Hi, Strawberry fans!
This newsletter is full of good vibes and new goodies. With the New Year in the rearview mirror, it's time to bask in all the positive changes we make in the name of 2024. Did you know the numerology of 2024 is 8, the number of abundance? What do you hope to manifest in 2024? I’d love more time to escape reality to read…and less self-imposed pressure, so my word for 2024 is ‘lighter.’ My word comes from the doctor’s orders. The chronic migraines, colitis flares, and cluster headaches I experience have increased in frequency in the last few weeks of 2023. My screen time has been limited! What does this mean for Strawberry, Monster Brides, and the Chuchunya? Until I can find dictation software that recognizes a Midwestern accent (the struggle is real,) you won’t see me on social media as much. Good thing you have a direct line to me as part of the Strawberry Rumor Mill!
What’s new? Patricika and Adam have their happily ever after today! Thank you to everyone who preordered Cherishing My Chuchunya. Because of your loyalty to the series, I’ve decided to release all 8 books in the original series plan. Book 3 introduces you to not one but three new members of the clan. I’m so excited for you to get to know what it was like for the Chuchunya before Artyom found Vera. Denis is alive. Patricika is one of two females available to chase…it’s wild.

What am I working on until June? Allow me to introduce you to Dr. Horus Mills and Millie May Moth in…Marrying My MothLady! With a cartoon cover by Kit Fox, you can bet your bottom dollar this is a monstrous rom-com. Millie May’s forest is under attack by a coal mining company…so she kidnaps their top scientist…who doesn’t know he’s working for a mining company. Marrying My MothLady’s official cover reveal is this weekend but I couldn’t resist showing you first (y’all know I can’t keep a secret.) This hilarious addition to the Monster Brides series releases on 4/15/2023 (the day before my birthday!)
My travel schedule this fall is filling up quickly, but I have a special announcement to make. I’ll be signing at the Extraordinary Love Signing Event in Pigeon Forge, TN on 10/5 and 10/6. While I love vacationing to Pigeon Forge each year, I avoid peak leaf-color-changing weekends. Why would I ask you to brave the traffic and crowds? How about meeting Wendi Gogh, Regine Abel, Jade Waltz, Jenifer Wood, Lyonne Riley, and more? Check out this line-up, and see if you can resist joining us this October…

Thank you to everyone who helped make Cherishing My Chuchunya a huge success. This book had more preordered copies than any other book I’ve written. I love that I found readers who love traveling under the permafrost as much as I do. I’m humbled by the positive response these books receive. I hope to exceed your expectations with the rest of the series. Happy reading and enjoy Patricika and Adam’s three-year courtship.
Blessed Be and Let Magic Find You!
