Treat Yourself: A Kindle Vella & Smashwords Promo

This is one of two mid/near end month promos! The big one is the IHeartSapphfic end of year sale, where all books are marked down to $0.99! Including several of my own.

Treat Yourself! LGBTQIA+ Ediction! A Kindle Vella Holiday Promotion

Treat Yourself! Got that holiday shopping done? Party all planned? Or just need to relax from the holiday stress? These amazing Kindle vella authors have ther perfect way to help you unwind! All stories in this promotion feature LGBTQIA+ characters!
