Cover Reveal — Jean C. Gordon



See it here first. I haven't even put it on my website yet. The cover for my January 2018 Love Inspired Romance, A Mom for His Daughter. Love it1 It's the scene I had my fingers crossed the Harlequin art group would choose. What do you think?


A Dad’s Second Chance
Widowed single dad Marc Delacroix doesn’t have time for surprises—especially one like Fiona Bryce. Finding out that she’s the biological aunt of his adopted daughter, Stella, is a big shock. While Fiona’s commitment to the little girl appears to be genuine, Marc wonders if he can truly trust her—or his own heart, which he vowed never to risk again. Fiona’s eager to connect with the sweet young niece she never knew she had, but Marc seems determined to keep her at arm’s length. Could Marc and Fiona’s shared love of Stella be the bond that transforms their fragile connection into a real family?

Secret Telling with the Heroes of Sweet Christmas Kisses

It's time for a little secret telling! Today the heroes of Sweet Christmas Kisses join us to discuss a quality that first attracted them to their heroine. Readers, what qualities do you find attractive in a hero/heroine?
Every comment this week on our blog will earn an entry into a book prize package to be announced on Saturday! Comment every day to increase your chances of winning!

Gentlemen, what is one thing that first attracted you to your heroine? 

Aaron Chase (An Almost Perfect Christmas by Donna Fasano): "As beautiful as Christy Cooper is, I think what first attracted me to her was her selflessness. I've never met anyone so willing to help others. I could tell right away she was much more vulnerable than she was letting on."

Paul Love (Mistletoe in Maine by Ginny Baird): "There's nothing like a woman who can inspire four minutes of chaos in your first five minutes of meeting. I have to say Carol Baker immediately captured my attention: in a very big way."

Sean Fabian (The Army Doctor's Christmas Baby by Helen Scott Taylor): "Kelly didn't throw herself at me. Sounds weird, I know, but so many women come on to me it was nice to meet a beautiful woman who didn't."

Conran Dark (Story Times by Beate Böker): "When she straggled into my home during a storm, I lost my heart to those brown eyes almost immediately."

Jackson Hardaway (The Christmas Promise by Melinda Curtis): "Her bravery. She could have left me in the jungle as snake bait, but she didn't."

Nick Randolph (Christmas in White Oak by Aileen Fish): "We have been friends since we were kids, but I remember one day when I was a senior in high school and she was a junior. We were talking about whatever and she told a funny story. When she laughed, I realized how much I loved that sound. Knowing she was happy made me happy. I just didn’t know at the time how much that meant."

Dr. Tony Lorenzo (Her Christmas Cruise by Mona Risk): "With seraphic blue eyes and a riot of blond strands escaping from a brown, fur-lined hood, she was the prettiest thing he’d seen in a long time. Her delicious mouth rounded in an O of admiration."

Jim Standish (Small Town Christmas by Magdalena Scott): "I was attracted to Melissa Singer because she paid no attention to me. Growing up, she was a good friend of my sisters, Carla and Francie, and treated me and my brother David almost as if we were her own brothers. I always did like a challenge, and Mel has sure been worth it!"

Michael Campbell (By Christmas by Kristin Wallace): “Her eyes. They can be green or blue and they are always flecked with gold. I can get lost in them.”

Dancing with the Sweet Christmas Kisses Stars

Welcome to Dancing with the Stars! Today we're joined by the heroines from the Sweet Christmas Kisses anthology. The heroines will be performing choreographed dance routines with the professional partner of their choice! Readers, enter which pair you're most looking forward to in a comment - you can choose one or all!
**Remember, every comment this week on our blog will earn an entry into a book prize package to be announced on Saturday! Comment every day to increase your chances of winning!

Welcome ladies! We have two questions. The first, which professional dancer would you like to be partnered with? And second, which dance do you look forward to doing?

