I had my first book signing in almost two years this past weekend and it was fabulous. Local coffee shop owners Rod and Laura of Crossroads Cafe pulled out all the stops to make me and the people who visited to get coffee and books signed feel welcome. There was a special drink--Mistletoe Mocha--to commemorate the occasion, too (peppermint⏤yum!). Luckily, my daughter sat beside me to keep the conversations flowing while I signed (if anyone can talk and write at the same time, I'm in awe).

I do have paperbacks of LOVE, LIES and SLEIGH RIDES left over from the weekend, so if you'd like one personally signed for yourself or to give as a gift, use this

form. Paperbacks are $9 each plus $3.85 to ship within the U.S.

Also, be sure to grab LOVE LIKE WATER this week if you have yet to dive into the Hearts in Hendricks series. Darcy and Sean's love story is FREE thru Saturday, 11/26! Click the graphic below to go to the Amazon sales page.

Here's one more reminder that I'm participating in romance author Kathleen Ryder's Email Advent Calendar this year. My contribution will be a bonus scene for LOVE, LIES and SLEIGH RIDES and a related recipe which I've submitted to her. My scene will be included in her newsletter December 23rd, but I'll be sharing it a week early through my newsletter as a special 'thank you' for subscribing.

Her Advent calendar will consist of 24 daily emails full of Christmas cheer, recipes, anecdotes, personal tidbits, giveaways, and free reads from a range of romance and women’s fiction authors! It's free to join, and you can opt-out at any time. The first e-mail goes out on December 1st.

What's on my nightstand this week? I finished The Bodyguard and loved it as I do all of Katherine Center's books. Now I've started Merry Ex-Mas by Courtney Walsh. She was a new-to-me author last year after I found A Cross-Country Christmas which was the cutest book. I'll have to find another Christmas book after this one. I'm open to suggestions!

A SWEET & SWOONY TITLE

(click the covers to visit the sales pages)

He's a Marine turned small-town cop, and she's the single mom next door. Can the magic of Christmas unite them even with all that stands in their way?

"This is a fun, charming and lighthearted Christmas story, but with some serious themes of loss, grieving, and moving forward. It’s also part mystery as Jack tries to solve the cold case involving Robin’s husband. I loved this book with its wonderful characters, engaging storyline, and beautiful Christmas spirit! It will definitely be a Christmas reread for years to come for me." - Amazon review
