Hey Strawberry fans!
Check out the new banner above! Tis' the season for new covers in Strawberry KY. I've been writing the end of Cherishing My Chuchunya while time has marched on. I can't believe it's time to go to the pumpkin patch and scarf down pumpkin donuts already. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's the carving, seed drying for next spring, leaf-burning bonfires, and final touches on costumes...but I'm all about making donuts. It's my favorite part of October.
Speaking of favorite parts of October...last time I wrote was about my new release Betrothed to the Yeti. Thank you to everyone who left stars on Amazon, reviews on Barnes & Noble, or emailed me private feedback. I'm so happy you love Pabu & Jaya's story. I listened to your dismay, irritation, surprise-in-a-bad-way, boop-my-snoot, bop-me-in-the-forehead hatred for the eBook cover. I hired Luciel Art (check them out on Instagram they are a joy to work with & do gorgeous character art.) Love the story, love the new cover? Drop some stars where you read Betrothed to the Yeti and let your voice be heard.
Betrothed to the Yeti is part of the Get That Book where I shop for my new releases. So many of you have been so kind to share your book recs with me that I want to return the favor by showing you the newest/latest releases with these book fairs. Seriously, I read 300-400 pages a day during my hyperbaric oxygen treatments and I looooove all the kissing books y'all find for me.
I hope everyone has their copy of Hell of a Husband and are laughing along with Rachel the Embezzler and Spamato the Demon of Email Mischief. The tongue-in-cheek rom-com can be found in our member's area which has a new password. Y'all know I change the password every 2 months. The new password is Patricika (our heroine in Cherishing My Chuchunya coming 1/11/2024.) If you've already read Hell of a Husband, enjoy these free monster rom reads.
As promised here are my book recs for October. I promised a new one by Beatrix Steam and I'm so excited to share. Y'all know I've been fascinated by reincarnation since I was a kid (which is why I wrote Dreamcatcher as part of the Reincarnation Vampire Series.) Beatrix Steam has a reincarnation tale that will burn your eyebrows off. It is that hot.
Thank you to everyone who supported the launch of Betrothed to the Yeti. The stars and reviews mean the world to an indie author, and I couldn't get my stories into the world without you. Unfortunately, I lost many of your reviews when Cuddling My Chuchunya moved from Russia to Canada, from 61-star ratings to 9-star ratings. If you read the second edition and wouldn't mind giving it a star rating on Amazon, I'd be forever grateful. I hate how their policy made the first book in the series have to start over it's building social credibility. I appreciate every interaction we have whether it is in the Strawberry Rumor Mill, the Monster Brides Facebook group, or between the pages.
The next newsletter will have more cover reveals! Cherishing My Chuchunya is my first female Chuchunya story and Marlene Wynn of Novel cover art is constructing Patricika in specialized videogame software. I can't wait to see the fiercest female in the Snuggling Under Snowdrifts clan.
Also, I will be revealing the cover of Hooking Captain Teeth. Yes, the lonely Captain will find his lady love...again. Did you know he met her 4 books ago and mistook her for a call girl? She thought it was love until he paid her the next morning... four years later she's still pissed and determined to destroy Patricia's Wish. I can't wait for you to meet Sabrina, the newest bride in the Monster Brides series.
Do you have an opinion the Marrying My MothLady cover? Would you prefer an illustrated cover in addition to the discrete paperback jacket? Reply and let me know.
Blessed Be and Let Magic Find You!
