Just Released-Snow Kissed


Today is one of those days Logan Reilly wished he’d stayed in bed. Not only does he have to deal with the annoying Winter Wonderland Carnival but his close friend, that whimsical lover of snow, Holly Armstrong, is leaving town forever. The question is why didn’t she tell him and why today, of all days, does he realize she might be more than a friend?

Holly can nolonger stay in town knowing the man she loves only sees her as a friend. It’s time to move on; besides she has other career prospects.

As the carnival unfolds, watch God work in amazing ways. Can He change Holly’s mind and make her stay? Can He help Logan see beyond the friendship? Only time can tell.

Excerpt:

“Just breathe,” Holly whispered to Logan, as she slowly took in a deep whiff. “You smell that?”

He shook his head. “What? Burgers from down the street?”

“No.” She laughed; he could be so dense sometimes. “It’s the first snowfall.” She inhaled another intoxicating aroma of winter air. “It’s coming.”

“And what’s so good about snow? It’s just annoying and inconvenient.” He pulled his arm away and folded them across his lean frame.

“Snow is beautiful…magical.” Her voice came out breathy with the idea of snow making her feel all tingly.

“It’s cold, wet stuff that falls from the sky.”

“Then there are the wonderful clothes: hats, scarves, gloves…”

“…galoshes, wool socks,” he countered.

She continued, not to be undone by his cynicism. “Fresh baked cookies, hot apple cider, hot cocoa, hot toddies…what is a hot toddy?”

He nearly laughed at her, a cute smile building in the corner of his mouth as he shook his head.

Snow Kissed is now available from White Rose Publishing.

Visions of Fall

Today I took these pictures of my yard in full autumn form. Our house is absolutely canopied by trees. In the summer, that means we stay cooler but in the fall it means we are inundated by leaves. Talk about 'leaf showers.' This first picture is taken from the back deck of the backyard. You can't even see the grass for all the leaf covering.





Here is the back deck-completely covered. An inch or two thick of leaves. We have some definite clearing out to do this weekend. LOL!





These last two shots were taken from the kitchen porch. As you can see, the leaves are so thick that you can't see where the driveway ends and the yard begins. In the further away picture, my flower bed is so covered that it's even with the driveway and has disappeared.

Leaves, Leaves Everywhere! That's what I get for living in a forest. ;)

Happy Fall to All!!
