Cherime
MacFarlane: Wild in Willow
The Larkin family
plans to celebrate Christmas a little early due to a commitment made by the
oldest son. But things are brewing in the background that may make it Wild in
Willow. Irene Maddox is accompanying her friend Libby to the celebration. Can
the family survive the blow up? Only time will tell.
Meet
Award-Winning, Best-Selling Author Cherime MacFarlane. A prolific multi-genre author, she has a
broad range of interests that reflect her been there-done that life. Romance,
Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Paranormal, all sorts of characters and plots
evolve from a vivid imagination.
I came to Alaska
kicking and screaming in 1975, and I never want to leave. I cut firewood on
shares for money to get through the winter. I swore I would not live above the
Alaska Range because it was too cold there and wound up in the Copper River
Basin where it got just a cold as Fairbanks.
My second husband,
a Scot from Glasgow, was the love of my life. When I write Scots dialect, I
experienced hearing it from my in-laws. Each time my husband got on the phone
to Scotland after five seconds, I could hardly understand a word. I was my
second husband's chief mechanic's helper and roadie.
I live in a cabin
which is slowly being surrounded by the city and wish I were further out. My
two cats and Husky-Collie mix dog are happy in our little slice of heaven
called Alaska. In the
silence of winter dreams of people and places provide a rich pool of ideas to
explore.

Nicole Sorrell:
The Art of Getting Away
Carlos is
head over heels for his sassy girl Andie, and he wants their first Christmas
together to be extra special. A romantic escape to the lake cabin where they
met will be perfect. But Andie's ex-boyfriend interrupts his plans, begging her
to give him a second chance. Carlos suspects the former gang member isn't
telling Andie the truth, and decides he's going to do whatever it takes to keep
her. And if that means fighting dirty...
My first love was
reading. From the
age of ten I read everything I could get my hands on. I was seventeen the first
time I closed a book and thought, I want to do that. Write a story that good.
It took a few years, but I finally published my first novel, joining the ranks
of contemporary fiction authors. I included everything I love in a book. It's a
romance story, has suspense and surprise, and with book two, became a women's
fiction series.
I'm still
a voracious reader, currently residing in a rural area of the mid-west. After
living in various parts of the U.S. and traveling abroad, I recently moved into
the very same home where I grew up. I enjoy country living: ours is a small
community, and everyone knows everybody. The culture of the city also draws me
in: the shopping, dining, and the opera and ballet.
I love
traveling, especially to other countries, and I speak Spanish. I earned a
Bachelor of Arts in Hispanic Literature, and a Bachelor of Science in Fashion
Merchandising. Home decorating is one of my favorite things. Of course I love
to read, and I'm a published poet. I like baking pies and drinking ale. Oh, and
I like playing cornhole, and I spend way more time than I should playing
computer games.
My
sidekick is a tiny Yorkshire terrier named Georgie Doodlebug. I call her GiGi.
She's my fur baby.

Sybil Shae: One
More Day: Surviving the Waves
After the
hurricane Caitlyn's life was in shambles, much like the buildings and the land
around her, everything was destroyed. Her home, her family and her love all
torn apart by a single wave. There was nothing left for her at Luna Beach. She
moved away and spent years struggling to put her life back together. Just when
she is starting to feel a small sense of normalcy, a Christmas Card arrives in
the mail. What it says sets her emotions and her sanity into a whirlwind.
For Love, Real
Love, The Kind Of Love That Lasts Forever….Sybil
Sitting in a
chair, at a desk with headphones on, typing away...That’s where you’ll find
Sybil Shae most days. She loses track of time and reality as she dives into her
romance world, becoming one with her characters and growing with them as they
appear through words on the tablet screen in concert with the imagery of a
fool’s paradise we all visit in our dreams.
Sybil Shae writes
romance, both spicy romance reads and clean reads. She feels it, breathes it,
and has built her world around it. Love is at the center of all things. Welcome
to Sybil’s world.
Sybil Shae DOES
NOT write Erotica by any means, even the Spicy parts aren't as spicy as most
others on the market. She writes with Love as the central plot rather than
adult content.

