It's the same old story. Too much going on. Too little time to stop and post ideas, thoughts, and events. I've not only neglected my blog, but Facebook, emails, and my telephone. I'm such a disappointment to myself when it comes to communicating...except for my stories. There is that. So, in the context of communication and announcements, I'm happy to say my next book is ready to be published and I'm waiting only on the proof copy for final review. It's a Christmas novella (everyone must write at least one, right?) based on the classic
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I've twisted it slightly and turned it into a romance. It's called THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. Here's the book description:
George Stone can’t wait for the Christmas season to be
over and his employees, especially his executive assistant, Kathryn Gleason,
focused once again on their work. When a missing report requires George to stop
in at Kathryn’s parents’ home the day before Christmas Eve, he ends up as an
unexpected guest. Between the haunting journals of his late grandfather and the
unsettling dream of an unhappy future, George is swept away by the magic of
Kathryn’s charm and her family’s love.
Will the Spirit of Christmas show George the happiness
he’s missing and will Kathryn’s warmth and beauty melt his cold heart?
Estimated day to go live is January 12th.
