My New Book Drops Saturday!

Time has flown by so quickly! It seems like just yesterday that I was writing It Takes Two to Kringle! Truthfully, it was last November, but I haven’t kept track of the time.

It’s time, however, for me to release the book into the wild. So, on Saturday, the third book in the Kringle Chronicles, a series of holiday romance novels, will be available for sale on Kindle. This book features enemies to lovers, faculty romance, a quirky small town, a challenge, and Santa Claus. And Krampus. (Let’s not forget Krampus!)

Check out this book and treat yourself to an early Christmas!

Christmas Songs in October?

No, there’s a reason

I am prepping for my NaNoWriMo project, It Takes Two to Kringle. It’s the third Kringle Christmas romance. I’ve made a tentative outline which will get less tentative the second or third pass around. I have two weeks till NaNo, so I think it will get done.

But I also make a playlist for each novel I write, hopefully before the novel is written. I should mention that it’s not just my efforts; my husband contributes by searching iTunes for suitable songs. He’s at his best with Christmas songs.

The playlist goes as follows:

  • Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas — Judy Garland
  • Jingle Bells (Synth-Pop Version)
  • The Christmas Can-Can — Straight No Chaser
  • Sister Winter — Sufjan Stevens
  • Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! — Dean Martin
  • White Christmas — Johnny Mathis
  • The Christmas Waltz — Leslie Odom, Jr.
  • I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm — Barry Manilow
  • Justice Delivers Its Gift — Sufjan Stevens
  • River — Sarah McLachlan
  • Christmas Lights — Coldplay
  • Time To Fall In Love — Lindsey Stirling
  • Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy — Pentatonix
  • Merry Christmas Baby — Elvis Presley

A listen through

I listened to the whole playlist this morning and I’m really getting a good feel from it. It fits the moods of the novel, and it stands alone as a Christmas playlist (along with the two previous years’ Christmas soundtracks).

Now all I have to do is write the novel in November.
