The shopping is all done (finally!), the gifts are bought and wrapped, and Christmas cookies have been baked. I’m ready to PARTY!
It’s been a wonderful year for me, with Awaiting the Moon, my first Berkley Sensation, coming out February 7th and becoming a national bestseller, and then Awaiting the Night, released in November. I feel so very fortunate and blessed… truly blessed in every way! And now Christmas is here, and 2007 is knocking on the door.
Though there is much I enjoy about the season, I’m a fairly solitary person. Sometimes I find the social commitments and shopping and cooking and wrapping overwhelming. When that happens, a break with a cup of tea and a good book is just what I need… a few minutes – or hours – of peace on earth.
So I always make sure to have a couple of books on hand, just so that in my mind, at least, I can get away from it all. That’s my holiday wish for you all… a few minutes or hours or days curled up in your favorite spot with a cup of your favorite steaming beverage and a book… or a stack of books! That’s true luxury, a tall stack of books from which to choose, like bonbons in a box.
Sooooo… I’d like to offer a little giftie. I will choose ONE reader at random from everyone who comments on this blog entry before midnight December 26th to win a copy of each of my 2006 releases, Awaiting the Moon and Awaiting the Night. (If you want to comment, but not enter, just say so!)
Happy Holidays, everyone, and I’m sending out warmest wishes for a safe, prosperous, healthy and happy 2007!
Congratualtions on your success this year. I hope you and everyone else has a happy Christmas.

Hey, Melissa…
As entry #7, you are the book winner! Congrats! Email me your snail mail address.
I am getting the snowflake necklace, but just a leetle bit late… some time next week. But I guess I hinted strongly enough.
Hope everyone had a fun Christmas. Our household got flu/cold as a gift!
