Dear Readers,
As many of you know the plan for the release of ‘Beard In Mind’ was to upload onto all retailers (iBooks, Nook, Kobo, and Google Play) before it was enrolled into Kindle Unlimited. The purpose of this was to ensure that ALL of my readers on all retailers would be able to have access to the book, not just those who read on Amazon. This is because all of my readers are important to me.
That being said, Amazon requires that the book be removed from all websites before being enrolled into Kindle Unlimited. Unfortunately, some of the retailers are taking longer than anticipated to remove ‘Beard In Mind’ (Specifically, international partner websites of Kobo). There is a chance that the Amazon release of ‘Beard In Mind’ may be delayed :-/ There is also a chance that it will be live tomorrow as planned, however I cannot guarantee this. I wanted to keep you all in the loop and let you know what was going on. I will be sure to make a post when the book is live on Amazon. I apologize again to those readers waiting patiently for Beau and Shelly’s book. Even though I’m not sure which way it’s going to go, I want to preemptively apologize and offer an ARC giveaway exclusively to Amazon customers. You can enter on my Facebook page.
<3 Penny

Unfortunately, I didn’t know that you were going to sign the deal with Amazon so I only downloaded the sample. I was finishing another book so I didn’t get to the sample until this morning – barely a day after your book’s launch. Imagine my surprise when I was told by iBooks that it was no longer available for purchase! Now, because I don’t own a kindle and I despise the kindle app on my iPad, I have to wait three months for this exclusive contract with Amazon to end?! Hmmmm…
Will Beard in Mind be released in print?
Yes! I have approved the files and it should be available in 3-5 days 🙂
Dear Penny,
Will Beard in Mind also be available as an actual book?
I’ve been really looking forward to it and was, unfortunately to late to download it via my Kobo. I do not own a Kindle, and I would love to read the book, but don’t see any option, very disappointing 🙁
I hope there is a way I can read Beau and Shelley’s story!
Hi Noelle!
I’ve approved the paperback files today and it should be available on Amazon in 3-5 days 🙂
I hope this helps! <3 Penny

Will I be unable to get “Beard in Mind” on Kobo?
It was up for the month of July for pre-order, but removed so we could enroll the book into Kindle Unlimited (Amazon requires books to be exclusive to Amazon in order for authors to participate in KU).
But all the Winston Brothers books will be back on all sites starting in November 2017.
Hi Mary Beth,
Unfortunately Beard in Mind is no longer available on Kobo. It is required to be exclusive to Amazon for 3 months in order to be enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. I hope this helps <3
Hi Penny,
I’m a big fan of your books and I was so excited about the release of Beard in Mind. I somehow missed the memo about the early release of the book on Kobo and saw the note the 31st! I specifically bought a Kobo to boycott Amazon and now it looks like I can’t buy the book! booo! Sad me! Will the book be back out on Kobo sometime soon?
Yes! It was up for the month of July for pre-order, but removed so we could enroll the book into Kindle Unlimited (Amazon requires books to be exclusive to Amazon in order for authors to participate in KU).
But all the Winston Brothers books will be back on all sites starting in November 2017.
Hi Jennifer,
I’m so sorry you missed the early release. The books may be available on Kobo after their 3 month exclusivity period with Amazon is over.
I hope this helps <3 Penny
Will Beard in Mind be available on Kobo eventually?
Yes! It was up for the month of July for pre-order, but removed so we could enroll the book into Kindle Unlimited (Amazon requires books to be exclusive to Amazon in order for authors to participate in KU).
But all the Winston Brothers books will be back on all sites starting in November 2017.
Hi Barbara,
Beard in Mind will be exclusive to Amazon for 3 months in order to be in Kindle Unlimited. I may release the book wide on all platforms after the exclusivity period is over. I hope this helps! <3 Penny
Will there be an audio version of Beard in Mind? Thank you!
Hi Jaime!
Yes! Keep an eye out for it at the beginning of September.
Best, Penny
I LOVE Beard in Mind and SOOOOO glad I have a Kindle Fire. I LOVE Amazon and Kindle Unlimited reading.
Please abandon the dictatorship of Amazon and just release your books normally. (unless you are making a ton of money, in which case that’s your business) I am sad that I have to wait until November, because I refuse to bow down to your evil overlords at Amazon.
When will this book be released on Nook? I thought it would be released on November first but it hasn’t yet.
Hi Samantha!
Beard in Mind is up on Nook right now! Here’s the link: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/beard-in-mind-penny-reid/1126658366?ean=2940158758553
Is the print version of Beard in Mine rare for some reason? I am seeeing it selling used on Amazon for $50. Was it a very small print release?
That is strange… It is not rare! You should be able to order it new from Amazon for $15.99 o.O