Christy Cooper (An Almost Perfect Christmas by Donna Fasano): "Oh, I think I'd trip up the world's most skillful dancer with these two left feet of mine; however, I dream of slow dancing to a romantic tune with Aaron Chase."

Kelly Grace (The Army Doctor's Christmas Baby by Helen Scott Taylor): "I have to admit I don't often have time for dancing. Just give me a cute guy who won't stamp on my toes and I'll be happy."

Joanna Damanti (Stormy Times by Beate Böker): "I'm not sure which professional dancer I would want to be partnered with, but something slow would be fun to do. Although, I don't know if anyone can compare to Conan. I love to slow dance with him - Preferably in the living room, without any groupies close by!"

Tiffany Bonander (The Christmas Promise by Melinda Curtis): "Valentin Chmerkovskiy. He's stepping out of his brother's shadow. I'm looking forward to the cha-cha. It's fun to say and it's fast!"

Sofia Suarez (Christmas in White Oak by Aileen Fish): "My first response is to scream Maks! I love watching Maksim Chmerkovskiy move on the dance floor, but he really intimidates me with his teaching methods. I’d probably be happier with Tony Dovolani. I would love to learn to cha cha. The feeling of cutting lose like that must be awesome!"

Julia Dutton (Her Christmas Cruise by Mona Risk): "I’d love to dance with Tony Dovolani. He’s so attractive, tall, dark and sexy. A tango with him would be perfect."

Noelle Robinson (By Christmas by Kristin Wallace): “I would choose Derek. What an amazing dancer. He’s hot, of course, but don’t tell Michael that. I want to break loose with a cha-cha or samba. Most people think I don’t really do sexy, so why not shock people a little?"

Avoiding Writers' Butt!


I sit in front of a computer for many hours every day, both writing and running my business. When I'm concentrating, I also have a habit of dipping into a bag of pistachio or cashew nuts and nibbling away. It's oh so easy to pile on the pounds if I'm not careful and along with that comes aching hips and knees and a bad back.
I've heard of writers trying all types of things to burn calories and keep active while they work, treadmill desks and little cycles under the table. I'm sure these work for some but neither appeal to me.
For me, the ideal way to counteract the physical inactivity is to take regular breaks and go for a walk. The problem is remembering to do so and motivating myself. A few weeks ago I discovered a pedometer called a Fitbit Flex. It's a wrist band that contains a small device that measures the wearer's steps.
My husband is the fitness fanatic in our house, so I surprised us both when I took the plunge and ordered a Flex. The default setting on the device is a daily target of 10,000 steps—the distance recommended by the American Heart Association to stay healthy. I couldn't imagine taking that many steps in a day, but in fact 10,000 steps is only about five miles. (Actual distance walked depends on the length of your steps.)
The Fitbit talks to an app on your cell phone via bluetooth and free software on your computer through a dongle that's included in the box. It's possible to monitor far more than just steps and distance. If you want to go the whole hog and use it to help lose weight, it has a function for monitoring calorie use and comparing that with your daily calorie intake.
I've been wearing my Fitbit on my wrist for two weeks now, and it has motivated me to take regular breaks to walk around our garden so the step count mounts up during the day. Then I usually finish off with a nice long walk with my dog in the afternoon. I imagine it's a lot easier to hit the target if you own a dog! Sometimes I've resorted to walking around the kitchen umpteen times in the evening to rack up the final few hundred steps to hit my target—this totally confuses my cat and dog who think I've gone crazy.
The Flex also has a sleep mode to monitor quality and length of sleep each night. This has been quite an eye-opener for me. I was kidding myself I had around eight hours sleep a night. I've now discovered I manage between six and seven hours most nights. That might explain why I'm tired a lot of the time!
If you find yourself sitting too long at the computer and need motivation to take more exercise, I can tell you the Flex has worked for me far better than I imagined. After two weeks I already feel fitter.
For those of you who have to sit still for long periods of time, how do you stay fit?
