Happy Saturday, Friends!
I hope you’re out somewhere soaking in the sunshine, whether that be in the northern or southern hemisphere. I know my American friends are probably gearing up for some 4th of July fun; however, I wanted to talk Christmas in July. I can’t help myself, I have lots of Christmas novellas to help me celebrate the season. :)
Today, though, I wanted to drop you into the world of my Lewis Family Series. It takes place in Washington, D.C and one of my few series that isn’t set in a fictional place. The series follows five siblings all named with Christmas in mine thanks to a mother who loves all things Christmas.
In book one, I’ll Be Home, the baby of the family travels back home, unemployed and feeling unworthy of the Lewis name. Starr also gets to return to D.C. in time to see her sister, Angel, marry her ex-boyfriend.
In this book you’ll get a sweet romance between Starr and her brother’s best friend. Christmas activities. Secondary characters aka the other Lewis siblings. And fun galore!
I really enjoyed writing this novella and it made sense that the next story would be Angel’s.
In book two, All I Want, Angel takes a journey of redemption and reform. She’s tasked to redecorate her boss’s friend’s house. Bishop is a little on the surly side but his wonderful daughter, Marvel, keeps things entertaining.
This book is single dad romance. Christmas galore complete with tree picking. Secondary characters (again the Lewis siblings). And lots more fun!
This year I’ll be writing book three. I’ve had different readers suggest which Lewis sibling I should write next. There’s one more sister left (Eve) and two brothers (Noel and Gabe). I have an idea of who is next thanks to the ladies of StoryChats at InspyRomance sparking my imagination. Now I just have to make time to write the story and hope the fans like who I choose.
What about you? If you’ve read books one and two, which Lewis sibling are you looking forward to reading next? Do you have any title suggestions for the rest of the series? If you haven’t figured it out, I’m doing three-word titles from Christmas songs.
Oh and before I forget (which I almost did), both books are 99¢ on ebook until the 7th. Be sure to grab your copy today!

its is really cold here today. But I guess thats more what Christmas is in the Northern Hemisphere. The books sound interesting and Having been to Washington DC (albeit didn’t see a lot of it) it is nice to read books where I know a little bit about. am about to buy the first two as they sound interesting.
I got started backwards when I read All I Want when it came out as part of the Hearts Aglow collection. I have I’ll Be Home in the TBR pile but haven’t gotten to it yet. :-(
I don’t have any good ideas for who to write next but here are some title ideas:
Eve – either “All Is Bright” or “A Midnight Clear”
Gabe – “All Ye Faithful” or “On the Mountain”
Noel – “Sing We All” or “Cold Winter’s Night”
Thanks for the Lewis family. Have a great 4th!
Hi Toni. Cute holiday covers and fun titles. With the carol theme and using I in the title maybe – I Saw ______ or I Heard ________. Several Christmas carols use those. Just an idea. Haven’t met the Lewis family yet. We have cooler temperatures in Michigan. Sunshine and clear after 7 days of rain. Enjoy your weekend.
Have a wonderful Christmas in July Toni! Haven’t met the Lewis’s yet. I usually wait until the series is complete and then I can read the whole series together. The only title that comes to mind is Christmas Eve Delight. Happy writing!
Both your books sound like very good reads, I love Everything Christmas! I am always ready for Christmas. Thank you for sharing about your very good sounding books, the book covers are also beautiful! Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Thank you! I hope you stay warm today.
I love these title suggestions. Thank you!
Great idea Renate! Today’s weather seems pretty perfect (almost 80). Happy 4th!
Thanks, Dianne!
You too!
I’ve not yet met the Lewis family but they sound like ones not to be missed!
It’s clever to use 3 words from songs. Very relatable.
Thanks!
I hope you get a chance to read them!
I have not read these two books, but they sound fabulous. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
Not much sunshine today, but I read Christmas books all year long.
What I hear
Did you know?
Love Came Down
All my Heart

Blessings to you too!
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the suggestions!!
