Holiday Themed Books by Laura Scott

 

Good morning! I'm back today to discuss books with a holiday theme. Do you choose books around a particular holiday? Or doesn't it matter?

Every year during these last three months of October, November and December the sales channels are flooded with Christmas stories. That's a good thing, right? Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate and I know readers absolutely adore these stories. 

But what about the other holidays?  Thanksgiving? Easter? Fourth of July? New Year's Eve? I rarely see these holidays being showcased in romance stories. Is that because there isn't much interest from the readers? Or more that these holidays aren't as much fun to write?

We generally celebrate Thanksgiving at our house, which is wonderful. It's a time to truly look back at the year and to thank God for all of our blessings. I haven't written a Thanksgiving story in a long time, maybe that's something to think about for next year.

Share your thoughts on holiday themed stories. And of course, I did write a Christmas Novella this year,  to finish up my Smoky Mountain Secrets series. Caitlyn's Christmas releases on November 2nd and will be $0.99 through Christmas.

Will she survive to celebrate Christmas?

 

When an injured cat runs across the road, Caitlyn doesn’t hesitate to rescue the feline. But she isn’t prepared to witness a brutal murder. She slips away, only to lock eyes with the murderer, recognizing him as someone she’d seen earlier. Now the killer knows who she is, too. Caitlyn calls her cop friend Devon Rainer for advice, humbled when he agrees to protect her. 

 

Devon is concerned about Caitlyn’s safety, especially after they return to the scene of the crime to find the dead woman gone without a trace. The escalating attacks against Caitlyn, prove the killer intends to silence anyone who can identify him. Devon’s priority is to keep Caitlyn safe, while finding the killer. Will they survive long enough to celebrate Christmas and their newfound love?

Trick or Treat - by Magdalena Scott

Aaack! How can my favorite month be almost over?

Our community's official trick or treat is set for the evening of Saturday the 30th. Many local groups are hosting trunk or treats in their parking lots. At least one of those is a drive-through. In 2020, due to covid, trick or treat mostly didn't happen here. I'll be interested to see whether the usual numbers of candy customers show up at the doors of folks who turn on their front porch lights to advertise: Get your sugar fix here!

In my book, A Piece of Her Soul, something frightening happens on Halloween. (Don't worry, it'll be okay. Happy ending guaranteed!)

For only 99 cents, you can buy the ebook version of A Piece of Her Soul by clicking BUY WITH COUPON. This offer is available exclusively at Smashwords during their Halloween promotion.

A PIECE OF HER SOUL: Sweet romance meets light paranormal. Don’t miss Autumn in Serendipity!

Nick Marshall has a hole in his soul, and Jacqueline must help him find the missing piece. Their teenage history in the gossipy town of Serendipity compounds the situation, as Jacqueline’s visit to help her injured mother turns into something more.

The little town hasn’t changed much. The gossip tree still has branches and roots everywhere, most folks remember the town’s past better than they can imagine its future, and the autumn colors are more beautiful than anywhere Jacqueline has traveled in the years since she left.

Jacqueline’s gift is needed here, but she won’t risk her heart, or put her family in the spotlight, by staying.

Click here to get your ebook of A Piece of Her Soul and choose BUY WITH COUPON--only at Smashwords.

A Piece of Her Soul is Book 7 in the Serendipity, Indiana series but can also be read as a standalone with its own happily ever after.

So, tell me: what is your trick-or-treat methodology this year?

Thanks for first responders!

Here in northern California, wildfire has become an unfortunate part of our lives. Signs are up in many locations thanking firefighters and other first responders for their amazing work. I couldn't agree more. The crowds of workers who have come to help have not been able to save every home or even every community, but they've done outstanding work in saving so much and so many lives. I am grateful.

This past week, I had even more personal reasons for gratitude. Early one morning, I felt uneasy and went into the kitchen hoping to settle my stomach. One moment, I was at the kitchen counter opening a can of seltzer water. The next, I was waking up on the floor wondering what happened. 

