Stuff Your Ereader: Witch Edition

Free books--who doesn't like them? Get them here.

Paranormal romance of all sorts, including the first in Kat Parrish's Ostrander Witches series, Deus Ex Magical. DEM is a short, sweet read (with a tiny little bit of spice) and it was a ton of fun to write. It takes place in Seattle (where I've been) and Martinique (where I'd like to go.) 

I love these "stuff your ereader" events because they feel like going on a shopping binge except there are no credit card purchases to pay off down the road. Instant gratification and more books to read.

All the books have witches in them. Check them out here. 
 

A holiday for one?

 

This is the cover for the story I wrote for the Gingerbread Kisses collection. In the anthology, the story is called "A Holiday for One" becuase my brain kept auto-filling every time I had to fill out a form or turn in the manuscript. In the blurb, the story is credited to Katherine Tomlinson instead of Katherine Moore, my USAT bestselling author alter ego, which is sort of annoying, although the name is correct in the book itself. 

This is the first time I've done "vector" covers for my Christmas stories and I'm pleased with the cover. It's one of a series I've written in a new location--Silver Springs, Colorado. I expect there to be about two dozen stories set in that world. I still love Silver Birch, Washinton, but I wanted to play around in a new location. I'm hoping my readers will fall in love with the new location and the new cast of characters and the new stories I'm telling. They'll all be written around the holidays, beginning with the winter holidays (New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day) and divided by season. I have a special fondness for Halloween and Christmas, so expect a lot of stories set in fall and at the end of the year.

Let the holiday season commence!

Gingerbread Kisses

And what better way to begin than with a Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale on this collection of sweet holiday romances (with gingerbread a common theme because who doesn't like gingerbread?) 

I'm particularly fond of the gingerbread cake form, which I always made with a combination of molasses and honey, which I thought made it especially tasty. And a ton of ginger. Because there is no such thing as too much ginger. My mother always made a lovely, luscious lemon sauce to drizzle over the cake, but I've been known to make cream cheese frosting with bits of crystalized ginger chopped up in it. But it's great plain. 

The story I wrote for this collection is A Holiday For One? It's centered on one of my favorite themes, which is found family. My parents died when I was pretty young and my younger brother, who lives a continent away, is a Grinch. He and my SiL are always traveling to some warm place at Christmas, so I haven't celebrated with him since we were both at the kids' table at our grandmother's. So I've been one of the orphans and strays at friends' tables, and hosted a few holiday parties myself, including one epic one that my neighbors talked about for years!!

Expect more Christnas stories for me as December unrolls. I have two stories in another anthology that's coming up. But for now--Check out Gingerbread Kisses for 99 cents. Get Gingerbread Kisses here.
