Welcome to my first newsletter for July ’25.
You may have seen that I write across multiple genres, but this first letter is all about The Rue Stone. I hope you like it!
Taking Stock Newsletter No 1 July ‘25
A touch of wonder. A flicker of connection. Then, only the Rue stone remained.
Welcome to the first newsletter of janetstockwriter, and you’ve joined at a very exciting time as my YA Romantasy novella The Rue Stone is set to launch in September!
The blurb …
The Rue was thought to be extinct-until a mysterious guest arrived at the inn. Shrouded in a hood and silence, the stranger asks for a room and nothing more. But for barmaid Janna, his arrival changes everything. What begins as a quiet evening becomes a night of fleeting wonder, flickering power, and something close to connection. By dawn, he’s gone. Only a strange stone remains. And a question that won’t let Janna rest: Will the Rue return?
But only time and the Rue stone will tell.
If you’d like to be on the list for the next newsletter please go to my contact page and fill in your details there, or simply email me a janetstockwriter@gmail.com and I’ll add you on. Ditto if you like to be an ARC reader for The Rue Stone.
Thanks to you guys who volunteered to be my ARC readers, the final edits will be through and back to me by the 7th July, then during that week I’ll update the text and upload the book onto Amazon. Those of you who are having a kindle version of the book should have it by the 11th July. The paperbacks will be shipped at the end of that week.
