When you think of getting all cozy for a reading binge, what do you picture? Here it is for me: • Snow falling softly outside the windows • A fire in the fireplace • Flannel jammies and fuzzy socks • A cozy quilt • A mug of something hot (mocha? tea? hot chocolate?) • A […]
Have a Blessed Christmas! (#ChristmasEve)
Tomorrow is Christmas Day around the world. I am honored and humbled to be the one posting a blog post today on InspyRomance. Little me! What should I write about? Let me count the many ways that I can say “Have a blessed Christmas!” For sure, Christians are really blessed. To begin with, God didn’t […]
This Christmas
This year Christmas is not what I’d envisioned it to be in any way. We had our floors done in laminate, replacing the most awful pink carpet we’d had since we moved in twenty-odd years ago.

Destination Christmases
Do you travel for Christmas? It’s been years since my crew has been away from home on Christmas. We have a lot of family we’re close to, which used to mean a lot of obligations over the holidays. As much as we loved everyone, it was exhausting. My husband and I decided early on that […]

I’m a sucker for anything cozy. Crackling fireplaces, a steaming mug of coffee, or snuggling under a blanket when the temperature outside falls. Add a good book set at Christmas time and you’ve got yourself just about the perfect combination! I had the pleasure of joining together with three other CCR authors to bring readers […]
That’s Going in a Book #Giveaway
