A Horde Of Icy Teutons Descends Upon Us 🥶
Jan 27, 2026 4:01 pm
This email will be brief. I'm throwing it together after 11pm on Saturday the 24th, so I don't know yet how bad the ice storm is/was. But I'll try to update you in early February, once things quit feeling like this around here:
That's an ice queen artwork by Laura Csajagi, a wildly talented artist. You can find more of her work at her website linked on the graphic.
Heads up: If you haven't downloaded your free copy of Gift of Snow from your favorite retailer yet, now's the time to get it onto your e-reader. In February, Nelke's love story with the earthen priest Tobias will be going back to full price. Get Gift of Snow today and find out what was going on in the Teuton version of Wels, Austria shortly after WW2.

Other Books You Might Like
Found two stories that are free with newsletter signup. One looks a tad bit naughty if you get my drift 🥵, while the other seems to involve a Kraken...in Venice. Have to admit, I might have signed up for 2 extra newsletters recently.
Professor Raven Kingsley runs the most exclusive BDSM club at Morrigan Academy, teaching students about consent and aftercare while keeping her own heart locked down tight. For three years, she's been Duncan Valmont's dirty secret—the Unbound witch good enough for his bed but not his world.
Duncan knows what she thinks. That he's ashamed of her. That she's convenient. That she doesn't matter.
She's wrong about all of it.
But tonight, there's no time to make her understand. The Raptores are moving, and he needs to infiltrate as a spy, and he has one night to brand the memory of her into his bones before he disappears for months—maybe forever.
One last scene. One last surrender. One last chance to show her what she means to him without saying the words that could break them both.
An old love. A giant kraken. A dive into the infested canals of Venice.
Time has run out. Rules must be broken and her patron’s wrath risked. To save the woman who raised her, Lady Judith must visit the underwater grotto of a giant lagoon kraken. Survival isn’t guaranteed, but Arturo will not let his love face the dangers of the canals alone.
Yep, I'm keeping this newsletter short since the ice is coming down outside right now, and who knows how long the power and the internet will last. Yes, my husband and I do have backup heat sources ready, but we don't have backup internet. 😉 So I'll see you on the flip side, and don't forget to download Gift of Snow before it goes to full price in February.
Talk to you soon,
