I have 10 reviews in the latest edition, and though I am the Romance Reviewer, I do, occasionally review a mystery, suspense, or fantasy book as well. The other fun thing in this edition is that since it was the end of the year edition, I was asked to choose my Top 3 Favorite Reads of 2023! You can read those in the photo above.

In addition, this magazine is filled with Book Reviews of the following genres: Fantasy and Fairy Tale; Sci-fi, Superheroes, and Steampunk; Audio Dramas; Epic; Romance and Real Life; Mystery; Historicaland Illustrative Fiction.

In addition there are poems, the winning entries of the last Windows Into the Multiverse Flash Fiction Story Contest, advertisements of more great books and authors; the last installment of a short story by Clean Fiction Publisher, Amy Lynn McConahy, as well as some other ongoing stories.

There are also some great articles, some fun cartoons, lists of different award winning books, the winners of the last Cover Art Contest, a list of upcoming contests in upcoming issues as well as other dates for great events that involve books. There’s the winner of the last Bookstagram Contest, and the photo for the current Windows into the Multiverse Contest with instructions on how to enter, but there are ONLY 2 Days Left to get your entries in!

So, whether you looking for your next great read or a new favorite author, or just want to read some great Flash Fiction stories, short stories, poetry, or articles, there’s something in Clean Fiction Magazine for every reader who likes their fiction clean.

As 2024 begins, I am working on planning my weekdays to devote to writing fulltime. Yes, my dream has finally come true! Some of my plans include:

1) finishing final edits and formatting my first novel, for which I have found someone to create my cover. The goal is to have it available no later than the end of February.

2) writing my second novel, which I have already started, and my plan is to have this one published in time for Christmas 2024!

3) writing more posts here for all of you who make time to come here and read. One of the things I will be writing and sharing are more flash fiction stories, including a series I have in mind that will feature my beloved dog as the main character.

4) sharing contest links and updates to help promote Clean Fiction Magazine which is a great place to read reviews of Clean and Christian books to read, as well as some great articles and short stories.

I’m so excited and I hope you will enjoy finding more to read here on my blog. Of course, I’ll still be posting occasional Book Reviews here too, but remember, I strive to write 40 reviews a year for Clean Fiction Magazine, that’s 10 per issue, so if you can’t get enough of my reviews here, be sure to grab your copy of each quarterly issue of Clean Fiction Magazine.

Exciting New Magazine for Book Lovers

/ kellyfbarr / Leave a comment

Clean Fiction Magazine is a brand new magazine that is filled with Book Reviews of Clean Fiction stories you can find on Amazon and other places Clean Fiction books are sold. Amy Lynn McConahy of Sunset Valley Creations came up with the idea of creating Clean Fiction Magazine to help indie authors of Clean Fiction stories get the word out twice a year–the biggest book buying times of year, December and March–about their great Clean Fiction stories.

When I found out about it, I contacted Amy Lynn and asked if she needed reviewers to help with the project. She said, “Yes. Send five of your reviews to me and I will choose three to include in the magazine.”

Well, I sent her five reviews, and she decided to include all five! So, above is a picture of me with my print copy of the very first, newly released copy of Clean Fiction Magazine’s Winter 2021 Edition, as well as a picture of me with the magazine open to two of my reviews.

If you want a copy of Clean Fiction Magazine, you can get it for Free on Kindle Unlimited, or get an ebook copy for $2.99 — soon to be free for 5 days! You can also order a paperback copy for $14.99. Just go to this link: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09L8LTLWN

In addition to Book Reviews, the magazine includes full color pictures, book blurbs, information about each author, book related advertisements, a few puzzles, a couple poems, and a few devotions.

I’m very excited to be a part of Clean Fiction Magazine and look forward to writing even more reviews for the next issue. Ms. McConahy has asked me to be the Clean Romance Reviewer for the upcoming issues of this publication and I was honored to accept that position.

Tomorrow I will post the information for the upcoming free ebook issue of Clean Fiction Magazine. If you’re a Clean Fiction reader, you won’t want to miss it!
