September 2026

Just over two months before the release of At Their Mercy! I'm almost done with the second edit round, so I'm well on schedule to have it all done in time for that NOVEMBER 15 date. Would you like a little teaser? Here's a graphic AND scene teaser. If you're on my JWHMembersOnly Facebook group , I'll have an exclusive early THREE CHAPTER peek by the beginning of October. Drop below the teaser for preorder links and the link to CHAPTER ONE.

“Anything we can give you, nena, before we use you even harder than we have so far?” Ren murmured.

Swan's heart slammed against her chest, doing a double time thud. Was she daring enough to ask? Standing on her knees, she laid a hand on each man’s leg. “A kiss, from each of you. Please? Sirs?”

Bastion’s stern expression softened. “All right. But keep your hands where they are.”

He gave Ren the first turn. He leaned in, touched her chin, and put his mouth on hers. Her hand tightened on his knee, holding on as he sweetly and sensually took over her mouth, stroked her in ways that had heat sliding through her body. Reassuring her that she was more than capable of rising to the challenge they were demanding.

Though it wouldn’t matter if she was or not. They were going to take, and she was going to give.

Note: According to my original source, "nena" is loosely translated as baby girl. I checked with my bilingual readers and those with Mexican family members, and there was some debate on it, though they agreed it is an endearment. They also gave me some other options, so Ren has more than one choice to use throughout the story.

Hope you enjoyed this brief glimpse of our threesome! Here are the buy links and a Chapter One teaser (click the graphic for that):

Preorder Links

Universal Link * Amazon * iBooks * Kobo * Google * Nook

Note: For those who want the print format, while it isn't eligible for preorder, it will become available about 7-10 days before the ebook release. Hopefully it will reach your doorway well ahead of or no later than the ebook release date. There are no plans for audio at this time.

HOW ABOUT SOME FREE EBOOKS?

I've been doing the social media follow contests for the past few months with Get That Book, and while I thank you for the increase in followers on those platforms, I'm happy to report September's Get That Book contest has something for everyone, not just a one- winner giant gift certificate offer. But you have the chance for that, too! Stuff your e-reader with almost 2 dozen FREE books from some of your favorite or to-become-favorite authors, AND enter to win a $100 gift card. Click here or the graphic below to start downloading. Have fun! (Contest/books available Sep 1-30.)

AND MORE FREE BOOKS!

On September 3, the After Dark Social Club, run by erotic authors Eden Bradley, Sierra Cartwright and Scott Carpenter, celebrated the fall season early with FALL FREEBIE day, inviting authors to post graphics, excerpts and links for FREE EBOOKS for readers. They had a bunch of responses! While that was yesterday, the posts are still there, so go take advantage of them! Click here or the graphic below. Note: if you're joining this fun and spicy group for the first time, don't forget to answer the member questions to be approved.

OFFICE/CLOSET ITEM GIVEAWAY

You'll remember last month I was re-homing conference book cover banners, MP3 audiobook disks, and my remaining promotional mugs. I'm happy to report almost EVERYTHING has been taken. I also had some T-shirts I gave away on my Facebook group. While they were mostly small sizes (and most of us are not small - I was at one time, lol), my ingenious readers were happy to have them for quilt squares or pillows. I love knowing they'll get a second life that way.

So what do I have left? THREE mugs. Two Make Her Dreams Come True, and one Hostile Takeover. If you want one, it can be yours for just the $10 shipping. If you want more than one, we can work that out, too. Just email me at storywitch@storywitch.com if you're interested in either or both designs. If you've already received a mug and want another, you can reach out as well. I won't think you're greedy (grin).

THE MISTRESSES OF THE BOARD ROOM REMINDER

All the Mistresses of the Board Room books can standalone, but there are guest appearances by the other MCs throughout the stories. Introduce yourself to all the Mistresses or enjoy a re-read while waiting for the release of At Their Mercy.

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING: As explained in prior newsletters, the reason Bastion's story doesn't fit with the Domme driven arcs in the rest of the series is because the MBR world loosely parallels the Knights of the Board Room series (which kicked off the MBR). Janet, who was Matt's admin and a Mistress, was the only Domme story in the KBR. Likewise, Bastion's book is the only Dom story in the MBR, and he is Rosalinda Thomas's executive admin. The muse likes her symmetry, lol.

THANK YOU AS ALWAYS!

THANK YOU ALL for continuing to spread the love of my work to fellow readers, through reviews and discussions with friends, family, bookclubs, on social media platforms and more. Reader recommendation is the best kind of marketing an author can have. So thank you - it's ALWAYS appreciated.

Now on to this month's 📚📚📚 FOUR FEATURED EBOOKS!📚📚📚


eBook Spotlight

FEATURED EBOOKS! CLICK THE COVER OR TITLE TO DOWNLOAD

Ellen's story features a woman on the verge of being a sacrifice for a dryad race, but who instead falls into the hands of the most wanted member of their species. He's charming, flirty, and willing to help topple a kingdom with her. Nicole has a hot standalone MC reverse harem romance with a fierce heroine and three possessive bikers who protect, punish, and worship her (anyone else feel a little weak in the knees?). If you want more of that RH goodness, then look to Ava's book, a slow-burn, emotionally charged 3 men-1 heroine romance filled with tension, devotion, and found family. It’s about choosing love when it doesn’t fit the rules.  Finally, Antoinette's heroine Imogen gets an exclusive invitation to the Dark Desires club, and is captivated by the intoxicating woman assigned to guide her, as well as the club’s commanding owner. She's spent a lifetime suppressing her desires - but tonight that ends. 

