It’s now the festive season. Some shops are already brimming with the latest decorations, cards, and ornaments. Flashing lights adorn ceilings and window frames, as well as tall pine trees set up in homes, community areas, and malls all around the world. The atmosphere shifts almost everywhere that we live or visit, embracing a sense of festivity.

At this time of year, we think about our family and friends and, of course, our Substack subscribers. What will they be doing? How will they spend this season? Maybe with their families, or maybe alone. Some might go on holiday, while others might settle into their favourite spot with a cozy shawl and drift into the pages of a book.

They’ll step into a story that paints vivid pictures in their minds. As the story unfolds before them. As pages turn to chapters, and chapters to a memorable narrative, they’ll savour the journey from writer to author to reader. Once the story ends, leaving them content yet wistful, they’ll wonder and ask themselves the question, what will I read next?

It’s then they’ll remember the free book they received. One that’s available for sale on Amazon, Google Books, and Kobo, but gifted to them as a thank you for subscribing to my Substack. A Festive Thank You.

During this festive season, I want to express my appreciation to all new subscribers by gifting you a free copy of my latest release. From Now until the end of December. Anyone subscribing to my W. D. Mayberry Substack will receive a FREE copy of my latest release, The Coin Catcher Chronicles.

In The Coin Catcher Chronicles, William, a quiet and unremarkable kid, growing up in Canberra, Australia, finds his life forever altered after inheriting a small box of coins. While attending Deakin High School, William isn’t a standout student, or athlete and his world revolves around music, comics, and books. But when those seemingly ordinary coins reveal a hidden time traveling secret, William embarks on a journey that will reshape his past, present, and future.

This book is the first in my third series, The Chrononaut Collection. Unlike my earlier works the 101 self-help series and the Bag Chip Bird children's series this new series delves into my lifelong fascination with time travel. The Chrononaut Collection takes readers on thrilling adventures across various historical eras, blending history, adventure, and imagination. Writing it has been a rewarding challenge, with two more works of fiction set to join the series in 2025.
