What a great month it's been! So much to be thankful for and one of those things is that I have a new book that came out on November 13th. Yay! Wrapped Up in Christmas Faith is the latest story in my Wrapped Up in Christmas series. Each book is stand alone, but best read in order. I absolutely love writing this series because it embodies so many things that I adore--small town, falling in love, veterans, humor, Christmas. Sigh. Just saying those things makes me smile. In Wrapped Up in Christmas Faith, Maggie is a veteran who has been knocked off her feet, but is ready to not just get back up, but to run toward the life she wants back. If that means she has to go to a Halloween party dressed as a fairy tale princess when she's more comfortable in a military uniform, then she'll don those borrowed glass slippers. Little did she know that she'd meet her Prince Charming and have her life take off in a completely unexpected direction that she'd ever envisioned or thought she wanted.Here's a short snippet:
"I need to see your foot, Princess."
Maggie had moved from the porch to the yard, taking up residence on a garden bench with a view of the back side of the house where most were gathered to watch the partygoers. Sitting in her gown hadn't been easy. After making sure the bench was clean, she'd tucked the full, gauzy skirt to the side.
Even before her gaze collided with golden brown honey that twinkled with merriment that couldn't be missed even in the dim light, she knew who had sought her out. She'd always had good awareness of what was around her. Never quite to this level, though, because she'd felt him coming toward her. She wasn't surprised he had. There had been something in the way he'd looked at her that she'd known their paths would cross before the night ended.
She'd even played over what she'd say to him when it happened. The cad.
So, the story does have a Halloween party early on, but it is a CHRISTMAS story, I promise. :) Just having Maggie and Walker meet while dressed in borrowed matchings costumes made for such a great cute meet because being dressed that way was so out of Maggie's comfort zone.
Do you like holiday books that cover enough of a timespan that it incorporates snippets of more than one holiday? Or do you prefer your holiday stories to focus on just one special occasion during a short time frame