(Note: some - but not all - featured ebooks may require newsletter sign up.)

[Reminder: Books that are FREE or with SALE PRICES may be temporary, so grab them while they're available!]

2023 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

No conferences this year, but look under the Extra Stuff section for ways to get a signed book or swag from me anyway!

Extra Stuff...

Want a Kindle signature? My books are listed at the Authorgraph site, so if you'd like a "Kindlegraph", send me a request! Just go to Authorgraph.com, put Joey W. Hill in the search line, and it will pull up my books, with a "Request Authorgraph" button beneath each.

Want a signed bookplate for your print book and a bookmark? No need to be bummed about not seeing me at a book signing. Just shoot me an email at storywitch@PROTECTED with your mailing address and the title(s) of the book(s) for which you want a signature, and I'll send you personalized bookplates anytime, free of charge. And I always send it with a signed bookmark!


HAVE YOU CHECKED THE AUTHOR'S WEBSITE?

"I have a question." Answer: "Have you checked the author's website?"

I am ALWAYS delighted to hear from my readers, and I never mind answering your questions. However, about 90% of the general questions I receive on email can be quickly answered on my website, www.storywitch.com. And the cool thing is you get your answer in the time it takes you to do a couple clicks, versus having to type up your question and send it to me, then wait for me to emerge from my writing cave and check my email.

A lot of authors experience this now. Because we have so much more of a presence at FB, Twitter, and the like, it's easy to forget that most authors still maintain a website where you can quickly get info. On my site, you can not only find BLURBS and FREE EXCERPTS for every book I've published, you can find SERIES ORDER, including recommendations on which ones can stand alone or need specific titles to be read first. Under the In the Works page, you'll find information about UPCOMING RELEASES and what's percolating (the popular "will you ever write a book about so-n-so" question would be answered there).

Just go to my website, storywitch.com, and enjoy your visit. It is specifically and deliberately designed not to be flashy or confusing. Just look at the drop down menus at the top for what you're seeking.

Want a SIGNED BOOKMARK? I have seven beautiful bookmarks, each design representing one of my series: Knights of the Board Room, Nature of Desire, Vampire Queen, Arcane Shot, Daughters of Arianne, Mistresses of the Board Room, and Naughty Bits. You can look at them here (click on the one you like for a larger view).

Just shoot me an email at storywitch@storywitch.com with your mailing address and tell me which bookmark you want. I'll send you two of that design - one for you and one to share! And yes, I WILL mail bookmarks to international readers.  NOTE: some of these show previous cover editions, but hopefully that doesn't detract from their appeal! 

Want a SIGNED BOOK? Email me at storywitch@storywitch.com with 1) what book you want, 2) your mailing address, and 3) if you want me to personalize it to a particular name (Mary, Marie, Marissa, etc), or no personalization, just a signature and a cheery note. I'll send you an invoice and, once that's squared away, the book will be on its way to you!

Want a SIGNED BOOKPLATE? Want a bookplate for your favorite JWH book(s)? Just email me at storywitch@storywitch.com with your mailing address, the title(s) of the book(s), and I'll send you personalized bookplates anytime, free of charge. I always send it with a signed bookmark!

Want to read BONUS CONTENT STORIES revisiting my characters? I have over a dozen FREE novellas/shorts with easy BookFunnel download links. You'll find them all under the Cantrips (Vignettes) menu item on my website.

Want me to visit your BOOKCLUB? I'm available for online bookclub meetings and even sometimes in-person clubs, within a reasonable geographic range. Don't hesitate to ask! Just email me at storywitch@storywitch.com.

DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE? 

Responding to my readers, and doing so in a very timely manner (within 24-48 hours), is extremely important to me. So if you have sent a communication to me in any medium noted above and have not received a response, a technical glitch has occurred. Either your communication did not get through, or my response did not reach you. If you suspect that's the case, use one of the alternative methods to send me a "Hey, Joey, I sent you a note through email (or social media platform, etc). Did you get it?" message, and we'll make sure we sort it out. I will never intentionally ignore my readers!

ARE YOU A NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBER, BUT YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING MY NEWSLETTER PAST YOUR SPAM FILTER? - Whenever I issue a newsletter, I will also post about it on the social media platforms mentioned above, to ensure it reaches the widest number of people possible. So if you're following me on any of them, you'll get a heads up. Or you can put https://storywitch.com/newsletter/?latest as one of your Favorite links. You can click on it anytime to see if a new newsletter has been released. I try to get a new issue out during the first 7 days of every month.

HELP ME WITH FOLLOWS/REVIEWS

NEVER an obligation, but when you follow or review me on Bookbub, Amazon or both, it increases my books' visibility and marketing options on those sites. And in return, you get a heads up about releases and sales!

Thank you so much for your support of my work!
