Round of Applause
Strawberry Shifters Book 2
by Marilyn Barr
Genre: Paranormal Romance 

Picture
Aurora Turner embarks on a post-graduate adventure to find her forever family only to be captured by the Sluagh, soul-sucking Fae exiles. While she is grateful to be rescued by the Strawberry shifters, her Prince Not-So-Charming is a little hasty when he starts picking out their wedding china.
Destiny gives James Martin a second chance at love. Aurora may prove to be more of a hazard to herself than the Sluagh ever were. He has the daunting task of keeping her away from sharp objects, and from ogling his best friend, Nate.
Nate Wagner is shocked when Aurora passes the prophesized shifter smell test identifying her as his mate. The beta male competes against the mature courtship skills of James with his own modern twist.
However, will his devotion to James keep her out of his arms or will they create their perfect family—one they never dreamed of?

​“Thank you for the offer,” I say after taking a deep breath, “but I decided to go through with the surgery. I need to own this. I hope you both understand.”
“I have been advising everyone the surgery is what you needed. I knew what was best for you,” James says placing his hand on my shoulder. Something about the gesture makes me feel suffocated. I shrug his hand off and push Nate’s hands away.
“You don’t get to do that,” I say looking James in the eye. “This is my consequence for my actions.”
“Of course, we both will comfort you as you grieve—” Nate starts.
“You don’t get to do that either,” I say acidly. “Who said I needed to grieve? I will have to relearn a lot of tasks, but I want the challenge. I want to live. I want to live as a stronger version of myself. I want to be the girl who survived a month of torment to cut herself from the chains.”
“We are sorry it happened to you,” says Nate.
“Yes, we feel sorry on your behalf,” adds James.
“That’s the problem,” I thunder. “If you were listening, you would know I’m not sorry. You don’t have the right to be more upset, more offended, or more…more…anything, than me! You can’t take this away.”

​    “You look perfect. I mean perfectly healthy. I mean mostly uninjured,” she stammers. She places her tiny hand over her eyes.
Feeling braver than ever, I walk right up to her. I gently remove the hand from her face and hold it to my own. “See, I’m fine,” I whisper as I gently rub my thumb over her tiny knuckles.
Her eyes lift to mine and lock our gazes. I have always found the golden color of her eyes fascinating but never studied them up close. They are light brown with a golden star in the middle. I am literally star gazing as she takes in the injuries to my face. We stand there for about a minute, lost in time.
I wonder if she is thinking about when we first started dating, the hard times that followed, the present, or the future. I search her face for clues but don’t want to break the spell by opening my mouth. I decide to put said mouth to better use by lowering my head toward hers.

Marilyn Barr currently resides in the wilds of Kentucky with her husband, son, and rescue cats. She has a diverse background containing experiences as a child prodigy turned medical school reject, published microbiologist, special education/inclusion science teacher, homeschool mother of a savant, certified spiritual & energy healer, and advocate for the autistic community. This puts her in the position to bring tales containing heroes who are regular people with different ability levels and body types, in a light where they are powerful, lovable, and appreciated. When engaging with the real world, she is collecting characters, empty coffee cups, and unused homeschool curricula. She is a sucker (haha) for cheesy horror movies, Italian food, punk music, black cats, bad puns, and all things witchy.

Isn't there something decadent about a love interest who has their animal instincts just under their skin? Bringing out the wild side of everyday heroes is one of the overarching themes in the Strawberry Shifters.

Thank you. I love how they capture the contrasting personalities of the heroines. Alison in Bear with Me is mystical, ethereal, and quietly strong. While Aurora in Round of Applause is bold, outrageous, and a bit of a wild child.

Yes, the series will have 16 main thread books plus spin-off stories of the Seagrass, California, and Mountain shifter packs. Book 3: Go Scorch Yourself has been submitted for publication spring of 2021, Smoother Than Spumoni (a Seagrass shifter spin-off) has been submitted for publication summer of 2021, and Book 4: Rotten Apple will come out fall of 2021. I would like to release at least one book every season.

How do you develop the relationships between characters?

Reply
Marilyn Barr link
12/8/2020 06:58:07 am

For Book 1: Round of Applause, Aurora is modeled after a little girl in my son's adaptive swimming class. Her parent's unique relationship is the basis for the conclusion of this book. I wanted to show their family structure in a positive non-fetish way and how they were a loving typical family. Her parents were the first readers of the book and helped me frame the relationship between the characters. Book 1: Bear with Me was much easier since it is modeled after my own experiences with sensory processing disorder and a last chance move to save my marriage. This theme continues with Book 3: Go Scorch Yourself. Vampire Lucien is in the same professional dilemma I was in at age 21 when I was placed in a microbiology position way over my head. I can't wait for you to meet him and all the other characters in Strawberry!
