Hey Strawberry Fans!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Halloween! The leaves have turned orange, red, and gold in Strawberry, KY. The summer heat has broken—temporarily—and I’ve dragged out my sweaters. I’m sure a second summer is on the way, but I’ll enjoy my “basic girl comforts” until then. Society will have to pry my boots, sweaters, and pumpkin coffee out of my cold, dead fingers! I’m writing a little early because my family is taking our annual vacation to Hershey, PA. What better place to spend the holiday of candy than in the chocolate capital of the USA?
I’m so discombobulated with the seasons because as autumn descends around me I’m writing a summer romance. Summer in the Arctic. That’s right! Forgiving My Chuchunya takes place in late June when the Arctic Circle has 56 days of daylight. Who would be more distressed in 24 hours of daylight—the snow monster who uses the darkness to hide from humans or his human mate who uses astrology to solve all her problems? Meet Hannah and Gleb, the stars of Book 5: Forgiving My Chuchunya!
This Halloween is a celebration of Hooking Captain Teeth, Sabrina the Kraken, and all the lady monsters. Sabrina and Captain Teeth are featured in the NN Lights Book Heaven blog this morning. When you visit NN Lights to read an excerpt of Hooking Captain Teeth, don't forget to enter the drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card. Details on the article.
Thirsty for more Monster Ladies? Check out the Monster Lady Book Fair!
Thank you to everyone who visited me at Flirty in TN. It was a dream come true to meet my author heroes and the readers who have loved my books along the way. At the end of the month, I’ll be on the move again. Who’s going to Rebels & Readers in West Virginia? I can’t wait to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event. Last year was a blast and this year I’m bringing tons of KRW friends who write spicy romance. We will turn up the heat! Reply to this email and let me know if you will attend the event and I’ll set aside some spicy art prints for you!
Would it be Halloween without a Monstrous Book Fair? How about a collection of monster romances found on KU?

Y’all know I save the goodies for the bottom of the newsletter and this one is no exception. Halloween is Monster Stuff Your Kindle Day. There is no outside webpage like the traditional Stuff Your Kindle Day. Instead, there is an Instagram Profile where you can see what books will be fr33 on Halloween. Spoiler Alert! Cherishing My Chuchunya will be fr33 from 10/30-11/2…set an alarm on your phone so you get your fr33 books!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I’m living my dream because of you. A super shoutout to my Patreon subscribers—I love the feedback on my first horror romance. They get the sneak peeks to what I’m writing before my editor…including my experimental pieces. I’m just so grateful for anyone who reads the stories that fly around my head. Your level of acceptance means the world to me.
Blessed Be and Let Magic Find You!
