Paranormal and Contemporary Freebies, Last call for Giveaway, and more!

For my paranormal readers, there's a ton of freebies, including my vampire romances, Ironic Sacrifice and Unleashing Desire, each focusing on a different vampire twin hero over HERE! For my contemporary romance readers, there's a ton of free contemporaries including my heavy metal romance, Rock God, over HERE!

GIVEAWAY STILL GOING!: Some of you saw last week that I joined LitRing's Author Spring Fling giveaway, however there were apparently some technical difficulties, like some authors--including me--having the Amazon follow link not work. Thanks to your help, I was able to report this to LitRing and they fixed it. They did advise that you need to click "complete action" for your entries to go through, and if that's not working, clear your cache. Anyway, they have two $30 Amazon giftcards up for grabs. This one doesn't require any newsletter signups, just Amazon follows. Go HERE to enter!

Status of my Audio Book fund. Many of my readers have requested my books in audio, but I don't quite have the funds to hire a narrator. Why not ACX, or other royalty-share programs? Because with those, you don't get rights to your work for several years and I've been burned by that road before. Which book will I do first in audio? The top contenders are Wrenching Fate (Brides of Prophecy, Book 1) and Kissing Vicious (Hearts of Metal, book 1). However, His Final Girl, (B Mine, book 1) is another contender. I'll be surveying my supporters to see which one they want first! Go HERE to support my goal! Alternately, I have a store where I have signed paperbacks and ebooks up for grabs for lower prices than you'll see anywhere else. Some ebooks are even free with the option to tip.

SOUP FOR MY FAMILY! This will probably be the last time I mention morel mushrooms for the year. We got most of our haul dehyrated, but there were still a bunch that didn't fit in the dehydrator, so I made concentrated soup. These six vaccuum-sealed bags will be frozen. And each should be able to make a gallon of soup! I will use some to use for sauce on cheese tortellini or in stroganoff too.

Weekend Plans: I'm hopefully going to be doing a lot of writing. And should have a release date for Bewitching the Vampire next week. I will also be watching Fangoria's Chainsaw Awards (like the Oscars, but for Horror). It's gonna be on Shudder on Sunday.

Anyway, that's all for now and I hope you all have an amazing weekend! Until next time, Virtual Hugs! -Brooklyn A.

Fun with mushrooms, giveaway, and my new favorite movie!

Not the trippy kind that some of my book characters like to indulge in, but morel mushrooms, which are also often mentioned in my books and grow in most forested areas in the northern hemisphere. They are weird-looking and like to hide, but they're delicious. Every spring we go up in the mountains to hunt them. We ended up scoring three pounds of them this season!

Then we first make an epic stuffed leg of lamb. It's a two day process, but oh, so worth it.

Then we put some in the dehydrator to save to use throughout the year and use the rest to make a huge vat of cream of morel soup. We enjoy a bowl then vaccuum seal and freeze portions to have later as soup, or as sauce on pasta. Yum!

GIVEAWAY: I joined LitRing's Author Spring Fling giveaway. They have two $30 Amazon giftcards up for grabs. This one doesn't require any newsletter signups, just Amazon follows. Go HERE to enter!

Freebies: There's still a couple days left to grab free copies of a ton of enemies-to-lovers romances if you missed out. Go HERE! Also, with how different Heart Throb looks from the others, I am wondering if I should change the covers of my Hearts of Metal books. But that's something I'll worrry about when I catch up on other stuff.

Other news: WTF, Amazon?!! So aside from letting in a glut of AI content, I heard that Amazon jacked up the price of Kindle Unlimited. I can guarantee that the authors won't see a penny of that increase. Especially since their revenue was cut recently. But Kobo Plus just expanded to the US, so I recommend checking them out!

Movie Rec: OMG, you guys, I am in LOVE with the movie, Renfield. Nic Cage is Dracula, Nicolas Hoult is Renfield, it's like a cross between a horror comedy and a superhero movie and it has a realistic portrayal of toxic relationships with an abuser. I loved it so much that I had the movie theater reserve the poster for me and I preorderd the DVD/BluRay combo pack. It's streaming on Vudu and a few other places, but if it's still in your local theater, I highly recommend it!

Anyway, I'm off to work more on Bewitching the Vampire, my horror short, and of course, The Graveyard Girls. Until next time, Virtual Hugs! -Brooklyn A.

Free Enemies-to-Lovers romances, Bewitching the Vampire has a webpage, Horror news, and life update!

