With the publication next month of A CHEF’S KISS CHRISTMAS, I feel I’ve given you guys a lot of teasers, LOL.
But…
What’s one more? Hee hee.
His first thought was to run.
Just pack his meager belongings, jump into the car, and hightail it out of Dickens without a backward glance.
But he couldn’t leave, not now. He’d given his word to Amy Charles and respected her enough to keep it.
And this little snippet sets up the rest of the book!
Tropes: Grumpy/sunshine, smalltown, Holiday romance, Family, surviving loss, Post Covid life, starting over. Life after divorce. Chef. Later in life romance.
So, I can’t believe I’m doing this again after the ego-kicking I got last time ( LOL!) BUT…
I’ve set a kindle copy sale goal for myself for my 11.11.24 release of A CHEF’S KISS CHRISTMAS: 1000 copies preordered.
I know.
But if you don’t shoot for the stars you’ll never reach the heavens, right? So, if you like smalltown,holiday romance, 35+ characters, grumpy/sunshine, starting over, and surviving loss all mixed with humor and that wonderful Dickens Holiday Romance magic…pleasepleaseplease preorder your copy today. The kindle copy is only 99cents. You can’t buy much these days for that, can you?
Just hopping in here today for an extra blog about a few new things ( and some old ones, too!)
First, the preorder link for my May 21st release of LOVE MATCH: Heaven’s Matchmaker ( Book 2) is livelivelive over on Amazon. You can go there, click, and preorder it so you’ll have it on your Kindle on release day. It’s also going to be in KU for the 90-day first period.
Now that you know that, do me a favor and go on over to Goodreads and hit the WANT TO READ BUTTON for me. The more people who do that, the more the book gets visibility.
You don’t need to read book 1 to know what’s going on in book 2. The stories are stand-alones with some of the same characters revolving in and out of Heaven, NH. But, having said that, I’m the type of reader who likes to read series in order, so….
If you don’t want to enter the giveaway you can simply order MIX & MATCH using this Universal link. It’s in wide distribution ( Kobo, Nook, Smashwords, etc) so you have lots of different venues to purchase it.
Last, I’ve also got RETRIBUTION releasing on April 23 on Amazon. I set myself a goal of 1000 preorders for this book and right now I stand at…..18. YIKES!! 2o days left to get 982 readers. Can you help a sistah out? LOL
I’m also selling autographed print copies here, on my website. Just click on this link: RETRIBUTION and I’ll send you one. Shipping and handling are included in the price ( Which is cheaper than amazon’s!)
Less than 24 hours and this little gem will be released into the Holiday book-reading world! I’m excited Really excited!
Still time to preorder and lock in at the 99cents release price. Here ya go: DMWTM
It’s the holiday season in the tiny town of Dickens and pilot Michael Charles is home for his annual visit. His wanderlust has him itching to get back up in the skies as soon as possible, especially since he’s got a full schedule of rich and famous clients waiting to be transported to warm, exotic locales for the winter.
When his heavily pregnant sisters present him with a plan to give their workaholic mother some time off from managing the family diner, he balks. But one look at how tired the woman who took him into her home and heart is, and Michael agrees to run Dorrit’s Diner for a month so Amy Charles can get some well-deserved rest.
He’ll be back in the skies by the New Year.
The diner staff functions like a well-oiled machine, most of them long-term employees. The exception is new waitress Julia Maryland. The beautiful blonde has a past filled with heartache, a charming six-year-old daughter, and a smile Michael could spend the day getting lost in. But starting a relationship with her wouldn’t be wise because his visit is temporary and Julia seems like a permanent kind of girl.
When a family emergency requires him to rethink and reassess his life, Michael wonders if it’s time he becomes a permanent kind of man.
I know I’ve kinda been obnoxious with posting about the release date for this one, but I just love this book so so so much and I want as many people as possible to get to enjoy it, too!
This is the first book I’ve ever written that’s entirely from the hero’s Point of View. Yup. All you hear are the thoughts from Michael’s mind. His interpretations, his feelings, and the way he thinks things through.
Writing this book was a heavy exercise in thinking and doing outside my comfortable box and level, and I am so happy with the way Michael’s story unfolded. While I may not write solely from the male perspective again – or at least for a while – I think being in his head for the entire book gave me a good indication on male thought patterns and how they process information.
Or at least I hope it did!! The readers will be the judge of that, I guess.
If you haven’t preordered yet, now’s your chance: DMWTM
