You don't need a credit card to "purchase" a free item from my site, but it does require an address (There's no way to get around it with the platform I use). I'm very strict about privacy, but I get it.
To answer your question, the ebook is free on Zon and other retailers. The audiobook is not.
Yep! You should have gotten an email from BookFunnel (the ebook delivery service) with instructions for downloading onto a Kindle or other devise. If you run into trouble, feel free to shoot me an email! I hope you enjoy!!
Thanks!
An ereader, phone and paperback book mockup, all displaying a book cover with a young auburn haired woman clutching a shawl and standing in front of a fog misted castle. The book is Roses in Red Wax by Louise Mayberry.
My debut novel, Roses in Red Wax is turning 3 today!! 😢
Set in 1820 Scotland, it's part steamy romance, part historical fiction... 🏰❤️🌹
To celebrate, the ebook & audiobook are FREE on my website. Paperback is 50% off. I'd be delighted if you'd give it a try.

This is why I'm so seldom on IG.
Toxic positivity. It's like it's designed to make you feel shifty about yourself.
My God, can't we just have one weekend - ONE WEEKEND - to just live without worrying about WWIII or people being killed in our streets??
I will never complain about being bored ever ever again.
It's amazing to me how busy one can feel running a business that makes no money.

Pretty much every book I've written falls into this.
Too much sex for literary historical fiction readers. Too much disturbing history for historical romance readers... But whatever.
I'm an artist and I'll do what I want.
A Scottish Gothic Historical Romance 🏰✒️💔

1824, Yucatán Mexico. A shipwrecked earl. An abolitionist smuggler. An epic journey...

Spent some QT pushing pins into my new (to me) 1845 map of Milwaukee WI this morning, imagining my character's walking the streets.
A historical writer's happy place.
I made a series of these for Pinterest, but they're just too pretty not to share.
Roses in Red Wax is Historical Romance set against the 1820 Scottish Radical War... Inspired by the tension between Romanticism and industrialism, which both had roots in this time.

I signed a thing, and if you're an indie author you might want to, too??

So, I'm not one post pictures of my pets much, but I just came home to this in the middle of a busy Tuesday and
God damn. My dog has it good.
Art is resistance. 😢❤️
A Greek revival house
An ice shiny stretch of river with tree branches in the foreground
I visited the oldest house in Milwaukee today, then walked a gorgeous stretch of the Milwaukee River and explored an icy stretch of lakeshore...
The best part? As this was research for my next book (set in MKE in 1842), lunch and mileage were tax deductible!
See?? Writing fiction pays after all.
Photo of Frederick Douglass, who some say was the most photographed person of the 19th century
Happy birthday to one of the greatest, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, he didn't know his actual birthday, but chose to celebrate it on this day.
Please read his books and essays; please teach your children his story when they are old enough to understand.
Tomorrow! Going to donate a portion of the proceeds to anti-ICE organizations, so...come make sure I have some proceeds to donate?
A novelist imprisoned by marriage. A mill manager with a radical past...
A secret affair that will break them both.

On this day in 2018 I pubbed my second audiobook, DINNER AT SAM’S, a steamy Black romance about a woman who’s just trying to get a divorce, not fall in love… and the attorney who wants to process her divorce and set her free.

Historical Fantasy Romance
Omg yes. This was me for a full year... and I had no idea my efforts were doomed from the start.
(According to the gatekeepers of publishing, mine is a dying genre. Didn't matter how good I was, they were going to reject me anyway.)
Even on the worst days, life as an indie is better!
Yes! Indie is where it's at!
I hope you're right!!
