Frequently Asked Questions
About the Books
How steamy are your books?
My books are a heat level of 3–4 on a 5-pepper scale. That means on-page, explicit love scenes between the hero and heroine, but the love story always comes first. You'll fall for the characters before the sheets get hot. My books have more plot than steam, i.e. most books have 2 to 3 steamy scenes each.
Do your books have a happily ever after?
Always! Every Zee Irwin romance ends in a happily ever after (HEA). No cliffhangers and no heartbreak endings.
Yes. Every book stands alone with its own couple and HEA. My series are interconnected, though, so you'll get the most fun from reading in order and spotting other couples or settings from my books as they pop back in.
Start with whatever town or trope calls to you! Take Zee's Small Town Romance Road Trip to meet my eight small towns, from Forest Grove, Montana to Kissing Springs, Kentucky. Want a free taste first? Grab Ride It Slow, book one of Return to Glendale Falls, free when you join my newsletter.
Is there a reading order?
Yes. Each series page on my website lists its books in order. You can also download my 5th anniversary list of 50+books as a guide to every book I've published.
My strong, lovable—typically small town—heroines are paired with heroes ranging from billionaires or hockey hotties to cowboys, mountain men, firemen or ex-military protectors. You'll adore Zee's book boyfriends.
My series share small towns and characters, so readers can finish one series and step right into the next. Some settings connect, some characters connect. For example, Colt, the brother of the Calhoun sisters in The It Happened Series, becomes one of the ex-military cowboys in The Alphas Fall Hard Series.
Where to Buy & Formats
Where can I buy your books?
Most Ebooks are available on Amazon, and a few of my early series are also at Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books and Google Play. Paperbacks are sold on Amazon and you can order signed copies and swag in Zee's Store.
Are your books in Kindle Unlimited?
Most are! I release most of my new books into Kindle Unlimited. Series like Alphas Fall Hard are in Kindle Unlimited, while some of my older series are available wide at every major retailer. Each book page on my website shows where to find it, just click the buttons shown on each page to take you to the various retailers.
Why do some books have two different covers?
Some of my books come in two cover styles: illustrated covers and male model or couple covers. Some paperbacks also come with colorful printed edges. Same story inside, just pick the look you love. Part of my creative process I enjoy is designing my book covers, so many of the covers in my catalog are Zee Irwin Designs.
Do you have character art and NSFW art?
Yes. I offer swag of all kinds from bookmarks and stickers and more (many designed by me). As for illustrated character art, I wish I were talented enough to draw characters. I work with lovely artists to create that artwork and then blend their art into my designs.
Do you have audiobooks?
Yes! Visit my Zee's Audiobooks page for current titles and where to listen. I would love to have more audiobooks but the costs are prohibitive. I keep my eye on options and opportunities and will inform readers when I have more audiobooks available.
Do you have books in other languages?
Yes. Many of my books are translated into German, with some in Dutch. Alphas Fall Hard is available in German as Wenn Alphas fallen. I also have several books translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. See my Foreign Translations page for links.
Freebies, Newsletter & Book Club
Yes! Join my newsletter and get Ride It Slow, book one of Return to Glendale Falls, free. More free Glendale Falls stories follow in the welcome emails. Visit my FREE & Bonus page for more freebies and bonus scenes too.
What will I get in your newsletter?
New release news, cover and blurb reveals, sneak peeks, giveaways, freebies and a little behind-the-scenes fun. I send it about once, sometimes twice, a week, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
What is Zee's Book Club?
Zee's Book Club is my monthly page of goodies, and it's free from me. Think of it like a fun way to connect with me on things I like and things I like to share with you, such as: a free printable of the month, a recipe of the month, my store special offers or coupons, free ebooks, author swaps, book recs, and the books, shows or movies I'm loving right now. It's updated every month, so check back often. Want to get notified each month when it's updated? Go here to subscribe to book club notifications.
Where can I find bonus scenes?
Bonus scenes live on my FREE & Bonus page, and many books link to their bonus scenes in the back matter of the books.
