December to me means family, friends, afternoon tea, reading by the fire and reflecting on the past year. And writing. Of course, writing! It’s rare a day that I don’t write. Right now I’m in “monk mode” with new projects, a great place to be on these short, chilly (cold!) days.

My granddaughter and I are planning St. Nicholas Day (December 6) festivities. She’s in the second grade and loves to draw and do art projects, especially ones involving glitter. I love her cheerful rendition of sunflowers, below, that she did for me last week. I can’t help but smile looking at it, and I hope it’s the same for you.

A handful of my backlist romantic suspense titles are on sale this month. It’s a chance to read my early writing! As a reader, I love that contemporary publishing, particularly in eBook, has allowed out-of-print books to become available again. On sale through December 31, 2020, for $2.99:

Night Watch
The Venus Shoe
The Knotted Skein
The Uneven Score
“Husband for Hire” is on sale for just $.99. (This one’s a “refresh” of the original.)

Wherever you are, I hope your December is off to a great start!
