Happy Holidays Strawberry Fans!
I wish the weather was more festive in Strawberry KY. We have had a week of spring weather with 60-degree Fahrenheit temps during the day, and tornado-threatening storms in the afternoons. My calendar says to curl up in my Oodie with a good book but the weather outside has me working tirelessly in my garden. My bulbs and daughter plants are sprouting. If they aren’t buried, the February ice storms will freeze them to death!
Speaking of sprouts! (See what I did there?) There are review copies of Book 3: Cherishing My Chuchunya on Book Sprout if you wish to read Adam and Patricika’s snowy romance over the holidays. At least I can give you snow somehow, right? Their story spans the three years from before Vera met Artyom (yes, you get to meet Denis) to the present (yes, Vera exacts revenge on Dr. B.) You get to meet several new members of the Chuchunya clan as well as enjoy the inside jokes sprinkled throughout the book for fans of the series. I’m back to the original plan for Snuggling Under Snowdrifts to be a total of 8 books…and if you want to see who’s in Book 4, grab an ARC of Book 3 on BookSprout.
The biggest news in Strawberry, which Ryan won’t let anyone forget, is that Book 4: Rotten Apple is a Finalist for the NN Light Book Heaven 2023 Best Dark Fantasy. The shifters are so grateful to NN Lights for the nomination and the fans of the series. I’m pleased to announce that Book 5: The 5th Wheel will be part of a charity anthology in the summer of 2024. I can’t wait to give you more information on Patty & Jake’s romance.
I am also grateful to everyone who read Betrothed to the Yeti: A Monster Bride Romance. It reached the Top 20 in Space Colonization Science Fiction with the Ice Planet Barbarian books, Star Trek books, and Star Wars books all around it. I’m humbled to soar high enough to fly with the giants in science fiction.
This month’s releases contain the book I’ve been anticipating more than any release in 2023. Sydney Winward (you know the BloodBorne award-winning vampires, and Sunlight and Shadows Fae series that I rave about all the time) joins the Monster Brides with Venom Kissed. Join me in reading this masterpiece as monster romance and Sydney Winward’s unique style collide!
Book Fairs, Freebies & Recs!
Happy Holidays from the Strawberry Shifters and Chuchunya clan! I hope you enjoy Cherishing My Chuchunya as an ARC or on their release day – 1/11/2024. But I have a secret….shh….you will hear from me again before the end of 2023. The snow monsters have a special gift…Book 2: Spooning My Chuchunya will be FR33 as part of Stuff Your Kindle Day… The event promises to be bigger than Sergei’s biceps with 2000 authors giving away free books. We may break the Kindle store…again…so set your alarm and shop early on 12/27/2023. I’ll send another newsletter to remind you on 12/27, with the links.
Blessed Be and Let Magic Find You,
Marilyn Barr
