Hello from Long Island!

The holidays are here already... I feel like I've been living in Groundhog Day since March and still can't quite accept that it's December. The year's been a strange one.

I'm looking forward to 2021 and hope it brings us all good health and much success.

I finished a new novel, a romantic suspense, that's currently in revision. I'm also working on something brand new for me -- a YA romantic comedy. My Young Adult work tends to be full of angst and drama, so comedy is certainly different. I hope to share good news about both projects in 2021.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for Holiday-themed reads to curl up with, I gotcha covered!

Elena and Lucas met as teens at a special Christmas remembrance for the families of September 11th victims. Now all grown up, they meet again, but even Christmas magic may not be enough to heal these two.

This novel was my first ever adult romance, so it holds a special place in my heart. It is Book 4 in a multi-author Christmas in NY series. Here are the others:

Book 1 is from Jeannie Moon. When single mom Sabrina sees professional hockey player Jake back in town, old memories -- and old heartbreak -- resurface. They wonder if they can find love This Christmas.

Jolyse Barnett's Christmas Light finds Jade returning home to the boy-next-door. But Ben's all grown up now and is a local celebrity. He's not about to let her go so easily this time.

Jennifer Gracen's All I Want for Christmas features Cassandra, a New Yorker through and through. She's dedicated her life to her work as a university professor ever since Sean McKinnon broke her heart all those years ago. But Sean's back now and even though their old chemistry is still very much alive, how is a musician and bar owner supposed to compete with all those English literary types Cass mixes with? Sean is determined to try...

The 4 books can be read as standalones and all of the characters from the other books in the series make appearances in each. They were a lot of fun to write and are even more fun to read...but don't take my word for it! Check them out yourself. You can find all 4 on Amazon or borrow them through your local library's digital lending program. They're even sold as an anthology.

From my family to yours, I hope you have a joy-filled holiday and 2021 brings you health and success!
