How this book came about:
Around 2015 and 2016, publishing changed a lot. I have hosted a Christian Writers' Critique group in my home for over 25 years. It's one way I give to other authors. Many of the people in my group at that time were writing publication quality stories, but it was harder for new authors to get published. So I decided to become a boutique publisher and put out novella collections from my group. The first one came out at Christmas in 2016.
In 2017, we did an April Fools Day collection and a Thanksgiving collection. In 2018, we did a July Fourth collection. Those are the four holidays we featured. They were only Kindle editions and they only were for sale just over a year each.
Many of my fans only read print books, so this year I decided to use four holidays, one in each season--Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer, and publish a collection just of my novellas.
The stories:
Four Seasons of Romance
Clean Millionaire and
Billionaire Series
DIY Thanksgiving Love
Autumn
Billionaire Romance
When Austin and Valerie meet in a home improvement store,
wrong assumptions cloud their early relationship. He finally realizes the
problem, but my then, he doesn’t want do anything to change their fragile
connection. Valerie finds out about the mix-up, and that throws a wrench in
everything. How can this mess ever be untangled?
Oh, Fudge
Winter
Billionaire Romance
Ulrike’s boss has assured her she will be his replacement
when he retires, and he’s planning to do that soon. Finally, all her plans are
falling into place. She first meets Roger when he visits a single’s party at
her church. His interest in her is just the icing on the cake. But she soon
finds out that Roger might make all her dreams crash and burn.
Oh, No, You didn’t!
Spring
Millionaire romance
When Doug tells Miranda to dress nice for a special dinner,
she’s sure he plans to propose to her. An unwise April Fools joke derails
everything in her life. Will they ever be able to overcome the effects of that
event?
Strange Voices in
the Night
Summer
Millionaire Romance
While movie
star, Katarina Slaughter, is in Texas
trying to take care of all the business attached to her inheritance after her
grandmother’s death, strange things start to happen. Not the least of which is
when Wise County Deputy Sheriff, Austin Krum, and a host of other deputies,
bright lights, and a bullhorn awaken her in the night. All kinds of sparks
begin to fly!
The opening scene of the last novella was loosely based on an event that took place right in front of our house about midnight in 2018. That story is a romantic suspense novella.
As usual, there will be a giveaway of the print book.

ReplyDeleteSorry to take so long to come by and read comments. My agent had sent a 3-book proposal to 4 publishers. 3 days later, we had 2 contract. I'd never had that happen before, both so fast and multiple contract offers. It's been a crazy 10 days, but today I signed the contract with Wild Heart Books. Be looking for my Lone Star Hearts historical series.
