Dear Readers,
It's a very vampy contest this month! I'm giving away a signed copy of Secret Life of a Vampire plus some vampire goodies: vamp earrings, mobile and Vampire in a Box. Go to my FB author page to enter: https://www.facebook.com/KerrelynSpar...

Due to a huge increase in rental fees, I have closed my PO Box, so I can no longer receive cards or swag and signed bookplate requests by mail. You can still contact me through my website email which is kerry@kerrelynsparks.com. Or you can contact me through Goodreads, Facebook or X (twitter).

Happy reading!

Dear Readers,
I missed posting a newsletter last month when my computer died and had to go to the repair shop, so I missed wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope your holidays were bright and happy!

We're starting 2024 off with a bang! This month's contest will have FIVE winners! I'm giving away five signed copies of my latest book, WHEN A DRAGON FALLS! Go to my FB Author page to enter: https://www.facebook.com/KerrelynSpar...
And please, always beware of scammers. These contests get targeted a lot, so remember I will never ask for credit card information or any sort of payment.

I'd like to thank you all for the support you've given my work over the years and all the love given to my latest book, WHEN A DRAGON FALLS. I feel that the series needs at least one more book to tie it all up nicely but it may be a while before that happens. I'm taking a temporary hiatus from writing right now to focus more of my energy on my husband's ongoing struggle with cancer. I pray you will understand, and I am so grateful for all the patience you have shown over the last few years as my writing slowed down to a snail's pace. I still have books here to give away, so for now, I'll continue running the contests.

Wishing you all the best!
Kerrelyn

Dear Readers,
This month's contest has started! I'm giving away three signed copies of THE SIREN AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA. To enter, please go to my FB author page:
https://www.facebook.com/KerrelynSpar...

The price of my PO Box is skyrocketing, so I am going to be letting it go at the end of December. If you would like a signed Love at Stake postcard and bookmarks from the first five Embraced books, please send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) inside another envelope (you can fold the SASE) to my PO Box, and I will use that SASE to mail the postcard and bookmarks back to you. A standard business size envelope is big enough and two stamps will make sure it gets back to you. USA only, since I can only mail from here with American stamps. The address is Kerrelyn Sparks, PO Box 5512, Katy TX 77491-5512.

If you want several sets of bookmarks and postcards, you will need to send a bigger envelope with more postage. If you are interested in doing this, please do it soon, since I will no longer have the PO Box after December.

A final note-- in the month of Thanksgiving, I am, as always, very grateful for everyone who has ever supported my work. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season!

Dear Readers,
This month's contest has started on my FB author page. I have an author page and a friend page, so if you ever get a friend invitation, that is really me. Or you can send a friend request. But the author page is where I hold the contest every month because it has a much bigger reach (63K instead of 4K). This month, I'm giving away 3 signed copies of How to Love your Elf! Contest ends Wednesday evening. Go here to enter:

Dear Readers,
The June contest has started on my FB author page! The prize this month is a signed copy of WHEN A PRINCESS PROPOSES plus swag. There are three chances at winning! Go here to enter: https://www.facebook.com/KerrelynSpar...
Contest ends Thursday evening, June 29th.

I managed to do a contest last month, but due to health issues didn't manage to do a newsletter. My husband helped out and actually did the mailing so the winners could receive their books, which was very sweet of him since he's struggling, too, with all the chemo he's been subjected to with his stage four cancer. We're managing to take care of each other, but due to our increasing health problems, I'm taking a hiatus from writing. But you still have a book to look forward to! WHEN A DRAGON FALLS releases in late October!

Wishing you all good health, good times, and great books!
Kerrelyn
