Here’s details and a link to my third (and most successful so far) Book Funnel promotion, July Beach Reads, which runs throughout July and features 80 books or samples (some free or reduced in price) which all focus on family relationships.

My own book that I’ve added to the promotion is ‘The Daughter-in-law Syndrome‘, which will be just $0.99/£0.99 until July 31st. If you click on the link above you will be able to download a free sample:
The Daughter-in-law Syndrome investigates the complicated relationship causing much friction between Grandmother Edna Deane and her daughter-in-law Arla. In addition it focuses on the sometimes tumultuous partnership between Arla and her husband Ric.
Arla Deane sometimes likens her marriage to undergoing daily psychological warfare. Husband Ric will never voice an opinion, and puts his mother Edna up high on a pedestal. Arla is sick of always feeling that she comes in at only second best to her mother-in-law, who much to Arla’s fury is never told anything by Ric or his sisters that she would not want to hear.
This novel explores the husband/wife, mother/son, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. After twenty eight years of marriage, Arla, the daughter-in-law, is at the end of her tether and persuades a reluctant Ric to accompany her for marriage guidance. As they look back over their lives with Counsellor Toni Beecher, Arla slowly comes to realise her own failings, and eventually discovers the long-hidden reason why Ric will never utter a cross word to his mother.
Also, adding to Arla’s stress is the fact that her son Stuart will soon be marrying Ria, a girl whom Arla feels is just looking for a free ride. Arla is convinced that Ria will be no asset to Stuart at all; her new daughter-in-law just wants to be a mother and has no intention of ever working again once the babies start to arrive. After visiting Stuart and Ria for Sunday lunch, Arla is convinced that her son is making the biggest mistake of his life.
5 Star Review by Janice Spina:

Yes, July Beach Reads is a promotion that I’ve organised and I’ve already had 2 sales of The Daughter-in-law Syndrome which is the featured book. I’ve also had nearly 500 readers subscribe to my mailing list, which I didn’t have before I joined Book Funnel. It’s a good site for book promotion. Perhaps have another go at getting your head around it?

I’m really pleased with how well you get on with Book Funnel, Stevie, for I wasn’t so lucky. I seemed to get everything wrong and couldn’t quite understand how everything worked. I know my brain is a bit decrepit, but didn’t think it was that bad!