When my husband saw my condition, he called in reinforcements. I had the opportunity to meet a handful of firefighters, an ambulance crew, and a number of folks on two different shifts in the Emergency Department at our local hospital. 

All of these fine first responders treated me with respect, sensitivity and total kindness. No one berated me for the unwise decisions that probably led to my circumstance. All were professional, thorough, and completely, totally kind. I couldn't have asked for better treatment.

I came home that same morning and have done very well in healing, The results are not pretty, but I have no doubt I am on my way to full recovery. And as we approach the month of thanksgiving, I am more grateful than I can say for the wonderful folks who helped along the way. Thanks, First Responders!

What Makes You Smile? by Pat Simmons

 I'm smiling as I write this blog. Dogs really are a family's best friend. When the lockdown  because of pandemic began, my daughter States away from home alone. Neither my son nor daughter are married, and have children.. 

"Mom, COVID is hard on single people living in an apartment."

As the Stay-at-Home order continued, my daughter, Simi, decided it was time to get a dog--miniature goldendoddle  when he was weaned from his mother at six weeks. I said snickerdoddle for the longest. Lol.  He has taught my daughter that she needs sharpen her parenting skills (another smile, actually belly-aching laughter). Pictures and videos of each stage of his development has been met with fascination, humor and aw moments.

Months ago, Avery learned the power of his bark and he tested it on anyone walking outside her door or outside on the sideway. It was hilarious, because his bark is bigger than his bite.

So here's to celebrate his first birthday, Dr. Avery Bennett Simmons and his best friend Buddy.

Whenever Simi calls and relays his antics, I have to laugh. When they fly home for Thanksgiving, if the Lord wills, I'll have a doggie bed waiting for him and a toy.

Yep, this is our fearless little thirteen pound tiger unless it's a bigger dog. :)

Made you smile!

Meddling Grandmas by Janice Lynn

 Hi, y'all! Before I sat down to write this post, I was discussing my upcoming release, Wrapped Up in Christmas Hope and some meddling grandmas who are in the story.

Grammy Claudia and Grandma Ruby saw some sparks between Andrew & Morgan and had no qualms about fanning the flames. It got me to thinking about my own grandparents. None of them were meddling. At least, if they were, they were so sly about it that I never noticed--which might be the case. I'm so blessed that I still have my grandma on my dad's side.

She lives with my parents and is as sharp as ever. I'm positive that her memory is better than mine. I love to talk with her, ask stories about her childhood, and her life. Prior to my grandfather passing, my sister and I interviewed them and recorded it. I learned so many things that I now cherish knowing--such as that the first time she rode in a car was on her way to her wedding to my Papa. The driver had to pull over so she could throw up because she got car sick. She was convinced that everyone that she was pregnant because of that even though she wasn't. Or that on the day they met one of the first things she said to him was that he needed to go to church. I also never knew that while growing up she wanted to be a writer. Possibly silly little things, but I truly treasure those tidbits about their lives. In Wrapped Up in Christmas Hope, Andrew has cherished memories with his Grandma Ruby such as their singing Elvis songs together and how she's a great cook. Morgan recalls spending Christmases with her Grammy Claudia and those memories give her the warm fuzzies. Like them, I have some great memories with my grandmothers (and grandfathers). What are some of your favorite memories of your grandparents? Were you grandparents meddlers? Or, if you're a grandma, like me now (woot! woot!) are you a meddler? 

 Yes, y'all totally knew I was going to work in a photo of Kian, right? LOL. So, he's a little young for me to meddle with the best of intentions, but maybe someday if this amazing young lady comes along and he needs a little encouragement.... ;)

Taking a Break by Merri Maywether

This October, Randy and I took a weekend hiatus from teaching and writing to visit our sons, Chris and Charlie, in Arizona. Chris is thirty-one, and Charlie is twenty-eight years old.  

When they were little, our weekends were wrapped up in attending their school events. So the weekend was a visit to routines of the past. 

In the weeks leading up to our trip, we planned. 

