Closing 2025 with 1,700+ zero-cost books


Hello Dear Friend,

As 2025 begins to wind down, I’ve been feeling a little reflective… and very grateful.

This year held a big, tender milestone for me: the publication of Courage, Dear Heart. Writing this book asked me to go deep. It was emotional, vulnerable, and honest in ways I didn’t fully expect when I began. And hearing from readers who felt seen, comforted, or understood by its pages has been one of the greatest gifts of this year.

As we look toward 2026, I want to say thank you. Thank you for reading, for sharing kind words, for recommending my work, for showing up here. Your support—quiet or enthusiastic, private or public—matters more than you know.

I’m heading into the new year hopeful, inspired, and excited about what’s next… and I’d love your help with one fun thing.

What books are you excited to read in 2026?
What stories stayed with you this year?

Hit reply and send me your favorite recommendations. I’m building my 2026 TBR list and would love to fill it with books you loved.

And if Courage, Dear Heart (or any of my other stories) is still waiting for you, all of my books are available on Kindle Unlimited, ready whenever the mood for an emotional, heartfelt read strikes.

Wishing you a beautiful close to 2025 and a 2026 filled with great stories, brave hearts, and moments that move you.

With gratitude,

My friends call me Sister Callie. I'm the good girl. The responsible one who never took a risk and always did what was expected of me.

But that was before Jayden Reed stood before me, shirtless, jeans unbuttoned, and a sinful smile that promised to do wicked, wicked things to me.

I want him. I want to be reckless. I want one wild night. Consequences be damned, it’s time to be a bad, bad girl. Except I never imagined the consequences would come with a side of murder.

"The love of books is a love which requires neither justification, apology, nor defense." —.A. Langford

Until next year!

2025 wasn’t an easy year for me, and I know many of you felt that too. My hope is that 2026 will be gentler. Filled with kindness, joy, and moments where love shows up and reminds us what matters most.

Happy Reading and Happy New Year!
Much love,

Erica

Happy June, my friends! Not much is happening around here this week, but I do have two stories to share. First, my son surprised me with the coolest gift. He ordered an apron from William Sonoma, hand-drew Baby Yoda in Illustrator, and then embroidered the design himself. Let me repeat that: he drew it and then embroidered it. I can barely sew on a button, so I'm beyond impressed. How adorable is this? I absolutely love it, and it may be my new favorite kitchen accessory. My second story...

Flowers

Hello friends! Spring has finally arrived. The cherry trees are in bloom, flowers are popping up everywhere, and dandelions have officially taken over the yard. Best of all—I’m no longer freezing. 😊 Lately, I’ve been working on a couple of projects, including something completely new for me: fantasy. I’ve always loved reading fantasy and paranormal—they’re my favorites—and this particular story has been living in my head for years. I finally started writing it. I’ll admit, writing fantasy...

Courage, Dear Heart book cover

Meet an author edition! Hello friends! I want to introduce you to an author I think you'll love. Do you like romance with a touch of danger? I have a treat for you. Meet Breanna Lynn. I'll let her introduce herself: Hi, I’m Breanna Lynn, the girl with her nose in a book growing up who ended up an author. I write steamy contemporary romance and romantic suspense and every book has its own playlist—because music is what feelings sound like. When not trying to get words on the page, I’m either...
