Happy Holidays Strawberry Fans!
You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to say that! I’m horrible about keeping secrets and the wait for the holiday season has been agonizing. I have so many presents, contests, and freebies to share with you. It’s been torture keeping all this under wraps—especially Giselle…but more about her down below… First, a huge thank you to everyone who braved the first snow of the season to visit me at the 2nd Annual Witch’s Market in Evansville. I hope you loved the shopping as much as I did.
Now down to business! Let's kick off this gift-giving letter with a giveaway worth $200. The authors of the Evil Hearts Monster Romance Anthology have teamed together to give away paperbacks, swag, eBooks, and an Amazon gift card. I’m contributing a paperback copy of Marrying My Moth Lady!
My story in the Evil Hearts Anthology is Escape into the Briny Deep about a female pirate who happens to be the captain’s daughter. When the royal navy catches their ship, she’s faced with two options—become the navy’s plaything after they execute her father or escape into the briny deep. No choice really, she throws herself overboard to find a home in Davy Jones’s locker. However, a Kraken has other plans for her… Over 50 monster romance authors have joined forces to raise money for the Dollywood Foundation.
I promised free books and contests…well, this link has both. Snag free books from over 2 dozen authors and enter to win a $150 gift card from Get That Book. Y’all have Hell of a Husband from me, but there are many other books to choose from.
A huge thank you to everyone who preordered Double Down on Love: A Kentuckiana Romance Writers Charity Anthology. Today is the last day to purchase the eBook for $2.99 before the price increases to $9.99. The paperback is $19.99. Why is it so expensive? It’s 824 pages of contemporary romance by award-winning, USA Today best-selling, and first-time romance authors. Best of all 100% of the proceeds go to PCAN (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network) in memory of our deceased KRW author, Lisa Tapp.
Your Satyr Until Christmas is a free holiday novella my thank you to all my newsletter subscribers. The link will ask you for your email address. You aren’t signing up for anything new (you are already here) but it must verify you are on the list.
With a title starting with Y, it’s perfect for those of you fulfilling the 2024 alphabet challenge or those of you looking for short smutty stories to reach your Goodreads reading goal. Giselle lives in a dystopian, American farming community where women aren’t allowed to own property, but her father raised her to be an independent goat farmer. When he passes away suddenly, Giselle asks for a Christmas miracle to save her farm…and Father Christmas delivers. I hope you enjoy this Cinderella-retelling with a spicy, paranormal twist.
Your Satyr Until Christmas is part of the 12 Days of Christmas free stories by some of your favorite Monster Brides Authors. We’ve banded together to bring you 12 free Christmas stories that are bite-sized, spicy snacks for the busy season.
Last present…and it’s for all the dark romance and horror romance fans in the crowd. My first horror romance releases on 2/10/2025 and ARC signups are here. The first batch of Clutching Cthulhu’s Pearls will go out on 12/10/2024 from me (BookSprout copies will drop the same day.) This book is a creepy, Lovecraftian horror romance that takes place in the 1920s. Readers on my Patreon loved its fast pace and pulse-pounding action. If you have an experimental, voyeuristic, or ovipositor kink, this is right up your alley.
More Book Fairs!
A huge thank you to everyone who purchased either anthology to benefit PCAN and the Dollywood Foundation, and thank you for being one of my supporters. I love doing charity projects—especially this time of year. I hope you participate in “Giving Sunday” and support your favorite local charities too. Today is our 3rd anniversary of being Golden Sponsors of the Animal Care Society of Louisville (Louisville’s first no-kill shelter) where we adopted Pepper. We love supporting them and hope you found a charity close to your heart too.
Blessed Be and Let Magic Find You,
Marilyn
