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.
