December is around the corner and with it comes some amazing
reads from some of your favorite authors. It’s a time for feel good stories and true
holiday miracles.
December is also one of my most favorite months. It’s a
month of parties, giving, receiving and forgiving. Love is in the air. Caring is sharing!
When I blogged two weeks ago, I gave you a preview of some
of the holiday projects I’ve been working on. As
promised, I’ve returned to tell you more.
Last year, author Bettye Griffin and I put our heads
together to come up with The Holiday Sparkle series; 4 novellas that all center
around the magic of a rented red dress. At the time we had no idea how well
received these novellas would be.
The first novella released at Thanksgiving was Bettye
Griffin’s Love on Lakeshore Drive, followed by my Naughty in New York. Bettye’s
Holiday in Houston followed, and the series concluded with my Loose in Las Vegas.
These red dress stories took place over the holiday season, starting with a Thanksgiving
wedding and ending with a New Year’s Eve bash in Las Vegas. Our heroines find
love wearing a memorable red dress.
Keeping with this trend, in 2017 we bring you Rockin’ the
Rockies set in both Aspen and Denver, and told from two points of view.
Heroines Sari Saunders and Bethany Gill attend a fundraising
event in Aspen with their respective dates. Both women are wearing almost the
same red dress. Livingston Cox, Sari’s date,
is the heir to L&L Markets; a chain of grocery stores in the Denver area. Dante Martinez
is the manager of one of Livingston’s most successful stores. He’s surprised to
run into Sari, his twins’ nursery school teacher, and he’s even more surprised
to discover how attracted he is to her. Now
Dante has plans, and those plans include Sari and his own store.
Livingston from the moment he sets eyes on beautiful Bethany
wants her as his own. And so, the two
switch dates. Will the red dress
weave its usual magic?
Rockin’ the Rockies will be available on Amazon and Barnes
and Noble in a few weeks. We’d be ever so grateful if you’d pick up a copy and
give us a review.
Next up this holiday season is By Design, my collaboration
with New Times Bestseller, Sandra Kitt. Our story, set in the historical city of
Philadelphia, has at its center Elle Stanford; a marketing executive who loses
her job. To get through the holiday season she takes a position as a sales associate
at H. E. Caldwell's; Philadelphia’s only black owned store; a store currently up for
sale.
Elle runs into Miles Bradshaw for a second time, (a man she hooked up with years ago), at the store shopping for a gift for his son, and the romance is on. Can Elle and her innovative marketing ideas save H. E. Caldwell’s? Is Miles Bradshaw the upstanding man he purports to be? Will this holiday season be the best one ever?
Readers of Romancing the Genres Blog are the first to see to
the cover of By Design. This full-length novel will be available on
Amazon and Barnes and Noble in both eform and in print.
Everyone loves a good holiday story and we hope we delivered.

Love the "By Design" Cover - so elegant! Thanks for bringing us more stories to read!!!
Thanks Judith. I was a bit worried about the By Design Cover. I wanted an elegant look but got feedback from another author the cover did nothing for her.
