Snuggle With a Book This Month

by Madelle Morgan




The October fall colors were spectacular in Ottawa, Canada.

In contrast, November is grim. It's cold, damp, and dreary. Outside my wet window, bare, dripping tree branches are silhouetted against a leaden sky.

The bikes and patio furniture are put away. My husband has overhauled the snowblower, and we've stocked up on salt for the steps and path. We're ready for snow and

Christmas is a Romantic Time of Year + Free Book

Dora is short for my birth name Dorothy which means Gift of God. So how could I not have a connection with the spiritual side of Christmas? I love the nativity story, however, I don’t expect everyone to celebrate Christmas the way I do. For many Father Christmas and his magical reindeer pulling a sleigh full of presents for the children is a wonderful tradition that supports the idea of giving

No "Reads," Just Trees

Hobby Lobby featured Christmas merchandise shortly after
Labor Day (or maybe even before) an  Even so, I can’t quite get
myself geared up to read Christmas stories yet. 
Thus—alack, alas—I’m not featuring a holiday read.
d other stores—Target, Kohl’s,

Reading Time! by Paty Jager

Most people like the fall and winter weather because of the holiday flavors available, or wearing sweaters and sweatshirts. They think of family, holidays, and cozy inside activities. For me, this time of year means I get more reading time.

Let me rephrase that. I get more personal reading time. Most of the year my reading is spent researching for the books I write. I tend to believe people
