Christmas in July Giveaway!

our first chrismas revised 9-16

Happy Summer! The temp has been in the 90s and, despite it getting a bit too toasty some days, I love my southern summers and all the visiting and activities that come along with it. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t get into the winter holiday spirit long enough to share a giveaway and to let you know that Our First Christmas is being re-released this September.

A USA Today  best-seller,  the collection features novellas from Lisa Jackson (Under the Mistletoe), me (A Ranger for Christmas), Mary Carter (A Southern Christmas) and Cathy Lamb (Christmas in Montana).

Ready for a touch of holiday romance?  If so, I hope you’ll enter for a chance to win a copy of Our First Christmas

Audiobook Month Celebration Continues with a New Giveaway

Audiobook MonthI’m still celebrating Audiobook Month and I hope you are, too.  It’s a terrific excuse to discover new writers and narrators. I hope you’re finding some wonderful reads to wile away the time.

 

th_196fed19a57c6bc2e3b62660cdf2abbd_TheCrossingTradeLately, I’ve been very into my own genre, suspense. Right now, I’m listening to Michael Connelly’s The Crossing. (Harry Bosch TheBoneCollectorMM-220x354teams up with Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller)  On tap next is Jeffrey Deaver’s The Bone Collector (the first Lincoln Rhyme title) and then Kathleen glory-over-everything-9781476748443_lgGrissom’s follow up to The Kitchen House, Glory Over Everything.

 

I love to hear who’s reading what and getting recommendations for my “to be listened to” pile, so please share some of your favorites with me here or on social media.
