Hey Strawberry Fans!
Happy Holidays from the witches of Strawberry. They are preparing the annual Yule ball at Paulino’s pizzeria with all the shifters, vampires, and even the stray human in the village. I loved writing the Yule party where Betty met Lucien to kick off Book 3: Go Scorch Yourself because I love holiday parties. Growing up my family hosted our extended family, so I got to help with the cooking, baking, decorating, and when I got old—wrapping presents as ‘Santa’ for my much younger siblings. No matter which holiday you celebrate, you can’t deny the magic in the air. And the presents under the tree…err, member’s area. If you have visited recently, you have found I changed the layout of my website to accommodate the growing list of books outside of Strawberry AND the sneak peek chapters of Cuddling My Chuchunya in our secret clubhouse (password = Rafaella with a capital R). You are officially the first to meet Artyom and Dr. Vera.
This holiday season I’ve been busy planning the magic of 2023. I have my most ambitious release schedule to date, with 10 books releasing in 12 months. I’m in a bit of a transition with the end of The Wylder West series and the start of the Snuggling in Siberia series. What I’m most excited about are the three multiauthor series I’m bringing to you! From sweet fantasy to BDSM erotica, I can’t wait to introduce you to your second favorite author. (You didn’t think I would slight myself, did ya?) The first multiauthor series has already started. Defying the Gods is an erotic fantasy romance book series where someone spiked the pool of drinking waters on Mount Olympus. Now the Gods are on Earth and being naughty. My book is #16 Terpsichore’s Temptation about the muse of dance and how her vacation to Hawaii teaches the manta rays to dance. Until it releases 2/14/2023, enjoy the first 3 books!
The second series kicks off on Valentine’s Day of 2023 with a free prequel book! The Mortar & Pestle Series is about a piece of pottery that travels through time to bring couples together. From a 900 AD Viking Selkie tale by Sydney Winward to a modern-day energy vampire story by Shirley Goldberg, the Mortar & Pestle series has a story sure to be everyone’s favorite. My tale is Quartermaster. It picks up where Walk the Night left off. Magda and Branko may have found their happily ever after but Patricia’s Wish sails on with Captain Teeth at the helm. He is accompanied by Greenhorn and the other queen’s guards from the island, who are led by everyone’s favorite “grouchy troll”, Chub. Chub isn’t looking for treasure. Instead, he’s on the hunt for his lady love and the Mortar & Pestle have just the lass for him…and she’s as ‘other’ as Magda, Branko, Chevelle.
Oh course, we can’t forget the monster romance! I’ve been invited to write in the Monster Brides multiauthor series. October 2023 will bring the paranormal novella, Betrothed to the Yeti. But please don’t mix my furry monsters. The Chuchunya of Siberia aren’t related to the Yeti of Southern Asia. More coming in 2023, but until then…enjoy these monstrous book fairs of 99 cents & free monster romances!
