I’m a huge sucker for Christmas. I love
the sparkling lights and the tinsel and the puddings and mince pies and the
getting together with family and friends. It’s all such a blast! I also love
watching Carols by Candlelight on TV. Every Christmas Eve, there’s a massive
concert in Melbourne that’s broadcast live on national TV. Ever since I can
remember I’ve watched the carols, holding a candle with sticky-taped with a
drip catcher made of cardboard.
Christmas is made up of these little
traditions, ably demonstrated by a fantastic performance from comedian Tim
Minchin, he of Matilda, the musical
fame.
And, just because I love it, here’s a
fantastic telling of Neil Gaiman’s subversive and spooky poem about Father
Christmas.
Anyhoo, that’s about it from me. I hope
you all have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful festive season, however you
celebrate.

Christmas in
Freewill
Christmas Eve, the
Diamond Saloon is empty of its people, and Pearl la Monte has a hankering to
retire early. A pounding at the Diamond’s door rids her of such a fool notion.
Her irritation rises when she sees the prissy, polite-like Garrett standing
outside.
Ethan Garrett has a
powerful need to gain succor. When the saloon’s voluptuous redheaded singer
scowls at him from the threshold of the Diamond, he doesn’t stop to think on
how his ire at her has disappeared. Or how he just wants to spend some time in
her company.
When a blizzard storms
in, trapping them, will they spend their time arguing or find their irritation
for each other disguises something more?

Cassandra grew up daydreaming, inventing
fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures. Once she learned to read (First
phrase – To the Beach. True story), she was never without a book, reading of
other people’s fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures.
Fairy
tales, Famous Fives, fantasies and fancies; horror stories, gumshoe detectives,
science fiction; Cassandra read it all. Then she discovered Romance and a true
passion was born.
So,
once upon a time, after making a slight detour into the world of finance,
Cassandra tried her hand at writing. After a brief foray into horror, she
couldn’t discount her true passion. She started to write Romance and fell head
over heels.
Cassandra
lives in Adelaide, South Australia.
