As promised over a week ago, I am revealing the cover for my collection of Christmas short stories, now called All Wrapped Up. I’m very proud of this cover, a true collaboration with graphic design artist Alexandra Christle, and have been champing at the bit to show it off. We had some technical problems neither of us foresaw, but they have been resolved so now, without further ado, please take a look at All Wrapped Up.
I’m putting the finishing touches on the four short stories and getting ready to upload them to Smashwords sometime this week. For those of you who haven’t seen the excerpts of the stories I posted on Sweet Saturday Sample during October, here are their titles and blurbs:
The Present
When Tess has to break the news to her sister’s boyfriend that he’s being dumped–on Christmas Eve– she finds herself a pawn for the boyfriend’s revenge.
Sing A Christmas Carol
A singing group’s decision to drop one member before the big carolling competition leads to an awkward situation when the guy sent to fire the girl falls for her instead.
The Kissing Tree
Two children discover a secret place on Christmas Day–with far-reaching effects.
‘Tis the Season
A Christmas dinner announcement shatters a young girl’s dream of a magical social season until a knight in shining armour proposes an alternate plan that will allow her dream to come true.
I’ll keep you faithful readers informed when the collection will be released, hopefully in a week or two, and let you know all about the fascinating world of self-publishing! Until then, have a great week and Happy November!





































The cover is just right – just bright enough without being overdone – best of luck with those!
