Greetings to everyone at this holiday time. It’s been a crazy year for me. There was more travel, more ghost investigating, more appearances at conventions. In other words, a return to as normal-as-possible. I still wore a mask, got booster shots, and even made it on a vacation to England during the summer to visit my in-laws. So to celebrate a somewhat return to a new normal, I’m offering two of my titles for free in the Smashwords store for their End of Year Sale.

There is a whole separate area to catch the end of year deals on Smashwords. It’s a great way to fill a new ereader just received for the Holidays and discover new authors. I’ve provided direct links to my books below.

“Love In One Act”

Elizabeth Bonicetti, a Victorian London actress, is propositioned by a young man, Mr. Lionel Conner, to be his first, and to teach him the finer points of love to be ready for his new wife. Trying to not let her feelings get in the way, she is determined to teach the “lessons” without becoming attached. But she can’t help but fall for the young Airship captain. Determined to keep their relationship temporary, she continues with the “lessons” until their final consummation in which he reveals his secret. Can she still except him after this revelation? Or will she reject him for the secret he refuses to reveal.

Plus, I’ve listed the first novella in my famous Beware of Warlocks series, “Never Marry A Warlock” for free for just the last week of 2022. Start the new year with a dive into the paranormal underground of Las Vegas.

“Never Marry A Warlock”

Never Marry A Warlock (A Beware of Warlocks Novelette #1)

Catherine walks in on her husband in bed with her best friend. What is a woman to do? It helps that she is a witch. Unfortunately, so is her husband. Before you can say spell battle, Catherine high tails it up the coast of California to clear her head. Lucky for her, she finds an Aussie hitchhiker. Together, she can eventually face her husband in the awaiting spell battle. Can she have a little fun with her new fond boy toy, or will he get scorched in the foreplay?

**NOTE: All deals end on Jan. 1, 2023!

Plus, if you’d like something even a bit hotter and with a Holiday theme, my co-author in the “Thankful in Vegas” series, Lynda Belle, has a deal for one of her shorts. The link is below.

“I’ll Be Home For Christmas”

Theresa had decided to stay home for Christmas.

Who needed the family stress? She was going to be the tough, singleton on her own.

Then, he called.

Nick was home for the Holidays too. Why not get together for a little Christmas cheer? Turkey and cranberry sauce always tastes better when two are sharing a meal together. Or when it’s shared on each other. Theresa gets the best gift a girl could want. A man that wants her on Christmas Eve, and she can’t get enough. Nick unwraps her slowly, giving her something Santa never could.

Start off 2023 right with some awesome steamy romantic reads! My gift for you this New Year’s and Holiday Season. Here’s to another year of returning back to normal. I’ll see you there.
