Dearly beloved FF&SS reader fam,

This month is a special edition, because it’s all about books. I have an announcement to make about my own books, and I want to feature two authors this month, since I didn’t make it in time to do my second book for August. Without further ado, here are the announcements and featured books.

A Special announcement

In the past few weeks, I’ve had dreams of traveling, with or without a guide dog, sometimes on a bus, and sometimes not making it to the bus stop. A few days ago, God showed me what these dreams mean.

I published both of my books wide through both Amazon and Draft2Digital, and I wasn’t getting any sales on either platform. However, God led me to put Praying Through the Seasons back on Kindle Unlimited and to place The Spirit of Creativity\ on KU for the first time after years of publishing it wide.

What this means for you is that if you haven’t read either of these books, and you subscribe to Kinde Unlimited, you can read both books fro absolutely free. But if you choose to buy them, you can do that too. For those of you who love to get your eBooks from libraries, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered as well. The only services I checked on Draft2Digital are the library services like overdrive, Hoopla and others, so feel free to request either book from your local library.

Featured books

Without further ado, here are the featured books for August and September.

August’s featured author

September’s featured book

Born in sunny Nigel, South Africa, she now calls Johannesburg, the City of Gold, home with her family. By day, she’s a content creator; by night, an avid reader exploring stories that inspire her writing. Drawing from imagination, everyday life, and her deep Christian faith, Vida crafts tales celebrating hope, compassion, and human quirks. Though she has no pets, she continues hunting for a weird and wonderful hobby to spark creativity. Her stories invite readers into relatable, surprising, and unforgettable worlds—one story at a time.

Vida’s featured story is part of an anthology.
