You can buy all her works on Amazon, available in paperback and for Kindle. Many of her works began on Kindle Vella.

Relaxing, endorphin-rush Summer Reading (and Marketing Tips) from Anne Trowbridge

Show notes: Anne's excellent, comprehensive website (via which you must subscribe to her free newsletter) is https://www.annetrowbridgebooks.com. She mentions in this interview (our second time chatting) the numerous promotional vehicles that have carried her books, for example, the one-time (now over) opportunity to download THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US (Cruz to Love Book 1) from https://www.romancebookworms.com. She is constantly on the lookout for these kinds of opportunities to present to her readers. One permanent freebie is CURVEBALL: A WEDDING NOVELLA, to introduce you to the CURVEBALL series. Direct link to that free ebook opportunity here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/vbv2ot6bxx. Just sign up for her newsletter (free) at that link and get the Curveball novella and enjoy the game! Batters up!

Obsessing about The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (with spoilers)

I read Oscar Wilde's epic novel for the first time in the autumn of 2019. I made this video on 21 October 2019. I did not cover all aspects of it, not by any means, but I think I touched on the major themes: youth & beauty forever versus aging, conscience & soul versus the form & surface of things.
