Hi everyone,
Thanks
for joining the Holiday Gifts of Love Blog Hop. Hope you are having fun
discovering new stories and new authors.
So
when I think of Christmas, why is it that my mind wanders off to a picture
perfect Dickensian scene full of carriages, snow and carollers? Maybe I read
The Christmas Carol once too often as a child. It’s kind of silly when the
majority of my Christmases have been far from white. Christmas in Australia is
generally hot (and you can take that anyway you like!). No seriously, the
mercury climbs and more often than not we swelter in 45 degree heat (that’s
Celsius which I think equates to about 113 degrees Fahrenheit).
Christmas
dinner can mean anything from a picnic at the beach, firing up the barbie in the
back yard and cold buffets. Some brave a hot Christmas dinner, although I can
only imagine that they have fantastic air conditioning. It’s filled with ice, water
fights, Pavlovas and ice cream Christmas pudding. The sun beats down and you
can smell the dry grass as the heat rises.
Wherever
you are, I hope that you are happy and safe over this holiday period.

Capturing Bliss
In 12th-century England, love isn't part of the marriage equation.
But Lady Blissot de Woodville adores her younger sister too much to see her
suffer such a fate. Instead, Bliss recklessly switches places with her
sister—and marries a total stranger under false pretenses! Fortunately, she
soon discovers she shares a rare passion and genuine love with her new husband,
the ardent Lord William Reynard. Yet the happier Bliss becomes, the more her
secret weighs heavily on her heart...because one desperate lie could destroy
everything she's come to cherish.
My
new Christmas novella, Misrule’s Mistress will be released on the 20th
December by Pink Petal Books. I hope you will check it out. It is a medieval
tale which is set during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Misrule’s
Mistress
She has refused him
once but with a golden ring, the Feast of Misrule and a little cunning, Lord
Barric Cranley intends to catch his bride.

ReplyDeleteI think we all have the "ideal" Christmas in mind even though we may not have ever experienced it quite like that. White Christmas is rare in Nevada or California, and yet what do people dream of? LOL
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

Thanks Z - Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI live in America on the east coast along the Great Lakes. Because we're in the snowbelt area, we usually get buried under many feet of snow each winter. This year, we have had mild temperatures and a lot of rain. I believe we'll have a wet and green Christmas.
