#WednesdayWordswithFriends ~ All Christmas till Christmas
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today marks the beginning of the Christmas season so what better way to celebrate than with Christmas books?
Beginning with my very own, Keri's Christmas Wish, we will host only Christmas titles through Jan. 2, 2021.
I talked with a friend who is knowledgeable in numerology and she said 2020 (based on the number 0) was a time of endings and 2021 (based on the #1) will be a time of new beginnings.
Let's hope so!
But for now, here's praying Each and Every One of YOU, dear friends have a Blessed and Happy Holiday Season.
Blurb:
For as long as she can remember, Keri Jackson has despised the hype and commercialism around Christmas so much she seldom enjoys the holiday. Will she get her wish and be free of the angst to truly enjoy Christmas this year?
A devout Christian at heart, Jeremy Hinton, a Psychotherapist, Life Coach, Spiritual Mentor and Energy Medicine Practitioner has studied all of the world’s religions and homeopathic healing modalities. But when a rare bacterial infection threatens the life of the woman he loves, will all of his faith and training be for naught?
Find out in Keri’s
Christmas Wish
Synopsis: In Keri's Christmas Wish we get a glimpse into the life and spiritual practice of an ordinary woman who goes through an extraordinary experience.
Keri Jackson is an accountant who, although she loves Christ, abhors the hype, commercialism and controversy of His birth. As she embarks on a spiritual quest to determine why she feels this way, a rare bacterial infection threatens to take her life before she can find answers.
Jeremy Hinton, a Psychotherapist whose practice is a bit unorthodox as far as the medical community is concerned, has been enthralled by Keri from the moment the two meet. He feels she is a highly intelligent, deeply emotional, intensely complex human being. He has studied the human psyche and spiritual evolution for as long as he can remember. Keri's attitude toward Christmas baffles him, but Jeremy is sure together they can get to the bottom of it. Until she is beset by a rare infection that she may not recover from.
But what Jeremy and the doctors don't know is that while her body is under attack, Keri's soul is alive and well in another realm.
We travel this
journey with Keri as she discovers a spiritual truth that is sure to set many
people free from preconceived notions about heaven, angels, Christ, Christmas
and the value of a relationship with Jesus.
Excerpt: She awoke in another dimension. Keri had no idea if she was in Heaven, but neither did she fear Hell. Her surroundings were reminiscent of a dense forest at dusk. Shadows danced against a sunset where brilliant colors bled from the sky. A light shone in the distance but as she moved toward it, Keri felt as though she plowed through molasses. Unease pricked her skin. The sound of water drew her deeper into the woods until she stood at the base of a vast waterfall and rapids so swift she dared not attempt to cross the river.
The light grew stronger, brighter. Beckoning.
I need to get to the light.
Q&A:
What inspired you to write your newest release Keri’s Christmas Wish?
When I look back on the beginning I can honestly say Keri’s Christmas Wish was totally inspired by God. I’d finished a short story and sent the collection off to my editor when a vision of a young woman scrolling through her newsfeed came to mind with the words: Bah Humbug…. The entire story evolved from that one image and I completed the manuscript within a very short time. Since this was the first, original fiction story I’ve written in its entirety since 2009 I’m very excited to see it come to fruition.
Why should people buy this book
and who is your potential audience?
Keri's Christmas Wish will give readers an enjoyable fiction story that shares the miracles and magic of the books and movies made over the last several years based on a true account of someone's visit to heaven. Those who love reading, hearing about and watching a true account of someone's visit to heaven as well as those who wonder if heaven is for real and what it is like, will enjoy Keri's Christmas Wish.
Is there anything else you feel is
relevant to this story?
True accounts of
heaven, angels, miracles as well as Energy Medicine, and meditation/self-help
techniques are huge topics of interest in the world today. This story combines
all of the above in a manner sure to entertain as well as enlighten.
That regardless of where you are in your faith journey God and His angels are
always there to guide and guard and that He loves you in spite of your doubt
and fears.
Q: To what or whom do you credit your
success?
A:
Many people have a love/hate relationship with their muse. My muse is the Holy
Spirit and I accredit every ounce of success to the grace of God because
without HIM I seriously doubt I could write a single word, much less stories
that bring hope and healing to so many.

#SaturdaySpotlight is on Kara O'Neal & Two More of Her Pike's Run books!
Good Morning,
Well, Thanksgiving is almost here and beginning next week I'll be featuring Christmas books only on the blog so today you'll get a double dose of Historical fiction by my friend and fellow author, Kara O'Neal. Since she is not new to us, I'll just turn the spotlight over to Kara now.....
Blurb:
Emma Prescott, determined and selfless, flees from wealth and her murderous father, wanting the love and forgiveness of poor cotton farmer, Kyle Lonnigan.
Although Kyle refuses to forgive her for her part in his father’s death, Emma stays and works her own farm. Over the next several months, Emma proves to Kyle she is not the spoiled girl he remembers.
Emma’s sudden re-entrance into Kyle’s life only conjures long-buried painful memories. Kyle does his best to avoid her, needing to keep the pain at bay, and stopping her from reminding him of their last moments together before bullets shattered their world. But, he is unsuccessful. The love he denies is too strong, and soon Emma and Kyle are tumbling headlong into the past and passion.
Get your copy of Welcome Home at Amazon, B&N, Kobo & Apple.
Born and raised in Texas, the state had to be the setting for my first series. From the food to the fun, like floating the rivers, it is the fire in my blood that inspires me. My family and friends take center stage in my books. My sisters and best friends are my heroines, and my husband created my favorite hero. Love and family are the point of my stories, and I seek to entertain, relieve stress, and inspire people. Books can take one on a journey that one can relive over and over. I am extremely grateful to those authors who did that very thing for me. I learned and I fell in love with their words and characters. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

