Heading into 2023...and a drawing for a free book! Roxanne Rustand

Did you all have a good Christmas? For us, it passed far too quickly.  

We went up to Wisconsin to visit our son and his family for a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. As much as I loved every moment of being with them, I never quite caught up with decorating, baking, or Christmas cards once we got home.

The weather sweeping across the country threw us for a loop as well, with snow, 40-50 mph winds, and bitter windchills that kept relatives from traveling down for Christmas. We even ended up watching our Christmas Eve service online.

I do love winter, but now I am looking forward to spring!  How about you?

Did you make any resolutions for 2022? How did you fare with the ones you made last year?  

I admit to being a habitual resolution failure. But here I am in 2023, once again feeling optimistic about achieving my goals.

I am determined  to continue downsizing and send even more to the local Olivet Mission and Salvation Army.  We have no plans to move, but we've accumulated too much stuff!  The book "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" has inspired me.  Also, I plan to go to the YMCA at least once a week, and read through the entire Bible.

What are your resolutions for 2023?

If you are looking for  something to read during these long, dark winter days, how about COLLATERAL DANGER?  It's the third and final book in my Wyoming Danger series. It's free if you are enrolled in Amazon's Kindle Unlimited,  or just $3.99 for those who aren't.

Anyone who leaves a comment on this blog will be entered in a drawing for one free e-book--any title in this Wyoming Danger series, or my previous series, Montana Secrets.

Best wishes to you all!

A New Christmas Book Release from Kimberly Rose Johnson

 

The very first book I ever had contracted with a publisher was a Christmas book. That was back in 2012 and it released in 2013. I've had a Christmas book release every year since. It has become a tradition that I really enjoy.

Do you enjoy Christmas books?

Found: An Almost Perfect Christmas is a romantic suspense set in rural Montana. My new home state was the inspiration for the setting. Ironically, after I wrote this story, I ended up taking a job at the local school. This school is very small. There are no more than 80 students in pre-K through 8th grade. 

Here's the back cover blurb for the book. 

When a young boy’s life is threatened, his dad will do anything to keep him safe, including eliciting the help of his single and beautiful school teacher.

One of Hope Creek, Montana’s most desired single men has his hands full this Christmas with a new puppy litter, work, and a rambunctious young son. Now, someone has threatened to harm his son if he doesn’t reveal the location of a mystery woman.

Second grade teacher, Bethany Evans, loves her job, but she wants more. Could Toby and his dad hold the key to making this Christmas extra special, or will the trouble they are facing not only ruin Christmas but destroy their lives in the process?

From Selah award winning author, a Christian romance novella with a touch of mystery and suspense.

For the month of December you can pick up this book for 99¢. The price will go up in January. It is also available to read free with Kindle Unlimited.
