Holiday Reading at Romancing The Genres

Hi, I’m Judith Ashley, author of The Sacred Women’s Circle series, soul nourishing romantic women’s fiction that honors pagan spiritual practices. My stories show you what life could be like if you had a place like The Circle where you are unconditionally accepted, supported and loved. And where, with this support, you do overcome obstacles and find your happily-ever-after.

Once upon a ti…oops!

Once again Romancing The Genres is Celebrating Holiday Romance Authors and Stories. Most of the Genre-istas will be sharing their favorite holiday authors and stories.

I’m stepping a bit outside that box and giving you the Highlights of our award winning Saturday guest bloggers. Yes, every one of our guests is an award winning author! One thing you can always count on at Romancing the Genres is diversity and variety and this month is no different.

Julie Cameron
When you check back tomorrow (November 2) you’ll meet award winning author, Julie Cameron and learn more about her Christmas Story that has been optioned. What does that mean? We may see a movie based on this story in 2020. Julie also has some great tips for writers - period. And Christmas Spirit turned out to be the first of three novels! One never knows what will happen when one takes a leap of faith!

Sue Moorcroft
Don’t miss out on November 9th and Award Winning Author, Sue Moorcroft’s post. Sue has been our November guest a couple of times. This year she’s sharing how publishers use subtle and not so subtle changes in covers to entice readers. I will confess I follow Sue on Facebook and live vicariously through her visits to Malta.


Collette Cameron
Former Genre-ista, and Award Winning Author, ColletteCameron is our guest on the 16th. Collette writes historical romance. Blog Queen Sarah Raplee is scheduling Collette’s post and shared an unexpected and totally unknown fact (to both of us) about the Scots and Christmas. You won’t want to miss learning this tidbit and experience what makes reading Collette’s books an amazing and looked forward to history lesson. In addition Collette talks about four of her holiday themed books with us!


We’ve a Christmas Anthology to celebrate on November 23!

Christmas Wishes will be released on November 13. Fifteen Best Selling and Award Winning authors from around the world, banded together to write and publish this anthology of sweet, semi-sweet and steamy stories.

And there are a couple of former Aussie Genre-istas included! Namely  Susan Horsnell, Margaret Tanner and Cheryl Wright. Enjoy! Christmas Wishes is up on pre-order now!
Roni Denholtz

Last but not least is another award winning author, Roni Denholtz. Roni’s holiday romance is different because it celebrates Hanukkah. Her post will be live on Saturday November 30. You can check out her website as you wait to learn more. Roni's deadline for turning in her post to me is November 10th. Obviously I wasn't thinking ahead!


And, as I was contemplating what to write about this year, I checked my post from last year. I really really liked it so, here’s the link in case you want to refresh your memory. https://romancingthegenres.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-gift-of-christmas.html
Also, you can find all of my books at your favorite e-book vendor. Be sure to ask your local library if you’d prefer to read my books through that resource.

It's been years, Margaret. So glad you were with us though or I'd most likely never have "met" you!

Great post Judith! Enjoyed hearing about all the different genres and Christmas stories.

Sarah Raplee said...

Thanks you for the preview of November's doings at RTG.

Judith Ashley said...

Diana, it was a fun post to put together.

Judith Ashley said...

Sarah, seemed appropriate for November 1st and we had almost every November guest post so it ended up being fairly easy. We do have a nice variety of genres represented.
