What is the big deal with reviews?

Over the years, I have been a fortunate author-pirate.

Many kind readers have taken the time to write reviews for my books on Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc.

These reviews have lured new-to-me readers to give my books a try, which in turn makes each new release more exciting and keeps me typing away at my keyboard while new stories flow onto the pages.

It’s a wonderful circle and I am so appreciative that I can keep telling stories about my characters’ adventures year after year.

What is a Review Crew?

I decided to change things up on my author-pirate ship this year.

Instead of sharing the rewards of my adventures with those who help holler to the world about my books, I thought I’d focus on sharing pieces-of-eight treasures (aka “author swag”) with my fellow book-page travelers who leave reviews sprinkled here and there on the digital landscape (in both old lands and new worlds),

In short, if you leave a review for one of my books somewhere, I’ll throw your pirate hat into the ring to win a prize via a random drawing.

For CHEWED UP BY THE JUNGLE (Dig Site Mystery Book 3–released October 22, 2025), after you share a review I will mail you a book swag gift and add your name to the prize drawing. (Note: One book swag gift per person.)

This review crew reward drawing may happen monthly, quarterly, or whenever a new book is released.

I will update this page regularly with the latest prize drawing, so be sure to bookmark it and/or revisit it regularly.

CHEWED UP THE JUNGLE prizes:

How does this all work?

1. For this first time, review the newly released book, CHEWED UP BY THE JUNGLE.
2. Email me a link to your review (or send a copy of it) and your mailing address. Be sure to let me know where you left the review (Amazon, Goodreads, Kobo, the local newspaper, a truckstop bathroom stall door, mass fliers dropped from an airplane, etc–you get the picture). Send it to: AnnCharlesAuthor@gmail.com with BOOK REVIEW in the Subject line.
3. Go out and share the review on another platform and send me that information, too. You can throw your pirate hat into the ring multiple times for the drawing, matey.

Note: Periodically, I might use your reviews in quotes about your favorite book to share with other readers sailing the high seas of fiction.

What is in this for you?

Besides my humble gratitude for helping me reach new readers, you will get some fun author swag plunder and more page-turners to keep you entertained during rough seas and smooth sailing adventures.

The star in this month’s spotlight is … Yasmine Galenorn!

April’s Wonderful Author is … Yasmine Galenorn.

Yasmine’s Bio:
I knew I wanted to be a writer when I was three years old. I learned to read early, and I actually remember that it suddenly dawned on me that people made the books that I was learning to read. I was like, “People actually make those. They don’t just appear.” Right at that moment, that’s when I knew I wanted to make books. I remember the very first story I ever told my mom was about a pair of green curtains in some shop. All the other curtains were being sold and the green curtains were green with envy because they wanted to go to a home, too. Finally, the green curtains were sold and were very happy. That was the first story I wrote. I read, continually. I would lose myself in my books. I would hide myself in my room and just read and write. I started professionally writing when I was 13, and made my first sale when I was 15. It was a poem. Right then, I was like, “Okay, I can do it! It’s just going to take time.” So, I’ve been writing ever since I could hold a pencil.

With over seventy-five books on the shelves, Yasmine wrote in traditional publishing for twenty years and now indie publishing since 2016. Make sure you don’t miss any releases by signing up for Yasmine’s newsletter,

Yasmine lives in the Seattle WA area with her husband and is the mother of four cats.

The Morgan sisters are BACK …

“This dusty corner of Arizona is about to have a replay of the O.K. Corral!”

When “Crazy” Kate Morgan learns that her sisters are the next targets on a killer’s to-do list, she’s hell-bent on chasing down trouble before it rides into Jackrabbit Junction.

The problem: The darn law dogs keep nipping at her heels, tossing her in the hoosegow, and sidetracking her hunt.

The solution: A posse—the pricklier the better.

If Kate can dodge this peck of pickles long enough to catch the killer, she can prove she’s not so “crazy” after all.

Special Guest Stars: Hanging out in Jackrabbit Junction in this book are Natalie Beals (the Morgan sisters’ cousin), Detective Cooper, and Ol’ Man Harvey from the USA Today bestselling Deadwood Mystery series. You don’t want to miss the heated hijinks happening down in the Arizona desert!

Wrap Up

Deadwood Undertakers Series Update: The fifth book in this series (Hip Deep in Bad Company) will be heading to our editor in May. Sam and I can’t wait to share it with you early this summer!

Deadwood Mystery Series Update: I’m moving along on Book 14. I’m a little slower than usual yet as I still have days when grief rears its gut-wrenching head and interferes with my ability to escape into fiction. But the words are coming.

Dig Site Mystery Series Update: I’ve been stacking up the research books for the third book in this series, and I just found another one last week at Wupatki Ruins National Monument about archaeology and grave robbing. I can’t wait to continue the Dig Site crew’s story.

Jackrabbit Junction Mystery Series Update: While the Morgan sisters have this year off, there is a lot more to come with them down in southeastern Arizona, and I plan to write another novel in their series next year. I wish I could fit them in this year, too, but I’m not that fast of a writer, and I’m trying to enjoy time with my kids before they get busy with their own lives and leave home.

I hope you have been enjoying April and all that exciting weather and changes that come with this month!

Until next time,
Ann

I’m going to be honest about something: I haven’t been able to write much for the last month. I haven’t been able to round up the energy to be social online either.

Some of you may remember from last month’s newsletter that my mom was in the ICU in Rapid City, South Dakota. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it out of the hospital. After years of Parkinson’s and Dementia taking their toll on her mind, and then the dangerous infections that landed her in the hospital, her body was too tired to pull out of the tailspin.

Since I talked to you last, I’ve been reminded how precious family, friends, love, and laughter are. In the future, I would prefer these sort of reminders involve fewer sucker punches and less tears, but sometimes there is no way to avoid getting your heart bruised.