Chris and Charlie wanted comfort food. Meatloaf, roast beef, and barbecue chicken. And, nary a vegetable was requested, so I planned on having a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. 

Because it was a whirlwind weekend, I made all the meals in the crockpot. We’d go out for the day and return to the house to have a hearty meal and play games. The raw fruit and veggies turned into great nibbling food.

On Friday, we visited the interactive Van Gogh exhibit in Scottsdale, AZ. I studied art history in college but didn’t do anything as clever as study Van Gogh’s self-portraits side by side. 

I was awed.

Vincent Van Gogh captured the aging process in every picture.

The way he used color to capture sound and motion was a testament to his genius.

The exhibit was touching, inspiring and prompted me to question; What stories will inspire people one and two hundred years from now? 

The adventure continued the next day with a viewing of Hamilton.

A year ago, we were in our own homes, talking every weekend, for hours, on zoom. 

I told the boys about watching Hamilton on Disney Plus. Seeing their reactions to the live show made it that much better.

They talked about both shows for the remainder of the weekend. Yes, a mom win!

I boarded the plane back to Montana with a healed heart and mind full of ideas for stories. 

I also was awakened with a keen awareness. Sometimes the cure for a tired heart can be found in the easiest place —with family.

Now that I've shared my story. I have a question for you. What are some things you do to fill your well when you feel yourself getting tired?

p.s. Here is an easy recipe for roast beef in the crockpot. We had no leftovers.

Merri Maywether lives with her husband in rural Montana. You can find her in the town's only coffee house listening to three generations of Montanans share their stories. Otherwise, she's in the classroom or the school library, inspiring the next generation's writers.

ROMANCE IN THE BADLANDS

Vickie McDonough

Three Complete Novels

In the rugged North Dakota Badlands, the three McFarland siblings struggle to make their ranch a success.

Wild at Heart

Dime novelist Mariah resents Adam McFarland claiming her facts about the West are wrong. At his invitation, she

heads to his ranch in North Dakota. But when her train is robbed, and a man is shot trying to help her, she makes sure he gets home. When he turns out to be the very man she came to visit, she is shocked into silence about her identity.

As she falls for the troubled cowboy who has his own secrets, will the truth ruin their blossoming romance?

care for her, he wonders if he can still do his job. Will justice prevail or will love win out?

Straight for the Heart

When the mail-order bride his grandmother secretly ordered for him doesn't arrive, Quinn McFarland is

relieved. But the only way to keep her from ordering another one is to find his own wife-and fast. When the sheriff suggests Quinn marry the gal in his jail, he balks. Marriage to Sarah could solve Quinn's need for a wife and fix Sarah's problems--but dare he marry an outlaw?

Kimberly Rose Johnson Asks: What is Your Favorite Candy?

I don't know about you, but October is one of those months when I have candy on the brain. I was very tempted to pull over and visit Sees Candy the other day, but I resisted and kept driving.

Do you have a favorite candy that's hard for you to say no to?

In my Librarian Sleuth series, my main character Nancy Daley loves M&Ms. She and I have that in common. 

The first two books in that series are available in a bargain collection that's currently only 99¢ or free with Kindle Unlimited. Here's the blurb for the first book.

The Sleuth's Miscalculation

Librarian Nancy Daley loves a good mystery and enjoys moonlighting as a consultant for the sheriff's department. When license plates go missing in Tipton County, she's on the case.

Sheriff Deputy Carter Malone expects Tipton, Oregon to be a sleepy small-town, but he miscalculated. To make matters worse, he's forced to consult with the Sheriff's daughter who is only an amateur sleuth. When the minor case they are working morphs into something more, things quickly go from harmless to scary.

Can they solve the mystery before it's too late, and more importantly, what will they do about their growing attraction.

Available at Amazon.

The Journey of a Book Series

If you like to read books in a series, have you ever considered what elements can create a series? Sometimes it can be family. Sometimes a series comes from a location. Other times a series might involve brides, animals, a common cause, or sports, just to name a few. A series might have a combination of these elements.

