Here in Canada, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which means this is a long weekend for a lot of workers. For a change, there will be no family dinner of 20+ at my sister’s house; I think she will have 5 around her table this Covid year. For the first time ever, one of my grown sons is hosting Steel and I. He lives on a small island, so his siblings and I, with our partners, will take a ferry and overnight bags.
Do you enjoy it when
romance characters celebrate a birthday or national holiday? Or does it pull
you from the story?
Like my heroine, Holly, I received a
hard cover copy of The Story of Holly and Ivy one Christmas when I was young. That book got passed through the family,
first to my siblings, then to my own children, where we read it aloud as a
family every Christmas, and often still do.
Everyone in the family now has their
own copy of this timeless classic about a little girl, a Christmas doll, and
the power of wishing. Our favorite part
was always the characters getting poked by either a piece of holly, a price
tag, or a safety pin, when they were about to make the wrong choice. As in
HOLLY'S WISH, sometimes characters just need a little help to figure things
out.

I read somewhere that Tuesday is a good day to launch a new release, although I seriously wonder if the day of the week makes any difference. If you’re eagerly awaiting an author’s new book, do you really care what day it comes out? I know I don’t.
UNDONE is the final book in my very steamy Secret Seductions series. It’s about three girlfriends on a wild week away and the shenanigans they get up to when one of them dreams up an X-Rated Scavenger Hunt.
“…a fun and Entertaining romp…the sexcapades of Kennedy, Justine and Lisa could have been picked from an Episode of Sex in the City. . .” ~ A Romance review.
An X-rated scavenger hunt!
It’s Kennedy’s solution to cheer up her two best friends and spice up their lives on a badly-needed girls’ getaway.
Lisa is getting over a cheating husband.
Justine recently broke up with her married lover.
While Kennedy is just love ’em and leave ’em Kennedy, in her element on a beach paradise surrounded by wealthy, eligible, and smokingly-single men.
The first one to complete the sexcapades list is the winner.
Which of them will take home the ultimate prize? Who will lose her heart?

ReplyDeleteI doo, too, Kari.
DeleteWow, Kathleen, you've been so busy writing! And enjoy Thanksgiving. We're having our dinner today with 2 of our grandsons. The younger won't eat anything but chicken fingers at the moment. Hoping that changes soon! Congrats on all your releases. There's something warm and cheery about writing Christmas romance. Sometimes, I wrap myself in the jolly!
ReplyDeleteWriting the Christmas story was more fun than I expected. Have a lovely Thanksgiving with the littles.
ReplyDeleteYup, nothing better than a holiday celebration in a book to add to the conflict of a romance.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if there is family conflict, right?
ReplyDeleteHappy holiday weekend. The family gathering sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Undone will definitely be on my must read list.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Thanksgiving, Kathleen. I'm looking forward to the Christmas Collection.
