The following stories appear in the collection:
If you enjoy Christmas stories of love and friendships, get Count on Christmas today.
I’m super excited to announce the arrival of my short story collection, Count on Christmas.
Originally, I planned to release it with five stories, but had so much fun I wrote six. The collection contains contemporary stories, some with new friendships, a couple of love stories, and one magical story. All of them are set around Christmas time.
To learn more about the collection, you can visit my book page for more details.
I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.
You can purchase my book where ever you purchase your e-books. If you prefer print, you can order a copy through Amazon.
Merry (Early) Christmas!
Happy Halloween! The adorable little kids in costumes made me smile this evening.
Also, happy day before NanoWriMo. November is the month when writers challenge themselves to write a novel in one month. I don’t plan to take part this year, but have done so in the past. The best thing I learned from NanoWriMo was that when I made a writing project important to me, I could make the time needed to get the draft finished despite the holidays. If you’re a writer struggling to carve out time to write, this could be helpful. There is one that runs during June (CampNanoWriMo) if November isn’t possible.
Last week, I created the book cover for my Christmas collection. I love how it turned out. My stories are almost edited and I’m on target for the release of the collection next week. The stories are a mixture of friendships, romance, and nostalgia.
I also continued to write my third Rockton Treasure novel. It took a few surprising twists. I’m having fun with it.
My ghost short story collection hit a slight delay and will go out this week.
My second Rockton Treasure novel just returned from my copyeditor. Once I make the suggested adjustments and create the cover, it will be published. If you’d like to be notified of when it’s ready, please sign-up for my newsletter.
Thank you for your support. I hope you have a great week.
Last week, I finished my last Christmas story for my holiday collection. I wrote five heart-warming short stories for the collection. I’m super excited to share them with you. Currently, all the stories are in my copyeditor’s hands. Hooray!
I had a blast writing the Christmas stories. It took me back to my tradition of writing daily Christmas short stories for my kids for about ten years. It ended when my daughter moved out. Those two were fun to write and I’m thinking about reviving the tradition to be a weekly story instead of daily. Writing daily short stories gets intense when juggling work and Christmas task.
My newest romance novel, Imperfect Love, is waiting review on all the booksellers’ websites.
This week, I’m writing my third novel in my Rockton Treasure series. I also plan to assemble my quirky ghost stories into a collection for Halloween.
I hope you have a great week.

It’s the first week of October and Christmas tunes are playing in my studio. What I love most about the music (besides it putting me in a festive mood) is it makes me feel like I’ve won a battle with my husband. For over twenty years we’ve argued (good-naturedly) about when it’s okay to play Christmas music and when it isn’t. He says December (maybe after Thanksgiving). I say when the mood strikes.
For the first five years of our marriage, my husband actually hid my Christmas CDs until the day after Thanksgiving. He lost ground when I ripped all the CDs to my computer and had a song ready to play as soon as it snowed, which in Wisconsin often happened late October or early November.
So why am I playing Christmas music on a sixty-degree day in Idaho at the beginning of October? I needed to set the mood for my Christmas Short Story Collection. Technically, Christmas music has played since September because it’s when I started writing my Christmas stories.
My Christmas collection will be five Christmas short stories. The first three are written. I will finish the fourth one this week.
I’m having fun writing Christmas stories. My brain is already playing with other ideas on future collections. I will release this collection during the first week of November.
Stay tuned!
