A December Full of Books
Yes, the 7th Annual Rhode Island Authors Expo is this Saturday! Our biggest event of the year, the Expo features over 120 local authors in all genres - history, romance, mystery, science fiction, children's books. Fabulous raffle items this year, free admission, free parking, and even Santa! If you're in the vicinity, I hope you'll stop by and say hello.
Next up - Martha's big giveaway! My newest novel, All's Well in Jingle Valley, was released earlier this week. It's my 9th novel and my 10th book, and I'm so, so grateful to be doing this thing I love. All's Well in Jingle Valley is actually the third (and final) book in The Happy Ever After series, which includes my 2015 novel A Jingle Valley Wedding and 2018's April in Galway. While I hadn't intended to write a trilogy, when I wrote the ending to April in Galway last year, I decided to weave the story into Jingle Valley. The first book, A Jingle Valley Wedding is discounted at Amazon (ebook) to just 99 cents for the month of December.
