Are summers for relaxing or does chaos rein year round?

Hey Strawberry Fans,

In Strawberry, our cash crop is chaos. June has been a wild ride with a new release, new ARCs dropping, & a new charity anthology. Meanwhile, I'm writing my first co-teaching workshop at Imaginarium next month. Phew! Hopefully, you are reading poolside for me, so I can live vicariously through you.

This month saw a new Chuchunya book join the clan, Book 4: Embracing My Chuchunya with a preview of Book 5: Forgiving My Chuchunya. Serik and Kaitlyn integrate into our snow monster family with the flare and drama only two villains can create. Their fated mates to enemies to lovers tale is a whirlwind. Thank you to everyone who preordered, ARC read, and enjoyed their story. If you haven’t attended the chase where Kaitlyn & Serik and Patricika & Adam run for the first time, Embracing My Chuchunya is still $0.99 in these book fairs.

You probably noticed in these book fairs I have three 99c books. Embracing My Chuchunya, Walk the Plank, and Beyond the Veil. What is Beyond the Veil? It is nine complete novels by nine different authors starring heroes with wings. My novel in the compilation is The 5^th Wheel. If you guessed it is the 5^th Strawberry Shifters book starring Patty the Hawk shifter and Jake the California Condor shifter, you are paying attention! These two will fly into your Kindle on October 8^th with 8 other novels when you preorder for 99c—yep, that includes all nine books.

The wait is over pirate fans! Hooking Captain Teeth has docked into BookSprout with ARC copies sailing into the sunset. Meet Sabrina the Kraken shifter, dance with Teeth at Maude’s Tavern, and attend Chub & Catalina’s wedding in this standalone spin-off. If you will leave an honest review secure your copy on BookSprout here, or if reviews aren’t your thing, preorder for $2.99 here.

But wait… I’d like to introduce you to my next big project. If you know me in real life, you know I’m President of the Kentuckiana Romance Writers. We lost one of our founding members to pancreatic cancer last winter. Lisa Trapp was an amazing romance author, total goofball, and dear friend. In her honor, we are releasing Double Down on Love. It’s a contemporary romance anthology with 100% of the proceeds going to PCAN (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.) My story, Ace of Diamonds, is my first MC romance. A paleobiologist uncovers starfish fossils inside an MC’s compound and makes a deal with the MC leader for the excavation space, but both get more than they bargained for. Help us raise money for charity and get nine spicy stories when you preorder Double Down on Love.
