How to read my tattoo shop romance series if you don’t have a Kobo ereader

Getting a book deal was a dream come true for me, that came with some of its own challenges. Like being exclusive. That was almost a dealbreaker for me; I prefer my books to be available to all readers, with easy access. The good news is, I didn’t have to compromise. There are a few ways you can read A Touch of Gold, Tattooed Heart, and the rest of the Stagwood Falls: Love in Ink series if you don’t have a Kobo ereader.

Kobo app

If you’ve got a phone, you can read my tattoo shop romances. Download the Kobo app for your phone or tablet, then start the series in the app. This option requires a purchase from Kobo.

Libby App

As usual, libraries have our back. Get Libby set up using your existing local library card. Then download or request A Touch of Gold through the Libby app. This option is free (your library purchases the license).

calibre

This tip comes from reader Katy, who gets headaches from reading on her iPad (so the Kobo and Libby apps aren’t good options for her). She says: purchase the books through Kobo, then use Calibre to convert to Kindle. Goodbye headaches!

paperbacks coming soon

Good news! Paperbacks are coming to Maietta Ink in 2025. Please stay tuned for updates.

A TOUCH OF GOLD Cover Reveal

I’m so excited to show you the cover for A Touch of Gold! A few months ago, I signed a four-book deal with Kobo Originals. The team at Kobo is passionate about books, and working with them has been a dream come true. I know that’s cliche, but truly—it’s been everything I hoped it’d be, and more. I’m now able to focus more on writing (and healing, but that’s another blog post), and I already see so much growth in my craft!

I’m the type of writer who is never short on ideas, just energy, so having the team at Kobo handle all the details while I do my thing… utterly glorious. They cooked up this cover with Ukrainian designers MIBLART, incorporating flowers with illustration, and using the colors from Goldie’s tattoo shop in the book! I love the way the gold lettering pops against the rich purples and greens. Check it out!

A Touch of Gold
Stagwood Falls: Love In Ink Series, Book 1

Everything Goldie touches turns to gold, so when the building that’s been in her family for generations is in trouble, her family calls on her to help save it. Moving back to her hometown and back in with her family comes with definite perks—like no more rent—and emotional baggage in the form of Goldie’s high school crush turned hottie David. When she sees him again, all those old feelings come rushing back—and are quickly dampened when she finds out he wants to tear down her building to build a “better” Main Street.

For as long as David can remember, Stagwood Falls has been a small-town summer vacation hotspot. It’s the kind of town that will charm the socks off of anyone who decides to drive through no matter the season, and it’s his job to make sure Stagwood Falls stands out on the map all year around. All he needs to do is convince the townspeople to get on board, even if it means making some sacrifices. When Goldie returns to Stagwood Falls, David is immediately drawn to her just as he was back in high school. This time around, he’ll do whatever it takes to get her attention. What David doesn’t expect is for Goldie to be so opposed to his new revitalization strategy that she’s hellbent on throwing a massive wrench in his plan.