Hey all! Bewitching the Vampire finally has a page on my website, but there's no release date as of yet. I'm fairly confident that it will be out in July, though. When in July should be announced soon. FREEBIE TIME! I joined the Enemies to Lovers promo on Bookfunnel, so you can grab Heart Throb for free! Go HERE to check out other awesome Enemies to Lovers romances for free!! OTHER NEWS: The House of Haunts anthology I'm part of will release October 13th. My horror-loving readers should enjoy the haunted garage story I'm working on. As soon as there's a webpage for the anthology, I'll share it. I'm also hard at work on my coming of Age horror, The Graveyard Girls. And speaking of, I finally got a straight answer on whether or not I could borror Kent's last name for my horror pen name. He said yes. Reader, my pen name married him. Life News: I'm currently obsessed with another Wuxia/ Chinese fantasy show: Miss The Dragon. It's like an overdose on cuteness and tropey af. There's even a character who's like the Chinese version of Hades! It's free on Viki if anyone is interested. And I'm also currently reading the Tang dynasty series by Jeannie Lin. I love the way she mingles history, romance, and mystery. Her Lotus Palace Mysteries are awesome too! Also, it's FINALLY morel season in my part of the Northwest US. These are the only mushrooms I like to eat and I hope we get a ton when we go out hunting for them tomorrow! Anyway, I'm off to work more on Bewitching the Vampire. Next time I'll hopefully have a release date for it. I'm also working on my horror projects, going to introduce my son to The Exorcist for his first time, and taking Kent to see Clutch on Sunday for his belated B-day present.

Forbidden Song is FREE! Plus cover reveal and preliminary description for Bewitching the Vampire!

Hey all! Although many of you are here from me having Forbidden Song as a freebie on some BookFunnel promos, this weekend, I went ahead and made it free everywhere in case anyone missed it. You can pick your fave retailer HERE. Brides of Prophecy News: I got the preliminary blurb (book description) done for Bewitching the Vampire. Here it is: Magic is returning to Earth, and Raina Callahan’s witch coven is growing more powerful. She’s been warned to be wary of catching interest from dangerous people, and sure enough, she discovers that someone is following her. Her stalker turns out to be the owner of a vampire-themed club—who really is a vampire. And although he is dead sexy and charming, Raina is not okay with his surveillance or his intent to claim her as his. She will use every means of magic at her disposal to thwart him. Valentin St. Scarasse, Lord Vampire of New Orleans, has a weakness for voluptuous women with magic in their blood. Just when he has his sights set on what promises to be a delicious meal—and maybe a few passionate nights in bed—the Thirteenth Elder commands him to watch over the witch and her coven and keep them safe. But when Raina catches Valentin spying on her, the witch and the vampire embark on a battle of wills that will only end if they surrender to the heat between them. As the Evil One’s cultists invade the city, Raina and Valentin must learn to trust each other and together, help their communities make an alliance that both sides swore would never happen. COVER REVEAL! OTHER NEWS: I wrote a fun essay on my experience writing horror when I have PTSD and also about how my therapist and I are reading Stephen King's IT together to help me with my coming-of-age horror novel with the working title, The Graveyard Girls. It should be out on the HWA's Holistic Horrors blog in June or July. Speaking of The Graveyard Girls, I just sent the prologue and first three chapters to my agent. I am torn between excitement and nervousness. I hope she likes it! I hope to be done with at least the rough draft by the end of the year so that we can get it polished and ready to go to market next year. But that's not all in my horror adventures. I was invited to take part in an anthology by Parlor Ghost Press called, House of Haunts: 24 Rooms. 24 Ghosts. 24 Stories. My story will be about a haunted garage! House of Haunts should be out in October! Life News: I want to thank all of you who offered condolences for the loss of my cousin. We went to his funeral on Wednesday and it was a nice service. My aunt is the strongest woman I know. She organized the whole thing, wrote an incredible eulogy, and had nice little memorial cards made. Then she even went with me to put a flower on my mom's grave. In more cheerful news, my son took me to see Renfield today and I LOVED it. It was like a horror-comedy crossed with a superhero movie. I even asked the movie theater to save the poster for me after they're done showing it. So if any of you are on the fence, GO SEE IT! And then we went to our local music store to get the first Angus McSix album that just came out. The lead singer used to be in Gloryhammer, a very nerdy and cheesy power metal band that sings about unicorns and goblins and stuff. But the singer was ousted from Gloryhammer and formed Angus McSix (his Gloryhammer character was Angus McFife, so his new name is a pun.). Anyway, he upped the nerdiness and cheese even more and gives us epic songs like LASER SHOOTING DINOSAUR. You must check it out, lol. Anyway, I'm off to work more on Bewitching the Vampire and my horror projects. Next week I'll announce the winner of the giveaway and have more freebies to share.
