Putting the HO(T) in HOLIDAY, One Ho-ho-ho at a time.


Every year, I try to do something fun for my readers around the holidays. This year, I came up with the idea of releasing a different winter-and/or-holiday-themed story every Sunday in December. 




 

As you might notice, the last Sunday is still blank. I have a few possibilities, but I’d love to hear what readers think. Right now I’m debating whether to release a Steampunk Christmas story (that’s a sequel to my other Steampunk Christmas story, This Winter Heart) or a vampire-werewolf/shifter romance that’s actually going to be a spin off to my Children of Night vampire series.

 

Comment below and let me know what you think!

Today's release is called Christmasing With You. This book has a VERY long history—longer than the actual book, I think. It originated as a very short story that I wrote for an “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party” that was being put on by the Nine Naughty Novelists--yes, THAT LONG ago. The story I wrote for the party was one that featured Mike and Claire from my  LA Love Lessons book, Let Me Count the Ways and was called,Counting on Christmas


By the way, you can still find that short-short story in the Holiday Freebies section on my website. It’s only two scenes, and I  always thought it would be fun to revisit it; to make it longer, to maybe explore how the weekend actually turned out for the characters. Did it live up to their expectations?  Were all their fantasies fulfilled?

 

I finally got the chance to satisfy my curiosity when I signed up to take part in the Holiday Anthology, Let’s Get Naughty, which released in 2022.

 

This is the story that earned me my USA TODAY Bestselling Author cred. 

 

It’s being released this year (in a very slightly expanded version) as part of the “Snowed In & Spiteful” marketing project, which brings together authors from various genres who are all writing snowed-in Romance stories featuring the forced proximity trope.

The sweater was just the beginning

 

​Mike's been a very good boy this year and Santa Claire has the perfect present picked out for him—one that's both naughty and nice!

 

One more disaster could be the end

 

Mike and Claire were hoping their first Christmas together would be unforgettable. But when their sexy, adult-film-themed weekend abruptly veers into low-budget, chiller-diller territory, they’re left to worry that this Christmas will turn out to be memorable in all the worst ways.

 

An isolated cabin, a winter storm, a hungry cougar—what could possibly go wrong? In a word: everything!