I'm not getting your emails. What should I do?
Search your emails for ones sent from zee@zeeirwinauthor.com. Check your spam, promotions or junk folder, then add my email address to your contacts so I land in your inbox. If you use a work email, consider switching to a personal one instead.
Zee's Store
What can I buy in Zee's Store?
Signed paperbacks, ebooks you can read on any device, book boxes, swag, and special bundles and deals. Buying direct from my store means more of your purchase goes straight to the author instead of me having to share with retailers like Amazon. Thank you for supporting my creative author business when you buy direct from me!
How do ebooks from your store get to my device?
After checkout you'll receive a download link by email, delivered through BookFunnel, which walks you through sending the book to Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books or a reading app. However, if you've ordered a preorder, your download link from Bookfunnel will arrive separately, on or before release day. (i.e. if you preorder in June a book that isn't available until October, then you will receive an email from Bookfunnel in October with a download link to retrieve your purchase.) Some preorders come with swag like bookmarks, artwork, stickers and more. These will also be delivered digitally, however, upon checkout of your order, if you include your US mailing address then I'll mail you some of these items directly.
Can I order ebooks even if I live outside the USA?
Yes. You can order ebooks from my Zee Store. As described above, they will be delivered via Bookfunnel along with any digital swag.
Where do you ship signed paperbacks?
I ship signed paperbacks to US mailing addresses only.
If you are in the UK or Australia, I have a way to send you paperbacks locally via Ingram Spark. Please reach out to me to make arrangements on my About/Contact page.
How long does shipping take?
In-stock signed paperbacks usually ship within 2-14 business days. Preorders ship after release day. Please add zee@zeeirwinauthor.com to your email contacts list so that you will get any emails from me communicating about your order.
How do I track my order?
You'll receive a tracking number by email once your order ships.
Can I return a book?
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the items being signed for you, returns are not accepted. Each order comes with insurance. You could make a claim directly with USPS to be refunded if they allow it.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Each order comes with insurance. If your book arrives damaged, you will be able to make a claim directly with USPS and be refunded. You will be asked to submit photos of the damaged shipment.
Reviewers, Bookstores, Libraries & Contact
How can I get an advance copy to review?
Please fill out my Influencer and Advanced Reviewer Form to be considered for each new release. I send an advanced copy of my ebook in exchange for your honest review on Amazon, Goodreads, or Bookbub. I have two review teams to choose from: Booksprout or Bookfunnel.
I'm a librarian. How can I order your books?
All of my ebooks are available for libraries to acquire through the usual library channels. My paperbacks are available for libraries to order through Ingram Spark.
Can I request your book at my local library?
Yes, please do! Ask at the librarian desk or use your library's request form, and mention the title you want and author name Zee Irwin. My books are available to borrow from most major library sites like Libby. You can also request a paperback of my book from your local librarian and see if they'll order it in.
I'd like to sell your book in my bookstore. How can I acquire them wholesale?
How exciting! There are two ways to acquire my books wholesale. 1) Direct from me through my Beventi wholesale page — and these books come signed by me with swag. OR 2) Order through Ingram Spark, but these are just the books, no signature, no swag.
How can I schedule for you to appear at my bookstore?
For new releases or special occasions or events, I would love to consider visiting and attending and showing or talking about my books. Use the form form on my About/Contact page.
I'd like you to attend an event or appear on my podcast. How do I reach you?
I'd love to hear from you about any opportunities! Use the form on my About/Contact page to reach out.
Where can I follow you on social media?
There are three main places I "hang out." Find me on Facebook on my author page at Zee Irwin Romance, and on my profile Author Zee Irwin. Follow me on Instagram @authorzeeirwin. I have a reader group on Facebook called the Kissing Springs Reader Group. You can also find me on Pinterest, BlueSky, and some other social media. The links are at the top of every page.
I'm an agent/a publisher and would like to acquire rights, should I contact you?
I'd love to hear from you. I am open to discussing international rights, rights to foreign translations, rights to audiobooks, and more. Use the form on my About/Contact page.
