Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope you’re
enjoying the season. I’m eating too much, relaxing and hanging out with family.
Of course, we’re all excited to see what Santa leaves us on Wednesday morning,
right? Or are you the type to open gifts the night before?
When I lived far away from family and I
worked on Christmas morning (by choice…I switched days with coworkers with kids
so I could go out and celebrate on New Year’s Eve), I had a big production
Christmas Eve. I would put my Christmas lights on, light some candles, stick
the movie Scrooge (with Alistair Sim) in the DVD player, and have dinner. When
the movie was over, I pulled out all my presents and opened them to Christmas
music or another Christmas movie. When I moved closer to family, I got back in
the habit of waiting for Santa and opening gifts the next morning.
What about you? Do you open gifts one
time or another? Or do you open 1 gift Christmas Eve and then the rest on
Christmas morning?
This year one of the best presents I
could ask for is coming from my FANTABULOUS publisher! What’s the gift, you
ask? My very first full-length romantic suspense book, Liar, Liar, is being released this coming Friday! (That’s the 27th.)
I can’t wait to share Devin and Grady’s story. Two people who are complete
opposites and don’t trust each other join together to fight the bad guys. Grady
and Devin have lived in my head for quite a long time. They’re both so much
larger than life sometimes I forget they aren’t real people.
Want to find out more about Devin and
Grady? Here’s the blurb:
Unable to protect her mother from her father as a child, Devin
McQueen has made it her mission as an adult to protect as many abused women and
children as she can. The rare moments she’s not consumed with work as a
victims' advocate, she limits her involvements to safe, predictable
men....until she meets bounty hunter Grady Cooper. He is big, bold,
brash, and has no problem speaking his mind.
Growing up in a broken home, Grady realized early on that good
deeds had a price. To survive, he learned to weigh every decision by what
he could gain. Unfortunately,
the successful, solitary life he’s worked so hard to create spins out of
control when demons from his past shake his confidence. His boss has given
him one last chance—bring in Devin's latest client quickly, and quietly and
maybe he'll still have a job. It didn’t sound unreasonable until he met Devin.
Suddenly, Grady must make a decision: save his career or follow
his heart?
So…what do you think? Sounds pretty good, huh? Well, you’ll
have to wait a few more days for it, but I guarantee it will be worth it! Until
then, have a Merry Christmas!
