Welcome to the blog hop!
When I think about home during the holiday season, a few things stand out in my memory...the Christmas music, the smell of fresh-baked cookies and peppermint, and love. Pretty much just an all around feeling of warmth, like snuggling up in your favorite blanket or being enveloped in a tight bear hug.
I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas celebrations with family and friends...enough to warm my heart on any cold winter day and then some! Sometimes it's bittersweet to remember holidays gone by and miss the loved ones that live on only in our hearts - but knowing I have those memories to cherish, means more than any present I could ever receive.
All of the memories, from the smells, the gingerbread cookies and mistletoe hanging in doorways, keep it all alive for me. And all of those elements went into my Christmas novella, Muffins & Mistletoe. During the hot summer, while I was writing this story filled with snowy days, gingerbread muffins and a matchmaker trying to work her magic with two wounded hearts, I took all my Christmas memories and reveled in the joys of my past. Sometimes going home for the holiday is as simple as closing your eyes and remembering!
Welcome to Starlight Hills! Mountain views, small town
charm, and one little bake shop, where romance is always on the menu.
Christmas is the best time of year to be in love in
Starlight Hills. Cold nights perfect for snuggling, plenty of mistletoe to be
caught kissing under, and an abundance of gingerbread muffins for sharing under
the stars. But when Corinne Mackenzie turns down a proposal from the man she
loves at the Thanksgiving table, it could be the worst time of year instead.
Convinced the only way to fix the biggest mistake of her life is to enlist the
help of the town's resident matchmaker, she's got a plan to make this the best
Christmas ever.
After his proposal is rejected in front of family and
friends, Jimmy Crane knows his only chance of surviving the holiday is to avoid
the woman who stomped on his heart. The only obstacle to his plan is his
matchmaking mother and Corinne's knack for getting him under the mistletoe.
