Hey Strawberry Fans!
The Strawberry Rumor Mill is launching a little early this month because the gossip at Paulino’s pizzeria is hot. I’ve got your invitation to the fangy-est Valentine’s Day Party, 3 book fairs of freebies, and my 2024 schedule update to share. So before you dunk your strawberries in chocolate and pop the champagne, grab your date for a party you can attend in your jammies.
Specifically, I’ll be at the party tonight from 8 pm – 8:30 pm EST and tomorrow from 5 pm – 5:30 pm EST (before the pizza guy delivers my heart-shaped pizza.) There will be two games each night for book boxes of your favorite books. So, if you wanted a Chuchunya PR box (with Chuchunya stuffie) but didn’t see me at a show last year, or want a Betrothed to the Yeti paperback with art prints and custom sticker but can’t make it to Authors & Dancers Against Cancer in April, here’s your chance for me to send one to you!
Want to know another secret, because you know I can’t keep a secret to save my life, the Monsters, Demons, and Knotting, Oh My! Group is setting up blind dates. Tomorrow at 6 pm EST, authors post personal ads for the monster MCs in their books. If you would ‘date’ that monster, comment and enter to win that monster’s book in eBook or Paperback. I’m sending my favorite paperback I’ve ever written to 2 winners. Let’s see if you can guess which one and win his book!
Now for the FR33 books! These book fairs include my book Hell of a Husband which you can download from the member’s area of my website (password: Ryluk) or at these book fairs. The book fair copies will ask you for your email address again, but you won’t be added to more lists or receive additional emails from me—you are already here!
BOOK RECS!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your book boyfriend (or girlfriend) gives you everything you want…ah hem…one chapter at a time. I can’t wait to meet you at the upcoming events. Stay tuned for ticket information (all are posted on Eventbrite already.) In the meantime, I’ll see you at the Valentine's Day parties mentioned above, to play games and w!n paperback books.
Speaking of pr!zes, want to w!n a paperback copy of Round of Applause (Book 2 of Strawberry Shifters featuring a love triangle turned ethically non-monogamous throuple)? Reply to this email with your answer to these questions: “Have you read a Dark Monster Romance? What’s your favorite Dark Monster Romance?” I love dark romance and read tons of monstrous and paranormal romances. As a consequence, I have outlined two monster romance series that are significantly darker than my other books. Whether I scrap the ideas, start a second pen name, or go wild with them in 2025…depends on you. What do you want to read from me? I look forward to hearing from you – two responders will be picked via random number generator, then I’ll collect their addresses to mail prizes!
Blessed Be and Let Magic Find You,
Marilyn Barr