#SaturdaySpotlight is on Linda Nightingale & her Tomorrow's Angels Series!
EXCERPT From Life For Sale:
Monica
moved closer to Christian, holding his gaze. “You were always your creator’s
favorite…it’s rumored.”
Shaking his
head, he moved away from her advance. “I didn’t hear that rumor.”
Her brows
shot up, but she said nothing. Her steady gaze challenged him to deny her claim.
Was what
she said true? Without Damien Wills’ help, their bid for freedom would have
failed. They’d have been captured and deactivated on the spot. That scene
replayed before his eyes.
“Damien,” he said, urgency lowering his voice.
“Do you know why the Special Editions were created and tested among humanity?”
“As companions, as—”
“No. Deactivate the alarm, please.” Christian
nodded at the red handle embedded in the wall. “You’re in no danger from us.
You are a danger to us. Allow me to tell you what we’ve learned, and I believe
you’ll understand where we are going and why.”
His creator stared at him for several precious
seconds, considering. Christian felt each beat of time slipping away. Finally,
the scientist grabbed the handle and tugged.
Monica’s
sensual yet oddly hard voice jerked him back to the ocean liner. He awoke from
the memory, gazing over his shoulder at the restless sea
“Why else
would Dr. Wills turn off the alarm, allowing us to escape?” Monica positioned
herself in front of Christian. In a bold act, she stroked his cheek. “Did Dr.
Wills tell you how perfect you are?” Her shoulders moved ever-so slightly, the
gesture carnally arousing. “Every day, Stefan told me how special I was.”
March flung
Monica an irritated glance. Now and then, jealousy overcame his wife. Since
Monica’s appearance, now more than then. He almost laughed when she captured
his hand, staking her claim and warning the sexy android to butt out.
“Looks like
we have another Special Edition with an independent streak,” March commented
softly—the iron fist in the velvet glove. Monica had better beware.
“I have to
be independent. Fending for myself alone.” Monica swept a hand through her
hair, the gesture highlighting the pert fullness of her breasts.
At his
side, March tensed, a distant look in her eyes. “You don’t have to be single to
be alone.”
Why was
Monica II acting as if she were the only person never to have found a partner?
He hated that she’d reminded March of her failed marriage and the long years
she felt she’d wasted. They were silent for a long moment, each perhaps
considering his or her own quest for love. Christian was relieved when Daniel
spoke into the growing darkness.
“Are you
that unhappy?” His brother’s voice held compassion, but something else echoed
behind his question. He sounded sad as Monica felt—or pretended?
“Let’s just
say my life could be fuller.” Monica turned back to the rail, staring at the
black sea. “What would happen if we jumped into the ocean? Would we drown?”
Christian
stiffened. “No, but don’t test it. The immersion in water might cause a short
circuit that would destroy you—”
“But it
didn’t—” Daniel broke off when Christian raised a warning hand.
“Why do you
ask such a question?” He was concerned, angry, and more than a little worried
about Monica.
Daniel
joined her at the rail, placing his hands on her shoulders from behind. “We
both need someone to love; someone to love us.”
“Let’s
change the subject,” March’s expression showed sympathy not pique. “Do we need
to change for the big Welcome Party?”
“There’s
plenty of time.” Daniel pulled Monica to him and hugged her. “I’m sorry things
didn’t work out for you and the pilot. You’ll find someone else.”
She patted
his back. “Thanks, Daniel, but it won’t work. I’ve tried.”
March
smiled. “Okay, team, our mission is to find Monica’s Mr. Right.”
“I’m in,”
Christian said, and Daniel raised a hand.
Monica’s
expression hardened. “I don’t think it’s possible.”
Christian
shivered, remembering the pilot all too clearly. A severed head in a box in their backyard.
The disgust he’d felt then possessed him now, his heart clenching. His feelings
must have shown on his face. March squeezed his hand and whispered, “Don’t go
there. We must forget.”
And they
had much to forget.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Linda Nightingale’s Life for Sale takes the characters from
Love for Sale and sets them on a dangerous adventure for these androids posing
as human. After fleeing at the end of the first book, they are trying to hide
from the watchful eye of Mayfair, but decide a reunion is in order. One of the
four, however, is suffering a murderous malfunction. The resulting story is not
so much a murder mystery as it is a study of a chaotic mind, albeit lab
created, yet eerily human in its madness. Nightingale has seamlessly made the
unbelievable believable for the reader with a totally unexpected, but
thoroughly satisfying ending to this duet. Imaginative premise, well developed
characters and an insight into a mind gone wrong make this a great read…S.

After 14 years in
Texas, Linda returned home to her roots in the South Carolina red clay. She has
eight published novels, four of which are available from Audible.com in audio.
For many years, she bred, trained and showed the magnificent Andalusian horses.
So, she’s seen a lot of this country from the windshield of a truck pulling a
horse trailer. She’s won several writing awards, including the Georgia Romance
Writers’ Magnolia Award for Excellence, the Raven Award, and the SARA Merritt. In
real life, she was a legal assistant.
