Hey Strawberry fans,
A big bear-hug to our newest members from the CRAVE BOOKS paranormal romance contest. We are happy to have you in Strawberry KY. Our little group loves paranormal romance from Vampiress pirates to Christmas psychics, from sweet westerns to scorching hot Hawaiians, and every PNR in between. I invite all Strawberry fans to explore the members’ only area of my website. In there, you will find sneak peeks at all my books, too-hot-for-publication bonus scenes, book club discussion questions, and more bonuses- just for being a newsletter subscriber. To get in you must have the password, Rafaella (must have a capital R), named after our favorite gran-witch.
The winds are changing, and the market is shifting. Can you feel it? The paranormal romance world is being invaded by an abominable force – the monster fudgers. From the 1970s comic book world to modern-day TikTok, humans who love monsters are everywhere. Even the latest Amazon Black Friday commercial stars a snow monster out on the town. Check out my blog post on the Paranormal Romantics about the rise of Monster Fudgers!
I have loved reading books by Ruby Dixon, Tiffany Roberts, C M Nascosta, V.K. Ludwig, and Opal Reyne, so it was just a matter of time before I wrote my own. Cuddling my Chuchunya is a monster romance between an anthropologist and her Siberian snow monster. This book is the steamiest one I’ve ever written with all the kinks of the monster romance genre like – breeding, chasing, and knotting. However, it also has all the attributes of a Marilyn Barr book that you have grown to love like “she thinks for herself”, “he falls first”, and “sweet-smelling pheromones.” Ready to take a trip to Siberia with me? Cuddling My Chuchunya is on pre-order for 99cents until its 1/13/2023 release!
Can get enough monsters? I’ve picked up all the books in this “Aliens, monsters, and shifters” book fair. I love sharing the newest books in my favorite subgenres with you!
