Hi !
Iāve been sitting on a little secretā¦and I can finally spill it!
Dragon, Actually, my cozy, spicy, holiday monster rom com, is getting a surprise Thanksgiving launch on 11/27!
Dragon, Actually is a short, standalone novella related to the How I Met My Monster series. Itās a quick, cozy read, perfect for passing the time while your turkeyās in the oven. If you love sweet stalking, awkward dragons, and fated-mate shenanigans wrapped in ribbons, this oneās for you.
And yesā¦you might recognize it! It went out last Christmas as a gift to newsletter subscribes. Itās now officially part of the series and ready to make your December extra warm and bright.
PREORDER/LAUNCH SALE!
You can reserve your copy now for just 99 cents! This special sale price will run through December 4, when it will return to the usual $2.99. And of course, you'll be able to read it in Kindle Unlimited!
(This pricing is just a HINT at what I have planned for next weekend. It won't be the only book in my catalog available for 99 cents! Some might even be...FREE?)
Love makes you do crazy thingsā¦like date the dragon who has a Christmas crush on you!
Iām just a small-town girl doing my best to make it in the big city. Between double shifts at the giftwrap counter and pet-sitting my roommateās moody cat, this holiday season isnāt exactly shaping up to be merry and bright.
But then a gorgeous green dragon walks into my lifeāor, more accurately, buys every gift in the shop just to talk to me! Myrran is sweet, awkward, and way too charming for his own good (or mine). He says Iām his greatest treasure, and the way he looks at me could melt even the iciest December day.
But being a dragonās holi-date comes with its own complications, like teaching him how to kiss, managing his overly enthusiastic dragon family, and learning secrets Iām not sure Iām ready to handle. Is this whirlwind romance my happily-ever-after, or will Myrranās flames burn too hot for a girl like me?
This Christmas, love is in the airā¦and my new boyfriend is a dragon, actually.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
I was lucky to be invited to do a Q&A with Monster Romance Reviews! š©·š©·š©· Check out our little interview here: https://monsterromancereviews.substack.com/p/the-author-who-climbed-size-difference
Are you surprised by any of my answers to her questions? ššš
FAN ART FEATURE
I was so surprised when Morally Shay made this incredible fan art for The Gargoyle & the Maiden. Artists are part of the lifeblood of the monster romance community, and I'm humbled that she spent her time and talent on my characters.
I love how she captured the deep emotions and heartbreak that Idabel and Brandt have to work through to earn their HEA! Please go follow her on Instagram and check out her other gorgeous work. She is such a generous artist who draws fan art for lots of books and deserves every like and share she can get!
NEW FROM OTHER AUTHORS
Check out these incredible new books from some of my author friends!
The Huntsmanās Heart by Ami Wright
A deliciously dark and spicy why-choose fairytale retelling
When her evil step-mother ordered her killed, Princess Guinevere died at the hands of the undead huntsman. But he could not destroy her. Instead he tore out her heart and made her immortal like him.
Now Guinevere is more powerful than any queen. She will not bow. Not to fate. Not to the Huntsman. Not stone guardians who rise from their perches to serve her. They will kneel to her instead. Her gargoyles will fight for her, burn for her⦠and in the shadows, they will surrender to her.
The Huntsmanās Heart is a dark, spicy, why-choose retelling of Snow White meant for a mature audience 18+. It contains lots of sword crossing and a ridiculous amount of male yearning. You have been warned. This princess gets a full HEA where she does not have to choose between love interests, and neither do they.
Longing for the Minotaur by Lyonne Riley
This holiday season, the truth will finally come out.
Valentina has always had a complicated relationship with Banon, the son of the minotaur woman her father married. Though she doesnāt know it, heās been hungering for her, too. Sheās consumed his every thought for years, even as he put distance between them. When the dam breaks over the holidays and the truth emerges, will Banon and Valentinaās burning cravings finally erupt into a fire?
Longing for the Minotaur is a short, steamy holiday-themed monster romance novella about one nerdy goth girl and her football-playing minotaur stepbrother. Secrets will be spilled and even more secrets kept, leading to an adorable HEA.
Thanks for reading to the end. I hope you have a great weekend full of great books!
Love,
Sara
