New releases out:

 

Kira Taye’s His Treasure is now out at Breathless Press

In a time when men ruled their households with firm hands, can a quiet man tame his rebellious wife with persevering love?

Angry at being forced to marry a man not of her choosing, Adaku stubbornly shuns her new husband on their wedding night. However, she soon discovers there are worse things than giving into a man whose touch awakens her deep desires. In a land where fruitfulness is celebrated, she could soon be labeled a barren woman.

Obinna knows there are several ways to tame a rebellious woman. Patience and perseverance are two of them. Adaku is his treasure and he will never let her go. When her fears push her into his arms, will he be able to convince her to stay with him forever by unleashing the passion within her?

Xandra James Reluctant Revenge is now out at Pink Petal Books

 

Nash was bound to Sienna completely – by a blood connection and a deep desire. An Enforcer for the Supranormal community, he was obligated to protect his sexy assignment, despite her family devastating his world.

After being betrayed, Sienna falls into the arms of her surly protector; a demon with a secret of his own. But can she face her destiny knowing she’s more dangerous than those Nash was protecting her from?

Callie Hutton’s A Wife For Christmas is now available at Soul Mate Publishing

Guthrie, Oklahoma, 1906
History teacher Ellie Henderson, has been a thorn in High School Principal Max Colbert’s side ever since he took over three months ago. When she’s not flying by his office, late for her class, with books and papers jumbled in her arms, she’s attending Suffragettes meetings against his orders.
Because of her family connections, Max can’t fire her, but he can certainly find someone to marry her, and keep her busy in the kitchen–and far away from his school. Max soon finds that what seemed like a good idea can turn into disaster when Miss Ellie Henderson is involved. The woman is a master at getting into trouble.
With the Christmas season in full swing, he has many opportunities to introduce her to prospective husbands. However, he gets the uncomfortable feeling that no one is worthy of the minx…

 

Got my bookmarks and I must say they came out wonderful. In case anyone forgot, here’s a pic:

Got them made at IPrint.com. They are inexpensive and do such a fabulous job!!!

 

And my grandson (my monkey ) is doing better. He’s still in NICU, but is now 5lbs 1 oz. And in the next couple of days he will finally be in a regular crib instead of the incubator. Fingers crossed that he is home by Christmas. Here he is:

 

 

And a shout out to all of you who follow me. Thank you.

Reasons To Be Thankful

I figure this is a great way to launch my author’s website: to partake in my Thansgiving early. Not the turkey and the trimmings and the family. Just what I’m thankful for this year. And there is quite a list.

1. For my recovery from the whole gallbladder, stones and pancreatitis from the beginning of the year. That was a rough few weeks. But without my son’s help, it would have been so much worse. Which leads me to the next.

2. Because I was so sick, my son, Aaron, came back from Tennessee to be by my side and help me through all the days at the hospital and especially after coming home.

3. I’m thankful for Savvy Authors hosting May Bootcamp, June Revision Hell and July Pitches. Without that, The Swan Cove Murders would not be completed and published.

4. I’m thankful for all my family’s health. For the most part, they are all doing okay. I have a very large family (I’m the 9th child) plus all the extensions meaning in laws of everyone plus my own. You are talking multitudes here. And all of us are pretty good.

5. For my close friends. Without their support, I’d probably be bald from yanking all my hair out. They keep me sane.

6. For my critique partners (Twinkies!!). They are like family to me and they tell it like it is. That’s exactly what I need at times.

7. For my new writing group, Writers Up and Coming. Even though I haven’t been able to do a whole lot here lately, they still root me on and have some great patience.

8. For my new grandson and his continued health. He is doing better and is gaining weight and is finally drinking from a bottle. Yay!! We are keeping our fingers crossed that he’s home by Christmas.

9. For my family, again. Without their support of my writing, I don’t know that I could push through. Let’s just say I have a HUGE cheerleading squad and they rock!!

10. For my editor who saw something no one else could see in my writing. That little difference, a little twist if you will in mine. And she took a huge chance on me and ran with it full force. She is an awesome editor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone more solid, more understanding, and more there by my side than her. Again thank you Debbie for all you do.

11. For my imagination and the ideas that continue to flow. Without them, well there would be no writing period. I believe we’re all given some type of gift and writing is mine.

12. For my new found friends and fellow authors over at Soul Mate Publishing. I’m so glad to have met you all and how fast we’re growing in our writing together.

13. Thankful for my mother’s continued good health. At 84 she has finally had to slow down. And let’s just say she’s not liking it. The age factor is starting to catch up to her however. So, every day that I call her and can hear her voice is another day that I’m especially thankful for as she is and always will be my absolute best friend.

14. For my new job. It came at the right time as all things usually do. The place is great, the people are awesome and I’m making some decent money so I can catch up on bills and have a good Christmas.

15. For the troops whom have fought and continue to fight for our freedom every day. These are my real heroes.

Okay, I could go on and on with the list, but now it’s your turn. What are you thankful for this year?
