YAY!! It’s release day for One Enchanted Christmas.
I’m so excited. And nervous. And excited. And nervous. And…
You get the point, yes?
But I’m truly grateful to have had the time and opportunity to write this novella. It was such a blast…by far some of the most fun I’ve had writing lately.
It’s also my first time releasing a project on my own (separate from a publisher). I’m grateful to have had my publisher’s thumbs-up and the support of my editor and several close writing friends. It’s definitely been a learning experience!*
Here’s where One Enchanted Christmas is currently available:
Amazon (Kindle)
Barnes & Noble (Nook)
Kobo
To celebrate release day, I’m doing a giveaway!! You can win a $50 VISA gift card…Christmas shopping money! PLUS:
As you may know, One Enchanted Christmas was inspired by my, ahem, rather ridiculous crush on the cover model for the next book in my Walker Family series–Like Never Before–which releases April 2016. But my publisher is providing an Advance Reader Copy for my giveaway winner.
To enter, I’m asking you to help me spread the word about One Enchanted Christmas. Entry options are listed in the form below. You’ll notice one of the options is simply to tell family and friends about this novella. This is honor system, people. I have no way of knowing whether or not you followed through…but God knows. LOL! But seriously, thank you for helping me out!
Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of this project. You warm my heart and I’m truly grateful!
*Speaking of it being a learning experience…um, I happen to know there are a few typos in the Kindle version of this thing. They’re fixed in the Kobo and Nook versions, but not in the Kindle version. I had to upload that version a LOT earlier and couldn’t make changes until it actually released. It’s being updated as we speak, so if you preordered, you’ll be able to get the updated version soon by going to your Amazon account and finding “Manage Your Content and Devices.” Sorry about that! Like I said…learning experience!

Thanks, Elma! I’m grateful for talented graphic artists who come up with such pretty covers!
I’m excited to read your books. I am looking for new authors that I think I would enjoy and your titles looks great! I’m going to let others know about your books. I recently retired after almost 20 years of cataloging at my local library and always let the book buyers and patrons know when another author that I enjoy comes my way.
Author
Oh thank you so much, Barbara! I worked at a library for a short while in high school…in the children’s department. I absolutely loved it! Thanks so much for spreading the word about books you enjoy!
I pre-ordered this novella and can’t wait to get the chance to enjoy it! Congrats on the project and thank you for the giveaway! =)

Shared the news on Facebook. Congrats on the novella.
Author
Thanks so much for sharing, Sue. I really appreciate it!
I downloaded it this morning but am saving it to read tomorrow after I get out of surgery while I spend the night in the hospital. I can’t wait to start reading it.
Author
Oh, I’m sorry you’re having to have surgery, but I’ll pray it goes well! And I’m glad you’ve got some reading material for afterward. 😉
I am so excited for the next installment in the Walker series! Your short story “Three Little Words” was honestly the first short story I have read, that felt like a full complete story, without leaving you feeling like it was rushed or sudden ending – which is often the case. It was the perfect intro into the family. I have no problems recommending you to friends. Congratulations on the release of another sure to be big hit!!
Author
Oh thank you, Amy! That is SO fun to hear about Three Little Words. Truthfully, I’d hardly read any novellas and certainly never written one before tackling that one…and oh man, I had SO much fun with it. After writing it, I told tons of people I kinda wanted to just quit writing full-length novels and go to novellas exclusively. LOL! But yeah, it was a blast…and I had the same experience with One Enchanted Christmas. There’s just something about writing something a little shorter that’s so freeing and gratifying.
Awesome. Have it downloaded and starting to read it.
Author

I can’t wait to read you new books!!!!
Pick me I shared
Congratulations!! I can’t wait to read the book!!
Truth time–
–I pre-ordered this book because of the special price and the contest!
I’d forgotten I could read it on the 8th, until I saw your post about another contest. And, though I didn’t really intend to, I read it all the way through and wrote a review before remembering the review was on other way to earn entries into the contest!
More than that, you can read in my review.
WOOT! CONGRATS!! I POSTED AND SHARED WITH BFF
I just finished your book on my Kindle. I will admit I was feeling not at all “Chistmasy” with this very warm winter Iowa is experiencing and went searching for a short, inexpensive Christmas pick me up. This was perfect! And good enough I was inspired to look for your other books. I greatly enjoyed the novella and can’t wait to read more. And yes, I shared it. 🙂
