To celebrate the release of a number of my books in audio book format, I’m running a special promotion. Take a look at the book descriptions in this edition of my newsletter. If you see a book you’d like to have as an audiobook, simply email me at don@donmassenzio.com and I’ll send you a promotional code that will allow you to get a free copy of the audiobook from audible.com. Be sure to let me know which book you would like and whether you live in the US or the UK. I only have promotional codes for those two countries. I only have a limited number of codes to give away for each book, so if you’d like a copy, please respond without delay. Once you listen to it, a review on audible.com would be great, but it’s not mandatory. Here are the books that are available: Frankly Speaking–…

Well, it’s been a while. I used to be a fairly active blogger and writer and, frankly, I’ve missed it.

It’s been months since I’ve made an original post. My job has been very intense and it prevented me from being the blogger and writer that I wanted to be.

What I’ve decided to do is to make a gradual comeback. I’ve got some announcements about audio books that are now available and upcoming writing ventures that I want to share.

I also miss reading some of my favorite blogs and passing them on to my followers.

I might not post every day, or every week for that matter, but i will be on here and I will be reading and sharing select blog posts when I can.

I hope all of you are doing well and I’m looking forward to some interaction, no matter how intermittent.

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Cafe and Bookstore where I share recent reviews for the authors on the shelves.

The first author today with a recent review is Jean Lee for her YA/Dark Fantasy Fallen Princeborn: Stolen

About Book 1 of the omnibus, Fallen Princeborn: Stolen

Over the Wall, they came to hunt humans. But now, a human’s going to hunt them. This girl’s nobody’s prey.

In rural Wisconsin, an old stone wall is all that separates the world of magic from the world of man—a wall that keeps the shapeshifters inside. When something gets out, people disappear. Completely.

Escaping from an abusive uncle, eighteen-year-old Charlotte is running away with her younger sister Anna. Together they board a bus. Little do they know that they’re bound for River Vine—a shrouded hinterland where dark magic devours and ancient shapeshifters feed, and where the seed of love sets root among…

I wrote this story, Sebastian Meets Marvin the Monkey, for my youngest grandson when he was only three. He still has his monkey with him when he sleeps. He is now five years old.

Children will learn that is it important to be kind to animals as well as others. All Jemsbooks children’s book carry life lessons that will encourage children to be respectful of others, listen to your mother, accept differences, love oneself, be the best you can be, it is okay to be different and believe in yourself.

This is a fun and musical adventure for children. They learn as they read along or are read to by their parents. Young children in preschool and kindergarten love this book! There are fewer words on each page and more colorful animals to enjoy! Cover and illustrations by John Spina.
