secret on a creepy premise: couples therapy in a remote mountain resort, where every room has eyes—hidden cameras watching every move. Buckle up because this is one hell of a ride, a rocket-paced, edge-of-your-seat story you’ll want to devour in one sitting. A knockout, easily one of my favorite books of the year.”
—Kimberly Belle, bestselling author of The Marriage Lie

Hi ladies, thank you for the opportunity to know you all and your books! “Every Single Secret” sounds intriguing because I am a big fan of mystery/suspense thrillers!! Nonetheless, I am open to read other genres that are good reads. Thank you for the chance to win your books.
Welcome Emily! You’ll love Every Single Secret and Burying the Honeysuckle Girls because they are both Southern Gothic suspense. And thanks for checking out the three other books too — not a bad deal for the cost of a latte!
Newbie to all.
Well, then, WELCOME! I think you’ll find that while we all have very different writing styles and genres, there’s a connecting sensibility that runs through our work: strong women, exciting stories, and deeply different but all authentic Southern settings.
I just got my paperback copy of Every Single Secret today. Thanks for sharing these great deals!
You’re so welcome! Enjoy (and don’t forget to review if you love it). xoxox
