Hey First name / y'all,

 

I hope you're enjoying a warm and joyous holiday season! Have you finished your shopping? I confess I have not. I'm taking a break from online shopping long enough to type this newsletter and grab some lunch, then it's right back to pointing and clicking so that things can be delivered--hopefully in time. 

 

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is the parties--I love getting together with family and friends to celebrate the season. Every year, I promise myself I'll find a way to do more of that throughout the year.

Did you see we released the 2026 Lowcountry Book Club Reading List? I so hope you find a new favorite this year!

Speaking of The Lowcountry Book Club, can you believe this is our FIFTH year celebrating That's Christmas to Me? I love reading about your special moments! Thank you for sharing them with us.

 

If y'all are looking for your next holiday read, look no further! I've joined nine wonderful authors in the Winter Wonderland promotion and Lowcountry Bordello is available at the link, along with 15 other holiday reads.

Lowcountry Book Club members... Susan Zurenda and I recently chatted about Lowcountry Bordello. The video will be posted Monday, December 29 at 10:00 am EST. Please share your thoughts in the comments, and remember, there are two door prizes every month for all discussion participants over the course of the month.

 

For those of you who saw there would be Liz Talbot news in this month's newsletter, this is what you've been waiting for! Click the link below. I think you'll enjoy the news.

As for the recipe this month, I can hardly claim it as an original recipe, but it is an easy treat for the holidays. I hope you enjoy it!

 

Wishing you and yours the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years!

Door prize winners receive their choice of any one of The Lowcountry

Book Club's 2025 Books of the Month or a $25 gift card to Susan's store!

 

The door prize drawing will take place on the last day of the month. Prizes must be claimed within one week.

As always, thank you all for reading my newsletters, hanging out with me on social media, reading and sharing my books, and tagging me in all your lovely photos and reviews! I hope you know how much joy you all bring to my life.
