December 27, 2023
My whirlwind week wrapped up two nights ago with dinner for extended family, but sickness kept half of the intended group of eighteen home.
That means there are a lot of mashed potatoes still in the refrigerator.
And green bean casserole.
I won't mention the large platter of cookies⏤gingersnaps, three-layer bars, and some wickedly good chocolate salted coffee cookies my daughter made for the first time⏤yum! I'm not worried about the cookies being consumed.
Anyway, I wanted to send out a short and sweet final newsletter before 2023 comes to a close and wish you all a peace-filled and lovely start to the New Year!

Last week I mistakenly referred to the sale price of Love, Lies and Mistletoe as .99 instead of $1.99 - sorry for that if you clicked on one of the retail sites and saw the wrong price. There are four more days to get it for the still-low cost of $1.99.
Here's an excerpt from Love, Lies and Mistletoe:
As she sat in the silence of her room, little snippets of an imaginary scene played in her mind’s eye like a movie trailer.
The dark green velvet dress hugged her curves, its hem grazing her ankles. Her gaze swept Blueberry Point Lodge’s dining room. It had been decked out in its holiday finery by her very own skilled hands. She closed her eyes and swayed to the melody from a string quartet playing Mozart’s “Sleigh Ride” in the background. When she opened them, Brant’s dark eyes mesmerized her. They danced in the middle of the room, spinning, smiling, flirting. Cameras flashed around the perimeter, taking photos. She couldn’t care less about her surroundings though. Brant looked devastatingly handsome in a black tux with matching velvet lapels. He pulled her close, his lips brushing her exposed ear. He whispered, his voice low and intoxicating—
What was she doing?
She’d heard that extreme shock could bring on a momentarily lapse from reality, an eyes-wide-open coma. This romantic fantasy with Brant Johnsson skipping through her mind definitely fit the bill.
LOVE, LIES and MISTLETOE is available at all e-book retailers⏤Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, Kobo and more. Find your favorite one here: books2read.com/u/3LjW7N

I'm reading Courtney Walsh's Merry Ex-Mas right now and thoroughly enjoying it. I put it down last year a third of the way in after getting distracted by life. By the time I got back to it, it was February and I wasn't in the mood for holiday books anymore. The grumpy/sunshine trope is one of my favorites.
