Surprise Holiday Release for Charity

Back in 2011, I donated a story to Fandom Gives Back. This was an amazing event that raised money for Alex's Lemonade Stand. A reader named Jenna was the winning bidder, and I wrote a holiday short story called "Winter Song" just for her that she then allowed me to share with others. Because this story was written for charity, I've never considered publishing it for profit. But it's been five years, and I'm in a holiday mood, so I've decided to publish it now with 100% of the proceeds going t...

My Favorite Things Giveaway - Final Day!

When going through the list of my favorite things about the holidays, I thought of the usual suspects: The decorations, the lights, the heart-wrenching holiday movies . . . carols and wassailing (what is wassailing anyway?) and the coming together of friends and family.

*takes a moment to sigh wistfully*

Then I thought, "Who am I kidding...

Today in the My Favorite Things Giveaway, we hear from Jeanne McDonald, Contemporary Romance author of Compass and Politically Incorrect!




What is my favorite thing about the holidays? Well, that's a loaded question! I rattled this thought around in my brain for the longest. Because I love Christmas season in general how was I to pick just one thing from the food, the smells, the lights, the tree, the presents, the romance...and there it was. The thing I most love about the holidays is the Chr...

In a house withtwoveryrambunctiouskittens,my husband and I didn't get to do a lot of decorating for the holidays this year. We weren'tquite brave enough to risk one of the minions destroying our hard work.




Instead, we opted to focus more on the things we love about the holiday season, like giving, which leads me to my most favorite part of the holiday....

When asked to think of our favorite things related to Christmas, our minds immediately turn to family.

What is Christmas without family and friends, right?

Oh, and Santa.



Who doesn’t love Santa?! ;)

My Favorite Things Giveaway - Day 3

Today's post in the My Favorite Things giveaway is from author Carrie Elks!


I love December. I love the festive feeling, I love the music, the food, the day itself. In fact there's very little I don't like about this time of year. So trying to narrow down my favorite things to one post is like Santa stuffing toys into his sleigh for every single girl and boy. Almost impossible, and yet I'm going to try to do it.

*Drumroll* My favorite thing about the holidays is FAMILY!

Okay, so let's sta...

Even before it was ever a thing, my family always made a point of watching “A Christmas Story” on TV.





I first saw the movie in 1985. My mother and I had just moved to Oregon a few months before and I was trying to adapt to a new life. She introduced me to the movie and we watched it together at home. She wanted me to see it because the premise reminded her quite a bit of he...
