#VOTE #electionday2024
Never before, in my lifetime, has an election been more vital, more important, more necessary than today’s.
Don’t sit this one out, thinking your vote won’t matter.
Don’t sit this one out because you don’t like either candidate.
Don’t sit this one out because you’re undecided.
Don’t sit this one out if you have a wife, a sister, a daughter, granddaughter, aunt, niece, girlfriend.
This election is too important to be an armchair observer to.
Vote, peeps.
Vote.
It’s a BIG day in the DICKENS WORLD!!! 11.4.24
FINALLY!!!
Starting today, the world of A DICKENS HOLIDAY ROMANCE begins its 2024 season.
First off, the presses: DICKENS HOLIDAY OF LIGHTS by award-winning author ( and dear friend!) Judy Kentrus.
Elise Charette’s dream to open a creperie with her husband was crushed when he was tragically killed in a car accident. Needing a fresh start, she moves to Dickens. Her new job is the manager of the Dickens Event Center and Train Depot. She hopes the first annual Holiday of Lights train ride will draw attention to the historic train depot. A number of citizens have been against the idea, claiming the building had no historical recognition, plus the event would draw shoppers from town. There had to be another reason why they’re objecting so strongly to the event, and she’s determined to find out why.
Giles Deluc oversaw the chain of five-star restaurants throughout the country. His business-driven world is shaken when he’s confronted by his brother about a property the company is considering for a new restaurant. Gile’s selfishness resulted in a family losing their dream.
Riddled with guilt, he plans to start over in Dickens and open a small restaurant that specializes in crepes. He’d visited his friends in the quaint town a year ago. He purposely moves next door to Elise Charette and her delightful children but will need a Christmas miracle to get her to forgive him.
And….there’s something fabulous I need to share with you all, too. This year, there is a new and updated version of our cookback. A DICKENS OF A COOKIE 2 is now available in print or ecopy!
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Dickens … the Dickens kitchens that is!
The authors of the Dickens Holiday Romance Series are baking up a storm to make your holiday perfect.
Look for some very special recipes this year, including: French Martina Cookies, Insomnia Sugar Cookies, Krinkle Cut Outs and Chocolate Crinkles. Also, Hanukkah Latkes, Jennie’s Friendship Tarts, Peanut Butter Magic (for you and your four-legged friends), and Aunt Sharon’s Cherry Blossoms. Plus, many, many more.
The series authors wish you and your loved one a joyous holiday season!
My Insomnia Sugar Cookies are there, and I can’t wait for you to try them!!!
If you didn’t get a chance to pre-order Judy’s book, you still get it for the intro price of 99cents in ecopy. After next Monday, 11.11, when the next book releases ( MINE!) her price will go to its regular price, so get on board now!!! Save some pennies and start the season with a heartwarming, wonderful story!

Before you go to bed tonight, if you still have analog clocks in your house ( Like I DO!) turn ’em back and enjoy the extra hour of sleep in the morning.
Of course, if you have pets, that’s not gonna happen because they don’t understand that it’s really not 5 am any more!

#fridayfive 11.1.24
Today, the five reasons why I will NOT be doing NANOWRIMO this year or any other year to come, despite being such a devotee in past years.
- NANOWRIMO sees no problem with people using AI to write, and sees nothing wrong with anyone using it to write a book, presentation, whatever.
- through 5 – see # 1.

2 week countdown!
2 weeks, peeps! That’s how much longer I have to wait to introduce you to Anton “Tony” and Portia.
I’m super excited for you to meet them. He’s a celebrity chef who suffered a great loss during Covid. She’s a literary agent who’s just been through a grueling divorce. Neither one is looking for love – in Tony’s case, he’d probably run form it!
But…this is a Dickens Holiday Romance, so… lol!
You can still preorder the kindle copy for just 99 cents up until 11.18.24, when it shoots up to the regular price of 2.99 (Kindle.) And it will also be on KU for 3 months!
So, get in on the ground floor and great price. Preorder here: ACKC
