Greetings to my fabulous ARC team! 😍

Gift of Snow is finally crashing into your inbox, and I'm so excited to find out what you think of Nelke's suspenseful romance with Tobias.

Have to admit, I was starting to doubt this day would ever come. My original plan was to publish Gift of Snow on February 20th. Well, that didn't happen because I didn't figure out exactly where I wanted to go with this story until mid-February. Which meant I had to push the release date out until March.

Of course it was supposed to release on March 20th since I have a 'thing' for round numbers. 😜 But here we are on March 28th and I'm finally uploading Nelke's story onto all the retailers today.

I have to apologize to you for making you wait this long and not keeping my word about when Gift of Snow would be available. I've been fighting a rough batch of creative burnout since I finished the previous book in the series back in November. If you do decide to download, read, and review Gift of Snow, be sure to read the Acknowledgements page in the back. That'll give you a look at where I hope to take my Teutonic Fantasy Realm next, now that Elemental Bloodlines is officially finished.

8 books in 16 months was a little bit much.... 🥴

Burnout or no burnout, there's LOTS more stories scratching at my brain, many of which happen to involve Black Priests. So keep on hanging out with me if you want to discover more secrets of Teutonic history and magic!

Gift of Snow Cover & Blurb

Can a snow witch preserve her star-crossed romance with an earthen priest in a city seething with corruption?

This small town witch moved to the city to get an education. Not to grow hopelessly enamored with the antlered priest next door. Or to find out my presence here is a threat to the established order. What do you mean, young witches have to sign their lives away and have babies because our people are going extinct? That has to be an exaggeration...right?!

My daring neighbor and I are determined to find out exactly what’s happening to the witches lured into a savage breeding program. But when the priest in charge of the city realizes what we’re up to, I fear I’ll be the next to fall into his trap. Even though my antlered lover laid his claim upon me.

Until fate throws a cruel shackle around my heart....

Gift of Snow is a fated mates urban fantasy romance set in the Teutonic Fantasy Realm. It is Book 6 in the Elemental Bloodlines series and is Nelke and Tobias’ complete story.

Gift of Snow Fun Graphics

I know some people like to share their reviews on social media, so if you feel led to do that once you've finished Gift of Snow—or if you just want to mention Nelke's story to all your friends—here's a batch of crazy graphics you can share. As always, I'm not "super skilled" at visual art (as a writer, words are my thing!), but hopefully someone can make use of one or two of these. 🙂

Now I'd better start setting up the files & book pages on Amazon & everywhere else, so we can wait impatiently to see just how long it takes all the retailers to let Gift of Snow loose into the reader world. Once all of the links are available, I'll send you a reminder about leaving a review, and I'll include each link to pages where you can drop your 2 cents. Goodreads, BookBub, Amazon, other retailers, and my shop.

In the meantime, happy reading, and have a wonderfully weird week!

Talk to you soon,

C.L. Carhart
