Hi Scott,
Great to hear from you and I'm so glad you enjoy the audiobooks. I would love for Christmas Camp Wedding to be an audiobook but I'm afraid that's up to HarperCollins the publisher but I will pass on your feedback! That makes my heart happy to hear you'd like a new Christmas book ever year as that is my plan! This is now one of my new Christmas traditions I'm going to do everything I can do try and keep. I'm already working on my one for next year and of course there MUST always be a dog, right?! Thank you again for taking the time to reach out and to champion my Christmas stories! Happiest of holidays to you!(less)

Movies I can't control but the books that might be easier! I can't wait to hear what you think of my latest novel Christmas Ever After and if your book club is reading it this year let me know and we can schedule a fun virtual book club meeting I'm doing for people as my way to give back. Free, fun and festive all the best things! Happy Holidays!
