Something writers argue about.  I’m pro Oxford comma.

Buon Natale!

A Man for All Seasons, about Tyler buying his buddy Marlie a 12 Dates of Christmas package to get her out of his hair and then discovering he wants her for himself, is out in Italy this month.  It’s in a set with books by fellow Blaze authors Samantha Hunter and Jamie Sobrato.  You can see it on Harlequin’s Italian website.

99¢ on the 9th

On the 9th of every month, one of my back list ebooks will be 99¢ for the day.  Since it’s Christmas, this month, The Santa Sleuth will stay 99¢ until the end of the year.

Reporter Amanda Donnelly hates Christmas–and she’s not that fond of kids, either. So when she’s assigned a story about kids visiting Santa Claus at the mall, she wants it over with as fast as possible. In spite of herself, Amanda likes Virginia, the cute, rascally little girl she features, and she falls hard for Kirk, Virginia’s father. Kirk falls for her, too, but a workaholic dad and a lonely little girl who wants a mommy do not fit in Amanda’s life plan. Plans can be changed–but does Kirk love Amanda for herself or is he just looking for a mother for Virginia?

Christmas Cookies!

I blog on the Blaze Authors Blog on the 7th of every month and today, I’m talking cookies.

The weather has finally turned cold just in time to bake Christmas cookies this weekend. I’ll be making Gingersnaps using the Joy of Cooking’s recipe, and Scottish Shortbread which is butter, rice flour, regular flour, and sugar. I also like Forgotten Cookies. These are a meringue with chocolate chips that you drop onto a cookie sheet, put them in a pre-heated oven, and then turn it off and forget about them until the next morning. Then I’ll convince myself that during the past year I’ve miraculously acquired the talent for cut-out sugar cookies and end up with angels with droopy wings and mutant reindeer.  Of course, then I get to eat warm droopy-winged angels and mutant reindeer.
