Mutt's and Mistletoe Book Review
Review of Mutts and Mistletoe by Natalie

her heroine’s Ten Things I Hate About Christmas list. Told in the first person,
the story gives the reader access to Charlie’s thoughts (gently snarky) as well
as her words and actions. This adds an extra

Reads for the Holidays
by Courtney Pierce
This holiday
season, I’ll be breaking from my decades-old tradition of poring through the
inspirational stories of Charles Dickens. I’ve always embraced his tales of the
human condition in my antique editions, two-columns of tiny print on
whisper-thin, fragile pages.

Thankful for Richer-Than-Alma’s-Pie Memories

Exploding Turkey...
Happy Thursday everyone! For many of us next week we will be celebrating Thanksgiving.
This is hands down my favorite holiday. It's calories without guilt and more importantly it is a time that everyone is encouraged to take a minute and 'count their blessings'/look at the positive/be thankful (or your wording of choice).
Sometimes I need this reminder that I have a lot to be thankful for...

Starting A New Tradition
My heritage is Latvian. Latvia is a very small country on the Baltic sea, a country rich with history and traditions. My parents fled during WW2 and made a new life in Australia. I was born in Australia, but didn't actually speak English until I was three.
Latvian food, of course, was a big part of my childhood and Christams Eve was when we had our main Christmas meal. We'd sit around

A Holiday Box Set...by Kristin Wallace
In honor of our Holiday Reads theme, I’m highlighting my book…or rather books. I’m working on a box set with my 3 Shellwater Key Christmas tales. This calls for new covers, which are being designed now.

'Tis the Season to Be Wicked...by Collette Cameron
As always, when researching for my
stories, I learned several fun facts pertaining to Christmas in Scotland and
England during the early 18th century. To begin with, Christmas and
Yule weren’t openly celebrated in Scotland.
Late in the 16th century, St.
Mungo’s Cathedral wished to abolish the pagan rituals associated with Yule
(originally the Viking festival jól) and the Kirk threatened
