Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?

"White Christmas" are words that take us to a reverent place, stirring up carols and memories we might forget the rest of the year.  Snow frosting tree limbs calls up childhood memories when I wished for snow on Christmas Eve.  Why?  Because that pristine white conveyed the message that something awesome was about to happen.  Family lived close and snow simply meant putting chains on the tires to get where we wanted to go.  Snow meant that maybe after dinner on Christmas Day my cousins and I could build a snowman.

Moving forward a bit, I wished for a little snow on Christmas Eve but not much because my parents wouldn't be able to drive to our house to watch our son open his presents or listen to him chatter about Santa eating the cookies he left out for St. Nick.  White Christmas evokes recollections of Christmas concerts, carol sings and midnight Mass, watching the last scene in the movie when the generals' men stand to acknowledge him, when the romances end the way they were meant to.

Wishing you all a white Christmas and the memories that make it special.

Please share your "White Christmas" memories and have a wonderful holiday.

In addition to the prizes listed above, I will be giving away a $15 Amazon gift card and a set of note cards.  I will draw the winner from the comments on my blog.

What is "heat" in a book?  Does it mean explicit love scenes?  Or does it mean the tension and level of emotional intensity that heat up the novel and your emotion as a reader?

ALWAYS DEVOTED has many levels of heat.  There is sexual chemistry that invades each of Emma's and Linc's encounters.  Emma doesn't feel Linc is in her league because he's CEO of a mega media company.  He had power.  She has none.  Then there is the emotional tension between Emma and anyone searching for her sister Tina.  Her longing to find Tina invades all of her interchanges with other characters, as well as her own thoughts that rev up encounters between her and Linc.  All of the tension cyclones into a night of intense lovemaking between Emma and Linc right before the mystery of her missing sister is solved.

In addition to the prizes listed above, I will be giving away a print copy of ALWAYS HER COWBOY.  I will draw the winner from the comments on my blog.
Also, there weill be daily giveaways.  See teh schedule below.
