THE FRIDAY NIGHT FREEBIE IS BACK!
If you don’t know the history of the Friday Night Freebie this used to be a regular thing for almost two years back when I ran a romance book blog called New Adult Addiction. I’m not even going to link to it because no one has posted in years – don’t even bother to go check it out! lol!
I started that blog in late 2012 back when I was writing new adult science fiction because I was looking for book blogs to promote my fiction but there really weren’t any in the SF genre.
But I did notice that romance bloggers were everywhere and they had these cool memes and weekly “things” they did like Top Ten Tuesday and Waiting on Wednesday. And it was a pretty small and tight community.
So even though I wasn’t really into romance books (and I was not writing romance books either) I kinda got caught up in this whole romance book blogger thing and for whatever reason New Adult Addiction gathered quite the following over the next year.
I read and reviewed hundreds of romance books. I signed up for every cover reveal, and every release blitz, and (if I had time) I made long posts for the weekly meme stuff.
In fact, doing that book blog was how I first taught myself to use Photoshop. I went a little crazy making graphics.
There used to be this app called Linky that all the blogs would use to kinda sign-up for these meme things. And you could click on the Linky link at the meme home blog (who was the sponsor of the event) and go visit all the other people who were blogging about this that week.
And a lot of people did. I met so many people (lots of whom I still talk to today!!) doing that romance blog stuff.
So anyway, the Friday Night Freebie started at New Adult Addiction. And by 2014 I was going to signings as an author and I would just buy signed books so I could give them away for Friday Night Freebie. And every week I did one of these.
So I kinda miss blogging. I only have so much to say about myself here on jahuss.com so I figured – hey, why not bring back the FNF? It would give me something to talk about every week at least. And I’ll have cool giveaways and make readers happy.
The Friday Night Freebie is super simple. The giveaway starts every Friday afternoon (usually between 3-4 PM Mountain Time) and it ends Monday at 12:01 AM. Winners are chosen and announced on Monday. Very short giveaway. Super fun thing to do real quick.
And your chances of winning are pretty high because this ONLY runs on my blog. No other blogs host it so there won’t be very many people entering.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO “ALL THE THINGS” IN THE RAFFLECOPTER. You enter the way you like best. So if you don’t want to join a newsletter list – DON’T. If you don’t want to share a post on Facebook, SKIP IT.
None of it is required. As long as you enter at least one way, you’re eligible to win. And there is ALWAYS a very simple “Leave a comment” option. I love comments!
Usually the post is not this long. It’s very short and simple. So sorry for that. I just want to get everyone up to speed. Typically you’ll see the stuff below and none of that wordy stuff above!
BTW – IF YOU ARE A ROMANCE AUTHOR and would like to co-sponsor a FRIDAY NIGHT FREEBIE with me, feel free to fill out this form!
THIS WEEK’S PRIZE IS:
(1) Journal hand-made by ME! (See detailed pics in the gallery below)
(2) All my May book releases in paperback. Signed, of course! This includes Wild Thing, Booty Hunter, and Star Crossed.

GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL!
This one starts on May 31 and ends at 12:01 on June 3rd. Winners are picked at random using the Rafflecopter app. NO INFORMATION on the Rafflecopter will EVER be shared with another party. Nor will I ever use your private information in way you have not authorized. i.e. I will NOT be secretly adding you to my email list! 😉

My MIL’s birthday is Saturday and my mom’s 70th birthday is Sunday! Lots of old lady birthday celebrations and my mom “freaked” our 11-year old daughter out when she said she only wanted a sexy stripper as a birthday gift. Ewww grandma 🙂
lol
I love EOMS and thanks for the chance
This is exciting! Something to look forward to every week. I’ll be celebrating my son’s 12th birthday. He is growing up too fast.
I am packing up and moving out one daughter from boarding school. Then, I am watching another daughter’s award winning film at her film festival. Then, I’m drinking tea and reading. At night, the girls and I are watching some Korean drama while eating take out.
Congrats to your daughter and I bet you’re glad the other one is home! I always wanted to go to boarding school when I was a teenager! I think I watched too many episodes of “Facts of Life”!!
I’m painting my daughters room and hopefully getting some reading in ❤️
Nothing too exciting – planting a tree in my yard is the only set thing on my agenda.
This weekend? Still trying to recuperate from kid germs! Took a group of kids to the Global Finals for Destination Imagination in Kansas City, and along with the kiddos 3rd Place Trophy (in the WORLD!!!) I came home with the creeping crud. Ugh. So this weekend I will continue to down Mucinex, Sudafed and Tylenol and hope for it to go away. Have fun on your hike!
Congrats to your kids!!! Sorry you have the crud. I kinda have it too. 🙁
I am doing homework and hanging out with my kids and dogs this weekend. I can’t wait for your next book!
Finally relaxing after a busy week. Catching up on melting my kindle. How did I not know you also wrote books as KC Cross? I’ll never catch up on my reading! I’m a true addict when it comes to your books.
I’m doing laundry & ironing (yuck!) to pack for a cruise and a week in Florida directly on the beach! I need this vacation so bad! Lol
We are HUGE St. Louis Blues fans and had to turn down Stanley Cup Finals tickets to attend the wedding of a close family friend. But, they are turning the reception into a “watch party”, so we don’t have to miss all the action.
Just taking care of my beautiful mom since she needs help with everything while she recovers after her stroke. Oh, and in within, just listening or reading amazing stories from my favorite authors!!
What a wonderful giveaway! I will be working this weekend 😒 It’s not fun, but it has to be done
Finally relaxing after a busy week. I’m trying to melt my kindle. How did I not know you wrote as KC Cross? I’m never going to catch up. I’m a true reading junkie for your books.

It was my husband’s birthday this week so I took him to a carnival! It was rained out all week but we watched the fireworks and made it home just before we got more rain. I’m so fucking sick of rain and flooding and tornado warnings! That’s not normal for us. I’m right outside Philly and a tornado touched down about 20 miles away a couple days ago!
I am really looking forward to this series. That journal is beautiful! Thanks so much for the chance!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance!