Thank you to all who reached out to me since Mom passed. Your thoughts and kindness were a sweet melody in sad times.

Now, my mom was a sassy spitfire, and she wouldn’t want me to dwell on life’s rainclouds for too long, so let’s move on to the fun stuff in this month’s newsletter:

* We have a brand new prize to win for this month, so be sure to throw your name in the hat for the drawing at month’s end.
* One of my favorite cool weather foods is in the recipe section: Chipped Beef in Cream Sauce (or S-O-S, which is one of the names we called it when I was a kid).

Chipped Beef in Cream Sauce (S-O-S)

Here is another yummy recipe from the out-of-print 2020 Ann Charles MOON THE COOK cookbook, which Mark and Michelle Davis helped put together.

This month, Mark, Michelle and I decided to share a recipe from Zoe Parker, Violet’s aunt in the Deadwood Mystery series–Chipped Beef in Cream Sauce (or as I knew it growing up: S-O-S). Yummmm!

_NOTE: This cookbook sold out in 2020, so for those of you who were unable to buy a copy from my Ann Charles online store before it was gone, now you’ll have access to some of the great recipes via my [monthly newsletters](https://anncharles.com/category/newsletters/)._

Wrap Up

Sam Lucky has been a busy bee! The end is in sight for the first draft of _Hip Deep in Bad Company_ (Deadwood Undertaker Book 5), with Sam typing away at the keyboard every day. I’ll keep you posted as we move closer to a release date on the latest exciting adventure in the Undertaker crew’s world.

As for me, after a month of living under a cloud of grief, the sun has come out again. I’m back to hitting the keys, too. And while I feel rusty at this point and wonder why I ever thought I could tell stories for a living, my mom would remind me that I always start out a book worrying that it’s no good. “Quit whining and keep writing,” she would say. So onward I go.

But I’m still going to whine a little. Ha ha ha!

Life is better when you’re laughing.

Happy February!

I’m writing to you from Rapid City, South Dakota this time. Unfortunately, I’m not here having fun, although the people I’m around every day are friendly and wonderful. I’m here because my mom had some health issues that led to severe infections and she ended up in the hospital’s ICU. She is making slow progress back to health, but it’s a roller coaster every day with some moments looking quite bleak. Many of you have probably experienced something similar to this with a loved one, so you can relate. I’m looking for rainbows and bits of joy in the thick of it all, and my family has been flooded with well wishes, good karma thoughts, and prayers. I can’t thank all of those who have shared positivity and kindness enough.

On a happier note, this month we have a great deal for Devil Days in Deadwood to share that lasts through the end of February. We also have an awesome free ebook from a funny author to share, a new prize opportunity, and a yummy recipe from my Moon the Cook cookbook archives.

Thank you for your support!

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” ~William Shakespeare

Violet Parker knows better than to play with devils. They always cheat, especially when lives are at stake. Deadwood’s charming, troublemaking, and soul-sucking devils are no different, and they’re biting at her heels. But the clock is ticking and Violet has no choice—she must risk her life to save her treasured Aunt Zoe.

With any luck, she might be able to trick the devils and beat the old terrors at their own game. If not, Deadwood could end up short one Executioner.

“Executioners don’t duck, they swing.” ~Violet Parker

Wrap Up

I may be in South Dakota, but Sam is at home and working his fingers off to make it closer to the end of book 5 in the Deadwood Undertaker series, Hip Deep in Bad Company. You’re going to love the next chapter in Rabbit’s, Boone’s, Clementine’s, and Hank’s story!

I’m trying to write in between life’s calamities, and I’m making progress little by little. There will be more Deadwood Mystery series and Dig Site series tales this year as well as a Deadwood Undertaker book. For those of you who enjoy the Morgan sisters and their Jackrabbit Junction follies, I will work on their next book slowly but surely with the hope of releasing it in 2025.

I appreciate your patience as we take care of our family in between telling fun stories.

How Do I Help My Library Win Books?

It’s easy. All you have to do to nominate your local library is send an email to Reader@AnnCharles.com with “Lovin’ My Library” in the Subject line by December 30, 2017. PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL:

• The name of your library.
• If your nomination wins you will be asked for the name and email of the person at the library who receives/accepts books to enter into their library catalog system. (please verify with your library that they accept donated books)
• The library’s mailing address and web link.
• Include your name and mailing address.

NOTE: Listing all of the above information in your email will ensure your library is entered in the drawing. Winners will be announced in early January 2018.

What Does My Library Win?

If your library is one of the fifty winning entries drawn at the end of December, we will mail four printed books: Look What the Wind Blew In by Ann Charles, The Warrior Trainer by Gerri Russell, Switching Hour by Robyn Peterman, and Death’s Refrain by Terri Reid to your library. All four books are bestsellers by award-winning, bestselling authors.

Because this gift is actually from YOU and not us, your name will be listed as the “donor” on the inside cover of each book. Each winning library will also receive bookmarks to share with other patrons and will be mentioned on this webpage and Facebook.

BONUS! As a donor, YOU will receive a custom autographed magnet as a “Thank you!” from Ann, Gerri, Robyn and Terri. How often do you get to win a promo prize with FOUR bestselling author signatures on it AND feel good about helping your library acquire bestselling books for free???

What Are the Details Again?

To enter the Lovin’ My Library contest, email the name of your library, the library mailing address and web link. (Also, include your name and mailing address) to Reader@AnnCharles.com with “Lovin’ My Library” in the Subject line by December 30, 2017. Winners will be announced in early January 2018.

If you have any questions, email them to Reader@AnnCharles.com

THANK YOU and HAPPY SEASON OF GIVING!
