Blurb:
Jackson Pierce didn’t make his fortune entertaining every half-cocked idea, especially one involving diaper changes. Not even the cute brunette who links him to the baby in her arms can crack his icy heart.
A baby on the doorstep is the least of Hannah Woods’s problems—she has to find the baby’s uncle, or the child will end up in foster care. She sleuths her way to the reclusive CEO’s doorstep only to find six feet of holiday sexy—and a door slammed in her face.

The Christmas Winner Post
Hey Everyone!
A couple more days and it’s Christmas! My favourite time of the year 😀 *Stella does happy dance to the tune of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree*
We celebrate Christmas on Dec 24th (that is tomorrow), so today will be busy since in my family due to all the events (and having the family come together from 3 different countries) we leave everything until the very last minute. So today and tomorrow we’ll have to trim the tree, decorate the house, wrap the gifts and even bake some cookies as last minute Christmas presents for the grandparents and aunts and uncles. So I’ll leave you now, enjoy the holiday preparations and the time spent with your loved ones, and have a wonderful holiday season everyone! 😀
And here are the Christmas winners:

Romance and Me: The Holiday Shopping List/Wishlist Edition
Hey Everyone!
Christmas/the holidays are fast approaching and I sincerely hope you have already started your gift shopping, but in all the buying presents for others do not forget to compile your own wishlist and even maybe treat yourself to one or two great stories 😉
By now you know what a huuge Christmas-aholic I am, which also includes my enthusiasm for holiday romances. You want to know why I love this sub-genre Easy, it encompasses two of my favourite things: Christmas and a love story. The holidays are always portrayed in these stories with their magical ambience that you can easily picture: the snow flakes falling gently, the fire roaring in the fireplace, the hot cocoa smelling tempting and the vibe of the holiday cheer and love permeating everything. (Ok, I can see how this can be too syrupy sweet for some less Christmas-enthusiasts so be assured …

How Marketing Infiltrated My Christmas Novella
One of the question most asked of any author is how do you come up with your ideas. Well, I’m going to give you a little behind-the scenes glimpse of part of that answer which might never occur to a reader. I had never planned to write a Christmas novella. Did not have the faintest inkling of an idea. …

Horses: A Writing Inspiration
I’ve had rabbits, cats, and dogs, but never a horse while growing up. I lived in New Jersey with populated neighborhoods and no one I knew had a horse. Taking lessons wasn’t even a consideration. The only time I’d been near a horse was when the farmer’s across from my grandparents house let me ride in the corn cart as the horse went up and down the field at harvest time. I can’t say …
