Free for your Kindle

I'm late in posting this--forgive me, but it's only days before Christmas!--but if you haven't already done so, go to Amazon and pick up a copy of GLIMMERS OF HEAVEN for FREE! The promotion will last only a few more hours, so if you're looking for a sweet Christian romance that is also a breezy, short read, then this little book is waiting for your Kindle.

And more news on a brand-new book, coming very soon. So make sure to check back, as I'll probably have a post on it within a week or so.

GLIMMERS OF HEAVEN

My Christian inspirational, GLIMMERS OF HEAVEN, has a new look! I wasn't completely happy with the first cover, so I redesigned it. The picture reminds me of how much my own love, my husband Bill, love taking strolls along the beach, especially early in the morning. And, no surprise, there's a scene in which the hero and heroine take a stroll down at the Jersey shore.

But anyway, I'm happy with the new cover!

Author's Chat & More News

Join me tonight for a Winter Chat held by New Concepts Publishing! Also at the blog will be authors Fiona Neal, Nicole Ash, and more NCP authors. There'll be prizes to win, plus chatting about BOOKS! So come on over tonight at 10 PM.

In more news, want to win a free copy of 'TWAS THE SPY BEFORE CHRISTMAS? Author Mysti Parker is giving away TEN copies of my new Christmas romance novella right here on her great blog. PLUS more prizes. Drop by for a visit--better yet, bookmark her page and grab some of her books, too!

And now I'm off to work on my WIP, plus shopping and to hang out with my family. Our older son and his fiancee, Joey and Iris, are here with us for some days before Christmas, so we're taking in every moment we can!

November Wrap-Up

Good evening, y'all!

I probably should wait until tomorrow to post, since the hubby and I were up very early this morning. We wanted to drop something off at our church today before heading to a family event (the baptism of Brandon & Yesica's little nephew), with a lovely party that followed afterwards. After all that, I think I'm falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

But I was excited to announce that the first draft of 'TWAS THE SPY BEFORE CHRISTMAS is finished! The tentative date for its publication is December 1. This being my second indie book, I'm hoping to have it available for the Sony reader and other markets, in addition to the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook. TTSBC is a quirky romance, not your typical Christmas reading. So make sure to add this baby to your wish list!

What I found even more interesting, and it was NOT planned, is that there is room for a sequel. We'll see how that turns out.

In the meantime I've got other irons in the fire, including a few surprises for my readers. There are other things with publishers in the works, besides more indie books that I'll be producing myself next year.

So I'm happy about the November wrap-up of this work, because that frees me up to work on my upcoming projects and a surprise that's on the way. Check back for more details, plus a slice of 'TWAS THE SPY BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

And in case I don't blog more until later, have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

So I'm wishing you an early Merry Christmas!

Great Treat, Less Fat!

What's not to love?

Our new Target has a Starbucks. Yes, baby! That's exciting to me, since you have to travel about twenty miles from our small town to get to the nearest Starbucks. I'm sure this isn't new for others, but the Skinny Peppermint Mocha (for only 100 calories; that's for the tall size) caught my eye. My only complaint is that I drank it too quickly. Great treat and surprisingly rich. Less fat, too, so it's a smart choice for those of us always looking for healthier but delicious alternatives.

Besides which, with that little dusting of peppermint mingled with chocolate, it really tastes like the upcoming holidays. Enjoy!
