Yay, I’m back home and other than facing laundry mountain, all is well!

Today is a fun day for a few reasons…first the launch of my new Christmas anthology (along with Jill Shalvis and HelenKay Dimon!) Kissing Santa Claus is today! Also, the mass market reprint of To All A Good Night (last season’s holiday anthology, also with Jill & HelenKay) also hits the stands. This is fun for another reason, and that is because my novella’s in these two books are connected to one another. So for those who read Unleashed last fall, now you can find out the next layer in that story! (The stories stand completely alone, but there is a secondary plot line that connects them both.) I’ve had a great time with these!

DONNA KAUFFMAN
Lock, Stock and Jingle Bells
Holly hates the yuletide season more than ever since she inherited her mother’s Christmas novelty store, but her childhood pal Sean’s determined to warm her up—to Christmas and to him. When they uncover a diary concealing secrets involving both their families, this could be the Christmas that changes their lives forever…

JILL SHALVIS
Bah Handsome!
Behind on her bills, B&B owner Hope receives an unlikely guest—stranded solicitor Danny, who’s been threatening to put her out of business. Hope’s staff sees more fire than fight in the sparks that fly as they try and bring Hope and Danny together, but only a Christmas miracle can help these unlikely lovers see the light…

HELENKAY DIMON
It’s Hotter at Christmas
Hawaii’s no paradise for Marissa, who, thanks to a series of unfortunate events, can’t seem to get away from the sand to enjoy her Christmas East Coast style—with plenty of snow and slush. But tall, dark, and serious police officer Ted’s about to give this bad Santa in heels a Mele Kalikimaka she’ll never forget…

DONNA KAUFFMAN
Unleashed
When Emma Lafferty is hired by a billionaire CEO to watch his pets over the holidays, she expects to enjoy a quiet Christmas in opulent surroundings. What she doesn’t expect is to spend the week trapped in the mansion with the CEO’s sexy great-nephew¬¬—and heir—whose motives are as shady as his desire is crystal clear….

JILL SHALVIS
Finding Mr. Right
Brilliant chemist Maggie Bell has a knack for choosing Mr. Wrong, and with yet another lonely Christmas looming, she decides it’s time to alter the equation—and seek out someone who seems totally wrong for her. Enter Jacob Wahler, the rough and rippling contractor who’s about as far from Maggie type as he could get. But suddenly what’s wrong for Maggie seems oh-so-right….

HELENKAY DIMON
Can You Hand Me the Tape?
Natalie Pritchard is desperate. It’s a week before Christmas and she’s lost the naughty tape she made for her now-ex-boyfriend. She’s so desperate, in fact, that she’ll turn to her nemesis Spencer Donovan for help. The sexy criminal defense attorney would be only too happy to assist—but can Emma afford his price?

And, in a few short weeks….A Great Kisser hits the stands! Woo hoo, Fun Fall!

In the meantime, what have you all been reading? What are you loving about the new fall season? Other than the obvious (Amazing Race, yay!) I’m still loving Castle, The Mentalist, and Grey’s…and The Good Wife is still on my DVR list. Eastwick has ended up back there, too. It’s kind of reminding me a little of what I liked in the first season of Desperate Housewives…back when I used to watch it. Only with witches.

So? DISH!
