Bookworms, Bring a Bigger Kindle: It’s Time to Stuff It Silly (Again)!

Dear reader,

You know those magical times of year that make your heart race with anticipation, your eyes widen in wonder, and your one-click finger twitch with delight?

No, I’m not talking about Christmas or the return of pumpkin spice season.

I’m talking about…
Stuff. Your. Kindle. Day.

That’s right. It’s back. And like your favorite snack aisle at midnight, it’s dangerously loaded. I mean thousands of free romance books. Thousands. Not a typo. I checked. Twice. (Because math and I are not on speaking terms, but I had to be sure.)

If you've never heard of the Stuff Your Kindle event, allow me to introduce you to your next addiction. It’s hosted by the fabulous folks at RomanceBookworms.com, and it’s like Black Friday for bookworms—but without needing to elbow anyone for a parking spot.

Now listen up, friends, because I’m not just here waving pom-poms for someone else’s party. I’ve brought gifts. This time around, two of my very own book babies are participating:

✨ A Pinch of Peril from my Magical Papillon Mysteries series — It's got ghosts, it’s got a murder mystery, it’s got a talking dog with more sass than a teenager in Wi-Fi withdrawal, and just the right sprinkle of romance. If you’ve ever wanted a cozy mystery with charm, chills, and a magical Papillon dog, this is your jam.

🎸 Guitars and Cadillacs — My country music romance that will strum your heartstrings, make you swoon, and possibly cry into a beer (but in a good way). There’s music, there’s mayhem, and of course, there’s love. It’s like Nashville had a baby with a romance novel and named it after a George Strait song.

So whether you're into sassy dogs and spooky small towns, or cowboy boots and backstages, I’ve got you covered.

Now is not the time to be polite. Now is the time to click like a caffeinated squirrel and load up on more free books than you can fit into your summer reading hammock schedule.

Because let’s be honest—we’re not just reading this summer. We’re romance hoarding with pride.

And if you happen to fall in love with a ghost, a country star, or a dog that can out-snark you, well… I won’t say “I told you so.” But I did kind of warn you.

Happy Kindle stuffing,

Sabine

A Labour-Free Labour Day? Yes, Please!

Hello and Happy Labour Day to all my lovely North American readers! Now, isn’t it just a little bit ironic that a holiday with the word labour baked right into the name is universally observed by doing absolutely none of it? Zero. Zilch. Unless, of course, you count the rigorous work of flipping burgers, casting fishing lines, and chasing wasps away from the potato salad. Then yes—we are a nation of highly skilled, recreational labourers. Olympic-level loungers, really. This year, I’m wholeheartedly leaning into the contradiction. After an exceptionally busy summer filled with writing deadlines, creative misadventures, and one unfortunate incident involving a Papillon, a pie, and a squirrel (don’t ask—Pixie is still refusing to discuss it), I’m embracing the art of not doing much at all. My Labour Day weekend plans include: Reclining in my favourite chair like a dramatic Victorian heroine recovering from a fainting spell. Watching the endless activity in the harbour just outs...

The Art of a Well-Timed Swear

There comes a moment in life when frustration bubbles over, and the only logical response is… well, a good, solid, soul-cleansing swear word. I’m not talking about casual, everyday muttering under your breath. No, I mean that moment when nothing else will do. The kind of moment where dropping your toast butter-side down feels like an act of war, where technology conspires against you, or when you stub your toe so hard you briefly see your ancestors. Now, I was raised in a house where we had a rule: Use your words, not you hands. This was my dad’s way of preventing sibling-induced concussions, and frankly, it worked. We weren’t an inherently violent bunch, but three kids in one tiny household meant tempers flared, and so did elbows. The logic was simple—if you had time to yell, maybe you’d have time to think twice before swinging. Or at least give your victim a solid head start. This philosophy stayed with me, though in adulthood, I’ve adapted it to use a well-placed expletive now a...

A Bird Pooped on My Head and Other Life-Changing Moments

True story: a peaceful morning, blue sky, the smell of damp leaves on the sidewalk, birds chirping with enthusiasm that can only mean one thing— trouble. I’m out walking my adorable Papillon, Blueberry (who is, let’s be honest, the true star of my writing life), when BAM. Something hits me. Not metaphorically. Not spiritually. Physically. With a plop. I know immediately. There’s no mystery here. I’m a cozy mystery author, and even I don’t need clues for this one. A bird just pooped on me. Right on the head. Bullseye. Olympic-level accuracy. Somewhere, that bird is getting high-fived by its feathered friends and earning itself a tiny gold medal for "Most Precise Aerial Delivery." And let me tell you—it was disgusting. So there I am, frozen on the sidewalk, trying not to scream in front of my dog, who is looking up at me like, “Why are you standing still, and also… ew.” I sprint home, Blueberry bouncing along beside me, clueless to the drama, and I leap into the shower...
