Christmas Reads

By Anonymous
Happy Wednesday All,

Can you believe it? Just a little over a week until Christmas. (If you look in the margin of this blog you'll see I have a countdown for Christmas and one for New Year's).

Once in awhile I come across Christmas stories I really love. Here's a few:

The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber. (Really funny, and also a fun read).

The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere (based off the hit song. If you cry easily make sure you have a tissue box nearby!)

The Christmas Box Collection by Richard Paul Evans. (This series is what got me reading Richard Paul Evans books).

Of course, The Night Before Christmas poem by Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston, Jr. is always a great read and the Nativity stories in the Gospels in the Bible--but I do realize not everyone is Christian--but I don't really know stories dealing with Hanukkah and other holidays.

In any case, whatever you choose to read this season (or any season) hope it takes you away on a wonderful journey :-)

Have A Wonderland Wednesday!

Ugh to The Christmas Shoes. I hear that song and it makes me cry every single time. I don't think I could handle reading the story!

Stephanie,

The story is really nice, but yeah, the song does make me cry. They were showing the movie that goes with the book (and song) on TV and it was the part where the mother is dying and I started to bawl!

I believe the actress who was in Steve Martin's "Father Of The Bride" (she played his daughter) plays the mom in the movie version of "The Christmas Shoes". Good actress :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

It's All About August..

By
  Hi Everyone! End of August is coming up, and thus, it's time for a monthly update from yours truly. Currently, I'm waiting on some responses on queries for Sugar & Frost . There's been a bit more interest since #UnhingedPit and #questpit, so that's great. I love this story so much, that I'm happy with other people get interested. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fun read. I call it the "book of my heart" because it's just exactly something I'd pick up as a reader and cuddle up with a comfy blanket in a chair, couch, or in bed, with something hot to drink and just enjoy. I also dedicated it to my siblings, so there is a personal aspect to it, too. Other manuscripts:  Moonrise Pack: Shifter Secrets (YA Fantasy, wolf shifters, sweet romance) is in edits--I finally sat down and started working on it. I'm not very far along in the editing, yet, but hopeful about polishing it. I had made a poster for it for #PosterPit since they allow W...

Spotlight On Author: Christie Craig

By Anonymous
Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