My Kellersburg series is a combination of family and a town that tie the books together. Eventually my Kellersburg series will have six books. Right now I'm plugging away on book number five, HOMETOWN HERO. How does a series grow? I started with two sisters, Juliane and Elise Keller, who are the heroines of books one and two respectively. The Kellers are the descendants of Kellersburg's founding fathers. In books one and two the reader becomes familiar with Nathan, who is the cousin of Juliane and Elise. He is the hero of book number three. The heroine of book three first appears in book one. Book four is about Nathan's sister, Caroline. Maisey, the heroine of the book I'm working on now, is a friend of Caroline's, and the last book will feature Maisey's brother, Wes. Although I started with the Keller family, the series branched out to friends who live in Kellersburg. 

I don't see the series going beyond six books, but I never know when a secondary character might cry out to have his or her story told. Some authors plan out their series much like they plot their books. I not only write my books by the seat of my pants, but I do the same with my series. I might know the beginning characters of a series, but new characters often appear as I write. 

What kind of a series appeals to you? What elements do you like to read?

Guilt-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte by Cindy Flores Martinez

 

I love pumpkin spice latte, but every year, I buy it only a couple of times. I worry that the ingredients aren’t good for me. That’s why I was thrilled to find recipes for a healthy, guilt-free alternative.

At first, it sounded too good to be true. I didn’t think a guilt-free version of pumpkin spice latte would taste anything like the real thing, but I decided to try it anyway.

After experimenting with the ingredients and making my own adjustments, I was impressed. I settled on a mixture that reminds me of my favorite one from a popular restaurant. The difference is that this version is a little healthier.

Guilt-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee

3/4 cup almond milk

2 TB canned pumpkin puree

2 to 3 TB maple syrup

1/4 vanilla extract

1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Mix all ingredients together in a coffee cup and heat in the microwave.

Enjoy!

I am here to say, (in my most Southern accent), Happy Fall, Y'all!

I am originally from upstate New York, but my family and I relocated to the Carolinas over twenty years ago.   If you've ever visited, you'll soon realize it's hard not to become a little Southern. The hospitality is as sweet as our tea, and everyone is welcome.

Now that Autumn has arrived, porch sitting has become more bearable, and we love nothing more. This past summer in the Carolinas has been hot! But now we can take in the day from a rocker on the porch and catch up with the neighbors.

As the cooler weather arrives and the leaves begin to change, the smell of bonfires fills the evening air. Tourists flock to the area for Fall festivals, such as the State Fairs and the Renaissance Faire. 

Both are such fun events!

Fall is a wonderful time to live in the Carolinas.

Hear! Hear! Audio Books! by Christine Bush

 I’ve been an avid reader for all of my life.  In the early days, I’d always have at least one book stashed in my pocketbook in case “down time” appeared in my day.

On my bed stand, I had the often discussed “to be read” pile of stories by my favorite authors.  At times, I might even be reading more than one at a time.

Then the Kindle appeared on the scene, and in a flash, it was filled with a zillion books, easy to carry around and ready for any occasion.

I come right down the middle in the “kindle vs paper book” discussion.  I’ve decided it’s an “and”.  I like them both.

Reading, reading reading!

But then the pandemic hit, the library temporarily closed, and the zoom phenomena began. For a long time, my life was on screen.  I was writing on line, teaching zoom classes on line, reading those zillion books loaded on the Kindle. I was holding meetings of many types on line, reading college students’ electronically submitted assignments  and papers on line, communicating with friends and family in little zoom boxes…

After a while, it was clear that my eyes were feeling the strain.

Enter Audible books.

It was such a thrill to be able to download some of my favorite author’s stories.  I could sit back, close my eyes, and LISTEN.  And rest my  tired eyes.  What a joy!

So then, I had to learn how to bring my own stories to the audio world.  What an experience! Auditioning readers, hearing my work read out loud, I faced the learning curve. Exciting!

Three novellas are available so far..
