I retired last spring, what a transition! I am still finding my way (and my hair color!), so this is my
first newsletter since I retired. I got the cutest puppy in the world, Nutmeg, a Chihuahua/Shitzu mix.
I have been finishing Sci-fi romance and Fantasy Romance stories and plan to publish more often.

I did manage to publish a fantasy romance novella!

Adler, a griffintaur, with the wings and feet of a griffin, is a student wizard.
His father demands he find a bride at the country's spring Bridal Faire.

This comes as a surprise to Adler, who still has a year of school left. But he dutifully makes the journey to the Faire.

He is terrible at wife wooing. The only girl he can talk to is the fruit seller, Ayperi. She is from a distant land, wears a
turban and has a thick accent.

Then he sees her hag-like employer beating her. Why not ask her to be his wife?

Carol Van Nattas’s New Book!

Carol, my Fort Collins Comic Con Partner in Crime, has a book out in December!
Her Ice Age Shifter Paranormal Series is a must read!

A lost sheriff's deputy and a captive prehistoric shifter must fight danger—and their sizzling attraction—
if they want to escape a dying fairy fantasyland.

Shifter’s Storm (Ice Age Shifters Book 5)

by Carol Van Natta

Published by Chavanch Press • Release date 12 December 2019

In a dying fairy fantasyland, can two shifters tell if the magic between them is real?

While volunteering for hurricane cleanup, sheriff’s deputy and leopard shifter Chantal Hammond stumbles
across two escapees from a fairy fantasyland. Unfortunately, when she tries to help, she ends up trapped.
She quickly discovers she's lost in a mini-world of trouble, and more captives need rescuing.

Prehistoric sloth shifter Dauro de Mar and his friends have cruelly been imprisoned in their animal forms
for years. His plan to lead the escape is mostly wishful thinking until an intoxicating and magical leopard
shifter arrives still in her human form. She's their game changer.

It's going to take Chantal's and Dauro's combined skills, magic, and courage to evade evil hunters and
greedy fairies, and get everyone out of this mess. Especially since the fairy fantasyland is disintegrating.
Can they fight off danger—and their sizzling attraction—long enough to win their freedom?
Or will they be destroyed by the mother of all storms when this magical land dies?

Find out today in Shifter's Storm, another sizzling hot Ice Age Shifters®
paranormal romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Carol Van Natta.

Shifter's Storm is a complete story with a happily-ever-after and no cliffhanger, and can be enjoyed without
having read the rest of the series.
