#tuesdaytease 10.26.24

If you know, you know…that today’s tease is going to be about (what else??!! LOL) my upcoming Dickens release A CHEF’S KISS CHRISTMAS.

But….maybe not.

Today I’d like to tease the other books in the series – the one’s I’ve written – just in case you haven’t read them yet or been exposed to the Dickens universe.

All my stories center around Dorrit’s Diner and Amy Charles’ adopted kids.

The first book in my part of the series, ANGELS KISSES AND HOLIDAY WISHES, introduced Amy as a secondary walk-on, walk-off character. I loved her so much that I wanted to write an entire series about her.

So I did.

Her origin story is SANTA BABY.

Then, FIXING CHRISTMAS details Amy’s first daughter, ABRACADABRA CHARLES, life. She’s back in Dickens and living in a house that is literally falling down around her ears. Enter hunky ex-military town Mr. Fixit, Colton Bree. Shenanigans and love ensues.

In SASHA’S SECRET SANTA, Amy’s middle child, SASHA CHARLES, an emergency room nurse, comes home to Dickens after a life-altering event. She leaves the nursing profession behind her and wants to start anew. Enter Steve Caldwell, the new administrator for Dickens Memorial Hospital. He wants Sasha on his staff.

And after getting to know her, his life.

DON’T MESS WITH THE MISTLETOE details the life of Amy’s “baby”, six-foot-four Michael Charles, a pilot. He’s back in Dickens for a rest from his hectic life and gets wrangled into working at his Mom’s diner for a bit while she takes a rest. Waitress Julia Maryland and her six-year-old daughter Blake don’t fit into Michael’s version of a carefree, globe-trotting life. But, he’s beginning to wonder if his wanderlust has burned itself out…and if being a homebody is what will bring him happiness. Of course, is Julia is added into the mix, then…

ANd then there’s this year’s book, A CHEF’S KISS CHRISTMAS, which I have been promoting, ad nauseum, for weeks.
