Happy New Year!
Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!
2019 is going to be an exciting year with lots of new things happening including the release of my new PNR shifters series SONS OF THE ALPHA.
Book #1 (KNIGHT) is scheduled for release February 1st, and I'm really excited bout this.
It's novella prequel BEAUTY AND HER BEAST is already out in both eBook and paperback, so be sure to read it and gain some insider reader knowledge before reading KNIGHT.
This week's featured author on my web/blog is Australian author and editor - LYNNE STRINGER! An incredible writer's journey that is a must read. www.addisoncarmichael.com
Finally, this week's Great Reads book pick is a leap of faith for me, recommended by my trusty beta reader who enjoys pretty much all the books I do. Find out what that is, and if you've read this series, I would love your feedback!

YOU'RE A MEAN ONE, MR. GRINCH!
Hi everyone! I'm particularly excited about this week's website/blog: www.addisoncarmichael.com
You must read this week's featured author--ERRIN STEVENS and her incredible writer's journey that includes both traditional houses and indie publishing. Her own story and words of wisdom are encouraging for both veteran and aspiring writers.
As always, I have my own weekly thoughts, and this time I went for warm and fuzzy and nostalgic, a fun winter memory of mine. Hope you enjoy LET IT SNOW.
And whether you are a writer or not, I think you'll get a kick out of YOU'RE A MEAN ONE, MR. GRINCH, located in the Writer's Lounge. It's helpful for both reader/reviewers and for writers--reminding us all that "critique" doesn't equate with "criticize", and to be a little kinder towards each other in this often brutal and competitive industry.
Lastly, I'll let you pop on to see my weekly book picks and corresponding recipe. FYI - had to break out the movie right after and enjoyed every minute of it, along with a cookie and brownie.
Have a great week, everyone!
