About Nobody's Cinderella
Darcy is in love with her boss, but she's not even a blip on his radar.
Until her BFF decides to give her a makeover. Then Chase notices. Oh, boy. Does he!
All it took was some makeup, some clothes, and a couple of little lies. Okay, maybe they weren't so little, but it was all for a good cause.Or was it Darcy's wish on a Christmas star that changed everything? Maybe she should have been careful what she wished for!
Nobody's Cinderella is a Kindle Unlimited Free Read, or buy it and keep it forever.
10 Things I Love About Christmas
1. Christmas songs playing in the stores. (Don't hate me, but I'm one of those who actually likes that and hums along.)

| Listen to me sing JINGLE BELLS on YouTube |
3. I love decorating my house and yard with Christmas music playing in the background.
4. I love driving through the neighborhoods and looking at all the colored lights and decorations. (I'm trolling for future decorating ideas too.)
5. I love shopping for presents and finding the perfect ones for those I love.
6. I love eating the special foods that are cooked only during the holidays. (Pralines, Texas Trash, Fresh Orange and Cranberry Relish, Chocolate Bon Bons, and, unfortunately, much more!)
7. I love going to church for candlelight services on Christmas Eve.
8. I love gathering the family and friends together.
9. I love Hallmark Christmas movies!
10. I love Holiday Romance Novels.
I have a new Christmas short story that will publish in a couple of days. I think the cover is sassy and sexy and will catch the readers' eyes. What do you think of it?
Stuck on the Naughty List is only 99cents. Here's a little blurb.
A year ago, Cassie left Ben, the man she loved, so he could have the life he’d been groomed for since birth.
When she returns to Capitola, Texas, her small home town, for Christmas, she’s arrested on a trumped-up charge and taken downtown.
Could the new Chief of Police be the perfect man to mend her broken heart?

Awesome, I like being hit by snow storms, how about you?
ReplyDeleteI lived in South Dakota for a year. I paid my dues when it comes to snow!
DeleteJoan, I love the same things about Christmas. But what is Texas Trash on your food list?
ReplyDeleteTexas Trash is my version of Chex Mix. It's tons of pecans, peanuts, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, Tabasco Sauce or Cholula Hot Sauce (or both if you really like it hot), Tony Chachere's Seasoning, and olive oil. You might need a fire extinguisher if you're not accustomed to spicy.
DeleteWelcome, December. I like the things on that list, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz. I'm catching up on reading November posts and just read yours. Loved it of course.
DeleteGreat kick off post, Joan. I love most of the same things as well. I'm fortunate enough to live close to all of my grandchildren so probably the thing I like best are Christmas morning cuddles with the kids!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy. All our kids are scattered across Texas. Sure is hard to get them all together. You're lucky.
DeleteThe Christmas season is always a great one!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.
DeleteChristmas traditions and decorations definitely brighten the dark days of December.
ReplyDeleteI guess we're lucky in Texas. We don't have as many dark days in December as you. On the other hand, it may be easier for you to feel that it's Christmas when it's cold and dark. I guess it balances out.
DeleteLove your list! We make a lot of food as well. My favorite tradition is Christmas Feast. We make a bunch of finger foods and decorate the house and listen to music. It's the best day of the year.
ReplyDeleteNobody's Cinderella sounds very cute! I love the cover and the title. It sounds like the perfect story to start this season.
I like the idea of Christmas Feast. We do pretty much the same but never had a title for it. I may adopt yours. *g*
DeleteI love the cover! I can't wait to read this one.
ReplyDeleteWe put up our tree in November LOL Love Christmas and I want it to last longer than it does.
We bought some new furniture a few months ago and had to rearrange the living room. Now the spot where the Christmas tree goes is taken up by the grandfather clock. I now have the problem of finding a new spot for the tree. *LOL*
DeleteThis one looks great! Thanks for the chance to win it.

DeleteCongratulations, Martha! You are the winner. Check your email for an Amazon Gift of NOBODY'S CINDERELLA.
DeleteYour list is great. I haven’t made Texas Trash in several years but I can’t I imagine why. We love it. I alter it with only Rice Chex because one daughter is celiac.
ReplyDeleteI mix it up in my big turkey roasting pan. It's usually the first thing the kids ask when December rolls around, "Have you made Texas Trash yet?"
Deletefun list

DeleteI love your list of things you love about Christmas. Mine is very similar.
ReplyDeleteWe're sisters then!
DeleteOh I miss Texas Trash. My mom used to make it for us at Christmas time. I will have to look for her recipe. Loved the article. clarkws at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can get a post up with my recipe. Thanks for entering my giveaway.