P.J. MacLayne:
Love on the Dunes
Sunny skies, sandy
beaches, palm trees and swimsuits. It wasn't like any Christmas Carena Galloway
had ever known. She missed her family and worried about her relationship with
her boyfriend, Aiden Wade. A picnic on the beach with friends was just the
thing to distract her from her problems. Meeting a celebrity was a bonus.
But she never counted
on attracting a stalker.
A computer geek by
day and a writer by night, P.J. MacLayne grew up in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania and sets much of her
writing in that landscape. She currently lives in the shadow of the Rocky
Mountains.

Baby Boomer Bash
Baby Boomers ONLY!
No family allowed.
High school
friends Sherry Mattison and Maddy Meriweather refuse to allow their adult
children to ruin their love of Christmas and the family based traditions that
are so near and dear to their hearts. Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch,
they don't decide to cancel this year's Christmas, nor do they harden their
hearts. Instead of presenting their annual plea for an extended family
Christmas like those of the good old days, the baby boomers greet their
families on Thanksgiving Day with a new attitude and a feisty festive spirit
that includes a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner: pot luck!
Their daughters
are shocked but pleased when Christmas plans are not discussed as the family
watches the annual Thanksgiving Day parade. The guys were relieved that dessert
was the focus of football half time and not drawing names for the annual family
Christmas gift exchange.
Sherry Mattison
and Maddy Meriweather kick off their plans for their first annual Baby Boomer
Christmas celebration with a Black Friday shopping spree. And then the
thirty-day count-down begins!
Will the boomers'
plans implode when their families discover their plans for a holiday beach
vacation in the Caribbean?
In my world, there
is no life without writing,
traveling, family, music and my love of politics. My loves and interests are
central to my writing. With this backdrop, regardless of the date or time of
your visit, you will find family.
My world (my
back-story) is guided by my faith and the inspiration I receive from God.
Without exaggeration, family and relationships are the core of every book I
write.
I love to travel
and like me, my characters are always off and running and in so doing require
me to research (and often visit) so many fascinating places.
I also love
music—all kinds and I’m never surprised by what track finds its way to my
personal playlists and a character’s ring tone, door chime, or car radio
station.
People frown
sometimes and don’t understand my love of politics, but I have a political
administration background and thrived on and in my past government career. For
me, it’s the people, the process and what democracy offers. As with life, my
fictional towns and cities include mayors, governors, school board members,
etc.
If you haven’t
guessed, I love my world that allows me to not only live the life I love but to
also share it with others.

Valerie J.
Clarizio: Jess & Sam’s Story
After twenty
years, Jess returns home to care for her ailing mother. Close proximity to the
man she once loved who'd dumped her on the very day she expected a marriage
proposal reawakens her broken heart and strengthens her vow to never put faith
in a man.
By his own choice,
Sam's the most elusive bachelor in town, his walls of defense firmly in place.
But when the feisty little brunette he dated in high school and college moves
back, Sam needs to step up his game, stiffening those walls to concrete. True
love? A forever union? What kind of idiot believes in that?
No matter which
way Sam and Jess turn in their little home town, they run into each other. And stumbling
under the mistletoe isn't what either one needs.
Valerie Clarizio
lives in romantic Door County Wisconsin with her husband and two extremely spoiled cats. She loves to read,
write, and spend time at her cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
She's lived her
life surrounded by men, three brothers, a husband, and a male Siamese cat who required
his own instruction manual. Keeping up with all the men in her life has turned
her into an outdoors enthusiast, of which her favorite activity is hiking in
national parks.
While out on the trails, she has plenty of time to conjure up irresistible
characters and unique storylines for her next romantic suspense or sweet
contemporary romance novel.
