Greetings! Happy flower growing, bird feeding, and bunny watching!

These days, I’m busy waiting for the hummingbirds and watching the baby rabbits who have already begun dashing around the yard in the evenings. Happy Spring! This momma rabbit has been living in our yard for years and builds her nests in some of the strangest places!

Now, I need your help! It appears my newsletters are being kidnapped by the spam stalkers and routed to junk instead of inboxes. I’ve gotten several inquiries from subscribers who say they are not receiving my emails. At my suggestions, they located them in their spam folder. At first, I figured it was simply a glitch, but it wasn’t. Apparently, if a large number of emails are sent, they are tagged as spam and go to the receiver’s junk folder. I’m not sure what a “large number” is but it appears to be relatively small.

In any event, the only way to combat it is for the receiver to either comment on the email, mark it as “not spam,” or add the sender’s address to the contact list. Of course, you need to see the email in order to do that and if you’re like me, you don’t often think to check what’s in your junk folder! So, even if you didn’t need to search your spam to find this newsletter, would you please write a short comment? Just “hello” or an emoji should do the trick. Thank you!

Whether they get to where they’re aimed or not, I’ll continue to send you notice of free and discounted books, book reviews, and an occasional author interview. If you’re interested in being featured in a future newsletter or blogpost, please let me know. And if you’re a reader, I’d love to hear from you, too. Maybe it’s time to feature someone who likes to read. What do you think?

Until next time,

Karen
