Another Deal, Another Day: Juneteenth Sale

So, you guys showed up like crazycakes in March for the IR/MC March Madness sale. You, the reader, made it a great success. 

Guess what? (If the post's title wasn't a spoiler...) I'm having another group sale with IR/MC author. 

What is it? 

It's a celebration of Juneteenth.  

Why Juneteenth? 

The simple fact is there was a time in America's history where folks would get fined, punished or thrown in jail for teaching people of color to read. More specifically, teaching slaves to read. The general fear was if you taught slaves how to write they might, you know, think about their lot in life. They may not be happy about it. They just might educate themselves. And then the nightmare would begin: they might educate others.

What I do every day as a passion, for a living was illegal in the United States. Took some time for the word to get out that slavery had been abolished and that was just one step closer to where I'm sitting now. I don't know about you, but I think that's cause for a celebration. It's worthy of taking a moment.

Why a group sale?

Who doesn't love a sale? Me, along with other IR/MC fabulous authors (Bettye Griffin, LV Lewis, Holley Trent and Ambrielle Kirk...just to name a few) will discount some of our titles. Like, DISCOUNT. Tell your friends and have their friends tell their friends to get ready for this sale.

When?

June 13th-19th

June 5th I'll have the full list and details of where you can find these discounts and the authors participating. I'll post links and use excessive amounts of exclamation points. Stay tuned.
