🎄Christmas is coming and so are the holiday stories! 🎄

Hi lovely readers,
Can you believe it's nearly December? Where has the year gone? Although I must admit, I love the holiday season - the gifting, the food, the time spent with family. This year I've made advent calendars for my daughters. One is a book advent calendar, the other a planner and stationery supplies. I had so much fun putting them together.
One of the main things I love this time of year is all the holiday romance. Whether it's a Hallmark movie or a book, I'm in heaven.
Today I want to share with you the release of Twinkling Elf (last year's Rainbow Advent Calendar story) and a new cover for The Proof is in the Pudding. Plus, both ebooks are now available wide.
TWINKLING ELF
Opposites attract when doing a good deed brings two friends together for Christmas.
When Micah returns to town and volunteers to run Santa’s workshop, he never expects his brother’s best friend to be working alongside him. It seems the time apart has done nothing to kill the crush he’s always had on Nicholas, and he’ll need to learn to live with it. Showing up each day in his silly elf costume is going to be torture.
Back home for the holidays, Nicholas gets roped into assisting at the kid’s play center, but it turns out being Santa’s photographer has its perks. He loves spending time with Micah, whose Christmas spirit is infectious and does strange things to Nicholas’ heart. Not to mention those adorable leggings!
The festive season, two friends, two good deeds, and the gift of love.
Twinkling Elf is a low-angst gay Christmas story featuring opposites attract, brother’s best friend, a long-time crush, with sexy times and a sweet ending. It’s a stand-alone story filled with Christmas spirit. It was part of the 2022 Rainbow Advent Calendar.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING
The Australian bush. A Christmas with friends. A chance to mend a broken heart.
Steve Hayes is spending Christmas break away with a group of friends. He's determined to put his two-timing ex-boyfriend in the past and enjoy his week away. When he finds that Corey Oh, the guy he's always admired, is invited too, he's equally thrilled and terrified.
But Steve knows there's no way someone as wonderful as Corey, who could have any man he wanted, would be interested in him. However, when fate throws them together in a misadventure with a Christmas pudding, it looks as if Steve's dreams can come true.
The Proof is in the Pudding is a feel-good Australian gay holiday romance featuring friends-to-lovers and second chances, with cooking mishaps and Christmas sweetness.
COLLIER'S CREEK
Did you know that since the release of Blue Skies, all the Collier's Creek books are now available? You can read them on Amazon and on Kindle Unlimited.
SHARING IS CARING
As usual, I have some books from friends to share with you.
Snowed in at Christmas Cottage by Ali Ryecart
Two strangers, one cottage, and a blizzard that changes everything.
In the quiet isolation of a snowed in cottage, William guards his shattered heart. His world’s been ripped apart, and he has no idea how to start living again. Little does he know life is about to come crashing in.
Kyle’s seeking his own refuge from the festive season. Arriving in the dead of night, the last thing he’s expecting is to be attacked by a half naked man.
Both have booked the cottage. Both are determined to stay. But as the weather worsens neither is able to leave, and they’re left with no choice but to stay and endure each other’s unwanted company.
Thin skinned William and cocky Kyle are opposites in every way, and their initial clash sparks an icy standoff. Yet, as the snowflakes continue to fall, so do the barriers between them. Exploring the winter wonderland beyond the cottage, and sharing Christmas treats by the crackling fire, smouldering attraction starts to ignite.
Can William overcome the burden of his secret heartache, and will Kyle be able to convince him that life and love are there for the taking — but only if he is brave enough to seize the chance?
A Lot of Snow For Christmas by BL Maxwell
Jack Mathews wanted to get away from the city and enjoy some time on the slopes. He’d rented a nice cabin in the mountains and was more than ready to spend some time alone before the holidays.
Being from a large family, Ronnie Diaz decided this was a good year for him to spend a white Christmas with his dog, Chewie. He’s looking forward to some peace and quiet, but no amount of planning would have helped when the weather took a turn for the worse.
Two strangers with very different lifestyles stuck together in a snow-covered cabin with no heat or power. It might take more than a cute dog to help them survive it.
A Daddy for Christmas: Brighton by TL Travis
Brighton Stanley lived under the control of his strict parents until he finished college. After toughing it out another year and saving every dime he made, he was all too happy to be in his first apartment away from their meddling. But that didn’t matter to them, and they kept his room just as he’d left it, awaiting his return. But Brighton knew there was nothing that would make him ever go back.
Happy reading!
