Want me to read you a monster story? Plus, get some freebies, horror updates, and more!

This week I had my very first reading ever. I don't have a good voice and it was scary as hell, but also kinda fun. The story I read was my "The Waitress," inspired by Tori Amos's song of the same title and chock full of Tori Easter Eggs. It ended up being a double creature feature because EC Dorgan read a story about unique monsters too! She also has a much better voice than me and I loved how her story was about a power couple. I LOVE power couples and think all fiction could use more. Check it out HERE!

I'm also taking part in the Free Summer Reads with Kobo Plus promo. No AI was allowed in the promotion, but I also learned that Kobo rejected a ton of AI slop books in general. Yet another reason Kobo Plus is superior to Kindle Unlimited. In honor of Pride Month, I featured Leaving the Shadows, a very unique shifter romance with two demisexual leads. But ALL of my books are free to read on Kobo Plus. Including my 2, soon to be 3, audiobooks! But as for the promo, this one is a lot smaller than the Yolo with Kobo ones I participate in, so you won't be as overwhelmed with too many choices. I'm going to try to be in more small promos this year and see how that goes.

And if you missed last week, the Fantasy and Paranormal Freebies promo is still going on. Tons of free fantasy and paranormal romances are up for grabs! All heat levels, ALLLL of the tropes. My grumpy-sunshine, master-apprentice, spicier than my usual fare #romantasy, To Tempt a Sorcerer is included too!  Bookfunnel will let you get the free download too even though you're already subscribed to my newsletter. Go HERE to fill up your device with these fantastical, swoony ebooks.

Horror news: I got my author copies of both editions of Carrie Revisited. In that edition I got to contribute an essay and my art piece that was in the limited edition, Carrie's Legacy was included. And the awesome publishers at Watertower Hill Press sent me new copies of House of Haunts and Hospital of Haunts after mine were destroyed in the disaster. They even included Hotel of Haunts, which I wasn't a part of but am very excited to read! I'm also excited for the upcoming Highway of Haunts, which will have a story from me. LIFE NEWS I'm still having flashbacks of the tree crashing down on top of Kent and me. And I only now noticed that I have scars all over my legs from it. But for less grim details, as I'm trying to find my new identity as a weird widow, I'm gravitating back to my 90s goth style, and since I lost most of my clothes in the disaster, that at least gives me an excuse to shop.  I tried on a couple tops with a skirt I got on sale at Torrid. If you want to see my dork-ass show them off, go HERE.   I'm also getting back into skincare and makeup. There is so much more out there than there was in my teens and 20s. I'm finally figuring out contour, lol. Wrap-up Next week, there will be a freebie AND some sales! And possibly my deviled egg recipe since the 4th is coming up. I'll also hopefully be finished with my painting, but since it's for a secret project, I won't be able to show off the whole thing. There are pics and videos showing glimpses of it on my socials, though. Bye-bye until then and big virtual hugs! -Brooklyn A.

Update on To Wed a Warrior! I'm about 3/4th done with the book. It's a bit of a slowburn, but the heroine is at the stage where she wants things to heat up. I found this funny meme that totally fits where her headspace is at. Hehehehe.

To Tempt a Sorcerer countdown deal, Vote on my poll, and life news.

My romantasy novel, To Tempt a Sorcerer, got a Kindle Countdown Deal! That means it's 99 cents right now, but soon will go up to $1.99, then $2.99 Get it HERE! I also have a poll up on Kofi page. My narrator should be done with the audiobook adaption of One Bite Per Night. All the other retailers don't allow preorders, but I can do a preorder in my Kofi Shop, where you can buy books directly from me and for cheaper than the retailers! The Bite Me, Your Grace audiobook is even still on sale there! But I'm not sure how many people will be interested. All proceeds will go towards funding the next book's audio adaptation. Should I do a preorder? Vote HERE!

Also, more episodes of my rockstar romance, With Vengeance, dropped on Radish! Check em out HERE!  You can also read Kissing Vicious there!

Other Book News: I'm almost done with my story for the Hospital of Haunts anthology! That one will be out in October. And I only have 3-4 chapters left on my coming of age horror novel, The Graveyard Girls! Writing is going slow because I am having A TON of performance anxiety. I also got a good start on Brides of Prophecy 10. I'm hoping to release that one in October as well!  Life News: I've had my nose on the grindstone, so I figured I'd get myself a treat. So I got another Megadeth shirt. This one's special to me because I had drawn a huge poster of this design and had it on my bedroom door when I was 15, but my mom's boyfriend at the time liked to come home from the bar and burst into my room at 2am and start yelling at me and breaking my stuff. He tore my poster.  Years later, I had a shirt like this one, but it wore out. I painted it on my back patch for my battle vest, but kept searching for another shirt with this design.  Then Megadeth put this one out on their website and had it on a killer discount for Memorial weekend. And this one is better because it's printed all over and printed in a way that won't wear off as fast as my German bootleg one.

Saturday, January 7, 2023 Free Fantasy Romance, Audiobook Update, and JAWS PJs! Next time, I'll have a book in the Stuff Your E-Reader event! You can subscribe to that promotion HERE, or just wait for my newsletter with the link to all the freebies. I also hope to have more news on Brides of Prophecy 10.  Virtual Hugs! -Brooklyn A.

Contact@brooklynannauthor.com Saturday, January 21, 2023 Free Grumpy-Sunshine Romances & Urban Fantasy ARCs, Adventures in art and therapy, and more! I'd already announced that I have review copies of my fantasy romance, To Tempt a Sorcerer over on Book Sirens, but I thought some of you might be interested in two of the ARC bundles they have with a bunch of other fun books organized by tropes and subgenre, something I LOVE about this site. First up is a Grumpy-Sunshine bundle. Go HERE to snag books that catch your interest!  And if you're more into Urban Fantasy, go HERE to check out that bundle! I think last month I mentioned that I reconnected with the therapist I had after my mom passed away. Anyway, I'm seeing her because my writer's block has been out of control and I have this book I very much need to write. She came up with the idea of me picking a book that inspires me and we'd read it together and discuss it. Since this is a coming-of-age horror, I picked Stephen King's IT. The strategy is working! But what's fantastic is that not only am I making progress on The Graveyard Girls, I'm also writing the next Brides of Prophecy book. Because, even though I've been delving into horror, I will NEVER stop writing paranormal romance. That book will hopefully release this summer!  Speaking of my art, I did upload my wolf scratchboard to Red Bubble so people can get prints, stickers, or mugs if they want. GO HERE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AUDIOBOOK UPDATE: My goal for 2023 is to get at least one of my books in audio format. But if I want to keep my rights to my work, I'll have to hire a narrator. So I set up a Patreon account where all proceeds will go towards that goal. Patrons will get exclusive updates, reward tiers that include free audiobooks, e-books, and even print arcs, and plenty of other goodies. Go HERE to check out the benefits and to support me! I also have a Ko-fi for those that want to chip in once or twice and not bother with a whole subscription and whatnot. Next newsletter, I'm going to have more freebies and fun stuff, and maybe even a teaser for the next Brides of Prophecy book.

I LOVE that movie, lol.  I also did my first painting in over a decade. A memorial portrait of our dearly departed Phantom for Kent. He liked it.  BUT WHAT ABOUT MY WRITING? Although I'm happy I'm doing art again, I recently got back into therapy to get over my writing block. It's helping and I'm pleased to announce that I'm making headway on my epic coming-of-age horror novel AND on the next Brides of Prophecy book!
