Hi, if you just dropped in for a visit, you’re in luck. Authors are having a party this weekend called the Jingle Bell Hop and you’re invited! Click HERE to connect with our magic sleigh and visit many more author sites. And don’t forget–Saturday night @ 7:00 pm EST, join authors chatting with readers @ Gem’s Place.
A lady with a bruised heart isn’t likely to let down her guard and invite new hurt. Read A Partridge in a Pear Tree and see if Christmas magic and a little strategy can help Gabe win Kate’s true love.
To enjoy the story in Full-Screen View, click on the gray square button–> 
at the right top corner of Calameo.
To go in a drawing for one of my backlist titles, don’t forget to leave a comment below!
