Beyond Romance

January 5, 2026
Hello all my peeps and pups.

Welcome to the new year.

2025 Wrap-up - Milestones
The last SYKD I offered Lynx Clan 3: Forever for free and over 1800 readers grabbed it up. It was quite the thrill having my phone chime all day with each group of downloads. 

The rest of 2025 was pretty good too. There were 5 new releases, as well as 20+ new versions of previously released works including dozens of audio books. I've intentionally kept the price very low to allow my readers to snatch them up for as little as $1.99. With the price set as low as possible and the ebook set to free, it's a great deal.

A huge thank you to you, my peeps. There are now over 4000 of you willing to listen to me chatter every week. And over 750 who follow along on amazon. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all my peeps. (whispering the song... wind beneath my wings.) 
Thank you.

2026 Goals
Looking forward to the coming year, my thoughts are filled with hopeful excitement. I'll be working toward releasing 2 or 3 more Eagle Clan novels and several more novellas. With some luck I'll be able to complete one or two more series.

Another goal I have for 2026 is to improve these weekly love notes to my peeps. Here and there I'll be trying out some new contests. For instance, this month there will be a "Who said that?" contest. Check out below to learn more and take a chance to win a free book.



Read more and warm up with a spicy book!

I've been thinking about tweaking my brand graphics a bit. Ended up tinkering with some possible new banner options (while watching "Wednesday" on Netflix with hubby. Which one do you like better? Click on the that banner to vote for it.









Work in Progress Update
EC4: Guardian


He wanted to eat pizza and watch detective shows.

She wanted to survive long enough to star in them.

With a little luck and some decent backup maybe they will get to do both. Romie and Brianna will have to fight for their right to love each other.

I've been struggling with this story for a while but I think I untangled one problem that was holding me back.







This month I'm running a couple contests for readers who have already delved into the Beyond Romance Universe of stories.

Read this quote from one of my published works and see if you know who said it and in what book. Email your answer to LSHANNON@HOTMAIL.COM and win your choice of books.

The quote:
“Put me down. There’s no way I’ll be the sacrificial blond. See, I have brown hair."

Do you know who said that line? If you do, email the name of the character and the book it was in to me at LSHANNON@HOTMAIL.COM 

If you're not sure, maybe this will help...
Hint: She had to fall through a portal to find true love.


Contest Rules
*To enter email your answer to LSHANNON@HOTMAIL.COM before midnight January 10th.  
*The winner will be chosen randomly from the correct responses on the 11th and announced on the 12th. 
*Winner will get their choice off a free book - ebook, audio or print (signed). Ebooks will either be gifted or direct downloads. Audible editions will be offered as a "gift purchase." Only those in the continental US can choose the autographed print option.






SEASON OF GIVING
It's that time of year again and I'm giving it all away. Between now and my birthday on January 25th, I'll have at least one book free every single day. The best way to not miss a single gift is to follow my page on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/author/lshannon Check in every day and sort it by price. :) Having the extra followers helps Amazon show my books to other readers. It's like a little gift back. And if you have time to leave a review, that would be a big gift. Either way, thanks for all the love!
