Here's a little blurb about one of my books to get us started on this snowy adventure:

Lord Jeremy North's curse is to become a werewolf during every full moon, turning into a bloodthirsty monster that kills with no remorse. When he finds a woman nearly frozen upon his doorstep, his sense of honor compels him to help her, even at the risk he might kill her himself.

Lillian Merriweather hadn't planned to get caught in a blizzard while traveling the English countryside. Nor had she planned on finding refuge in a house full of secrets. But Lillian has secrets of her own. And what she's running from is not far behind...

A cozy fire lit in the fireplace, a mug of steaming hot chocolate loaded with marshmallows, the soft sound of music playing in the background, and a good book to escape within the pages while the winter blizzard's rage outside. Such a pretty picture! Well, it's mostly true. I don't have a fireplace, so I substitute that with scented candles. And sometimes it's snowing, sometimes dreary rain, or sometimes its nice and sunny, but cold. Eh, the weather is optional. All the rest is just about right though. Especially, the good book part!

Every year I buy books for my family and friends for Christmas. It's one of the best gifts that I can give, although I know not everyone appreciates books quite as much as I do. Being a book lover, I'm also eager to see what sort of literary adventure Santa has placed under the Christmas tree for me each year.

You'd think that family and friends would know what a writer wants!

My husband takes the easy road. Gift cards! Amazon, B&N. Love 'em. My brother was a darling one year and gave me a whole stack of notebooks and folders. I used every one of them! The rest of my family can't understand my obsession for books. Or perhaps they're intimidated by my growing collection. My grandmother has told me she won't give books because she doesn't know what I'll like. But, I like anything!

I love trying new authors. It's exciting to see what new gem you'll discover! After all, I would never have discovered my love for the Dark-Hunters if I hadn't stumbled upon Sherrilyn Kenyon's Fantasy Lover (I know, technically not a Dark-Hunter, but they're connected and got me hooked) or Katie Macalister's zany characters if I'd never read Improper English. Trying new-to-me authors is one of the joys of reading.

Contest:

So I ask you, dear reader, what special book would you have Santa deliver this Christmas? Do you have a reading list on your Christmas wish list? Is there a new author you'd like to try? A new book from a favorite series that you just can't wait to read? Share your Christmas wishes with me!

Follow this blog and leave a comment with your email address and you will be entered to win one of the two following:

First Prize: A $5.00 Amazon Gift Card

Second Prize: A copy of One Candlit Christmas, an anthology containing stories from Julia Justiss, Annie Burrows, and Terri Brisbin. (While organizing my bookshelves I found that I bought 2 of these one year, so I thought this unread copy will make a nice prize for Christmas!)

The winner will be selected on December 20th using random.org and will be notified via email.

Also, be sure to visit me on Facebook, Twitter, and GoodReads where I post information about my current and upcoming releases! If you'd like to purchase my books visit my publisher The Wild Rose Press or Amazon.
