Just from my title you can tell this is a busy week!
First of all, my Christmas collection, All Wrapped Up, was released on November 5 and is currently available on both Smashwords and Amazon. Happy Dancing all around the room. As much for actually having it be published as for getting all the technological stuff right to do it. 🙂 Here’s the blurb for those who haven’t seen snippets:
Like eating romance M&Ms! Four short stories filled with romance at Christmas time: A girl breaks the news to her sister’s boyfriend that he’s being dumped–two days before Christmas; an awkward situation develops when a guy is sent to fire a girl singer; two children discover a secret place on Christmas Day; a Christmas dinner announcement shatters a girl’s dream of a magical social season.
If you’d like excerpts, click on the category Holiday Stories to the right. If you’d like to enter to win a copy, see below!
I’m also excited as release day approaches for my erotic contemporary, Almost Perfect, coming from Decadent Publishing November 25. I’ll be working on different rounds of edits for the next week or so and then on Black Friday it goes live. The perfect way to pass the time standing in line while Christmas shopping!
And don’t forget Jenna’s Journal is one of the stops on the In-Between Days Blog Hop. Eighteen authors from Decadent Publishing with upcoming or recent releases have banded together to strut our stuff during the month of November. My day is this coming Monday, November 14 and I’ll have contests and giveaways for all my books. Today’s author is Jennifer Madden, so click the button to the right and hop over to her blog for a chance to comment and win today.

Jingle Bells is my favorite Christmas song–it reminds me of when I was young. The excitement and magic was incredible. I still love the Holidays and still get excited, but nothing compared to when I was small. I miss it.
I’m going to hold off and see if if I win, LOL, but if I don’t, I’m heading over to Amazon and purchasing ALL WRAPPED UP. Can’t think of a better way to get myself into the Holiday spirit.

I agree, Brenda, some of the excitement has palled since I was young–even since my children were young. I usually have to work right up ’til Christmas, then have to scurry around doing holiday things at the last minute. That takes some of the fun out of it too. But Jingle Bells is so bouncy it does put you into the holiday spirit! Great choice. And good luck on the contest! 🙂
