Dear Friends,

This photo of my grandchildren waiting for Papa to bring in the Christmas tree embodies for me the sense of anticipation many of us feel around the holidays. We are looking forward to time with the people we love, delicious, comforting food, and maybe a special gift or two. I hope you receive whatever you are anticipating most this holiday season!

I also want to announce the winner of my November newsletter contest: Katrina said her favorite scent was patchouli, color was green, and genre was mystery. This package will be heading her way soon:

Stay safe and be well my friends. In my next newsletter I’ll report back on my writing retreat with authors Jane Porter, Megan Crane, and Sinclair Jayne. And I’ll give you some scoop on my rodeo romance coming in September 2023.

Cheers and Best Wishes,
