Can you believe it’s 2023? I still remember doing the math in grade school to see how old I’d be in 2000. Yeah, I don’t want to talk about that either… But last year was full and almost back to “normal”.

Last year the Unknown Tasks series came out – Baked Goods, Decoding Corruption and Accounting for Evil. There’s more to come hopefully this year. Also, Adah’s Legacy came out – the final in the Conall Clan series. My Collection of Christmas Stories, Vol. 2, including All I Want for Christmas came out. Also the Conall Clan is now available in paperback – two books in each volume.

I’ve got a couple more almost ready to put out for 2023, including Brown Mountain Lights which was originally published in the Hearts of Carolinas Charity Anthology – I’ll do a cover reveal for it and Hearing the Change soon.

On the non-writing side, a lot happened as well. The oldest grandson turned seven and the baby, two. La Daughter finally got her wedding after a two-year Covid delay. I went on the Fall Leaf tour of New England with the girls and got to see states I’ve never gotten to visit before. Had a wonderful time at the HUB selling books, then spent my coldest Christmas ever in Kentucky. Never been in -7-degree weather, much less a -31-degree wind chill, but Santa found us okay!

I’ve also done a lot of counted cross-stitch in the evenings to keep from snacking. Can’t show this years’ ornament because the girls are getting together in January, but here’s some of the others.

Hope 2023 is a wonderful year for all of us and is as productive. I’d love to surpass the launch of All I Want for Christmas – my best yet, thanks to you.  Happy Happy New Year!

Yuletide Kisses: A Medieval Christmas Romance Anthology

Amazon

Grab some hot cocoa and snuggle under the covers this season with four all-new medieval romances by best-selling and award-winning authors Allison Butler, Aurrora St. James, Ria Cantrell, and Nancy Lee Badger. From friends to lovers to a marriage of convenience, hidden identities and his best friend’s sister, you’ll be swept away to the magic of Christmas in Scotland where braw heroes will do anything for the women they’ve come to love.

One of the authors is Nancy Lee Badger. This is her 43^rd book release. Her story in the anthology is titled A GIFT FROM THE SEA.

Nancy Lee Badger grew up in Huntington on New York’s Long Island. After attending Plymouth State, in New Hampshire, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree and met and married her college sweetheart. They raised two handsome sons in Rumney, New Hampshire while she dreamed of being a writer. When the children had left the nest, and shoveling snow became a chore, she retired from her satisfying job as a 911 Emergency Medical Dispatcher and moved to North Carolina, where she writes full-time.

Nancy is a member of Romance Writers of America, Heart of Carolina Romance Writers, Fantasy-Futuristic & Paranormal Romance Writers, and the Triangle Association of Freelancers. She finds story ideas in the most unusual places, especially at Scottish Highland Games. Connect with Nancy: Facebook  Twitter  Goodreads

Didn’t realize I had so many books come out in November – of course, getting ready for Christmas is always a good idea…

Most are Christmas novellas but a couple  – Budapest Fairy Tales and Homecoming are novels that have nothing to do with the season.

Thought I’d let you celebrate with me –  Christmas Business – 2021, Christmas Cookies – 2020, Holiday in Maine – 2019, Working Christmas – 2017, and Christmas with Family – 2015.  The years that are missing either came out in December or October. I’ve put out a Christmas novel or novella since 2013.  Christmas with Family got a new cover for its birthday!  Enjoy!

This year’s Christmas novella is out – All I Want for Christmas and along with it, Volume 2 of my Collection of Christmas Stories.

Noel is not having a great Christmas – after finding her fiance in her bed with another woman, she’s not trusting anything male – they all lie…

Sebastian Michael Scott’s Christmas isn’t any better. He’s supposed to be on a shake down cruise on his new yacht. In addition to the electrical problems, there’s the hung-over soon-to-be ex whining about everything. Why not take his best friend’s advice and grab a ride on that cruise ship? Now if he can keep his identity a secret…

A Collection of Christmas Stories, Volume 1 has a new cover and Volume 2 is now available as well!!

Volume 1 includes – Nowhere for Christmas, Christmas Present, Christmas With Family, Working Christmas, and Moe’s Christmas.

Volume 2 includes – All I Want for Christmas,  Christmas Business,  Christmas Cookies  and two previously unpublished stories – Surviving Christmas, Mountain Christmas
