Most of the last year, I've been in the Kobo forum, researching cool things like how to add extra fonts, and what's up with the newest firmware, and how can I make these margins smaller--oh thank heavens there's a patch to fix this--but what the heck is a patch and how do I get it to work?

All this is a prelude to assure other members that I'm not only here to try to sell my book, although it looks like that because I don't really post things. I'm pretty shy.

I recently published a book of poetry. It's available for Kindle, Kobo, and iBooks, and it's also on Scribd and Oyster. (Hopefully it'll be online for Nook pretty soon; I'm working on it!) The title is Happenings, Heartbeats, and Mental Breakdowns. Here's the description:

Sometimes I think summer has its own
pattern after all, some weirdly repeated

series of actions, happenings, heartbeats,
and mental breakdowns.

These are the first lines of “Road Work,” the poem that opens this collection and sets the tone for the rest of the book. The poems are personal, emotional, and sometimes confessional, but Manthe always strives to engage readers’ minds as well as their hearts. Many of the poems reflect the author’s lifelong struggle with depression, and others who have experienced the isolation that often comes with mental illness might find a little comfort and a sense of familiarity in these pages.

There are lighter moments, too: follow the nervous driver of “Nighttime on 95,” enjoy a snack of “Apples and Hot Chocolate,” and watch the speaker become first enamored, then annoyed, with a guy named Phil in “A Slice of Otto B.” From adolescence, and the joys and pains of young love, to marriage, motherhood, and the deaths of her parents, Manthe’s poems explore what it feels like to be constantly buffeted by the forces and stresses of everyday life, when she’d rather be lost in a book.

Thank you for your consideration, and thanks to MobileRead for the chance to do a little self-promotion!

It's been a while since I've been here, and I still don't know if I'm in the right place, but here goes my self-promo. I'm sure I'll hear about it if I'm in the wrong place again.

If you want a straightforward time-travel romance, keep looking. If you want true-to-life women’s fiction, this isn’t it. But if you’re willing to suspend your disbelief for a little while, you might enjoy RUBIES AND OTHER GEMS, women’s fiction with a time-travel twist. A Kindle Unlimited book.

5 stars for RUBIES AND OTHER GEMS. “Joyce DeBacco has written a bittersweet story of regrets and promises, and one woman's struggles to save her marriage and her family, and to discover herself in the process. A lovely read.”

My science fiction/alternate history collection "Exchange Sampler and Companion" is free for one more day. Here's the blurb:

Safe in suburbia?
Not when town-sized chunks of our reality swap places with a wild, untamed alternate universe.
• A freaky smart bear escapes into our reality, changing it forever.
• An alternate reality with no people, no bureaucrats, no taxes. But freedom has its price.
• Terrorists plot to grab a potent bio-weapon.

It Was A Routine Murder Investigation

Except the main suspect walked out of a mudhole she didn’t walk into and left blood and footprints that weren’t quite human.

5 hearts from Dee Dailey of The Romance Studio for WHERE DREAMS ARE BORN, a Kindle Unlimited book. “Joyce DeBacco pens one of those tales that is warm and loving while still mixed with trials that will touch a reader's heart. What's unusual, and special, is the way this author weaves their feelings and their struggles with them through the tale. DeBacco pens a wonderful story.”

It was supposed to be a win-win situation—a safe environment in which to raise a son for single mom Vicky, housekeeping and childcare for widowed Jack. Neither one wants or expects anything more. But life has more in store than either one imagines.

5 stars for ALL THAT NEVER WAS, a Kindle Unlimited book. “There's nothing like a romance that overcomes obstacles. Joyce DeBacco continues to engage her readers in a variety of story lines. I'm always waiting for the next book.”

Megan is a woman who can’t forget past sorrows; Jeffrey goes to great lengths to forget his. Brought together during a raging blizzard, these two lost souls find solace in one another, unaware their pasts and sorrows are strangely linked.

Got Kindle Unlimited? You can read both "Boomerang" and "The Baer Boys" free! They are both in "Double Feature".

One download, two well received books.

My apologies. Can't seem to get a working link to Double Feature.
