Celebrate the Holidays with Us! . . . by Kate James


I find it hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away! We have all our decorations up and are now officially in holiday entertaining mode, but I still have some gifts to buy and preparations to tackle.

One exciting aspect of this year's holiday season is the upcoming January 1st release of my next book, When Love Matters Most. I'm thrilled to be in excellent company with Amie Denman, Cynthia Thomason and Pamela Tracy, as they celebrate their January 1st releases, too.



It's not just the four of us who are celebrating. In fact, all Heartwarming authors have a lot to be grateful for this holiday season. Starting with our January 1st releases, Heartwarming books will now be available as mass-market paperbacks through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and of course Harlequin.com. In addition, starting January 2016, our books will be available in select Walmart stores in the United States. These exciting developments are only possible because of our wonderful readers. Thank you so very much for your support, reviews and loyalty!

In return, we would like to make this holiday season as exciting for our readers as possible. If you haven't already entered our blog giveaway, you still have time. We've "sweetened" the grand prize by adding 20,000 My Rewards points, courtesy of Harlequin, in addition to the other great prizes. And I just added a beautiful silk scarf.


Cynthia will announce the winners right here on our blog on December 23rd. Congratulations to all the winners. You will be contacted by e-mail on December 23rd.

For more prizes, autographed books, fun and to chat with Amie, Cynthia, Pamela and me, join our Facebook Party on December 29th, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM eastern time. As a special treat, MIRA suspense author Elizabeth Heiter, who has a release coming out that day, will also be participating in our Facebook party and giving away signed copies of her books. Here's a selection of the gifts we'll be giving away:

Under the Boardwalk by Amie Denman
  
Everyone's counting on him
  
With the sudden death of his father, Jack Hamilton finds himself running the family amusement park, Starlight Point. His first job? Balance the books, and that means raising the rent for vendors like baker Augusta Murphy.
  
Gus won't accept the new contract…not without a fight. She rallies the other vendors and sets out to negotiate with Jack. At least, she tries. How do you play hardball with a man who's charming and kind and still grieving? Gus needs to figure it out fast, because the closer she gets to Jack, the more she risks losing everything.

When Love Matters Most by Kate James

Keeping her safe at all costs

Could their backgrounds be any more different? Rick Vasquez, a K-9 unit sergeant with the San Diego Police Department, fled drug-related violence in Mexico as a boy. Madison Long, who recently became primary veterinarian to the SDPD's canines, is the privileged daughter of a judge. Rick has dedicated his life to curtailing cross-border drug trafficking and preventing other young boys from being drawn into the dark world of the cartels. But everything Rick and Madison value, and the growing love between them, is threatened by the dangers of Rick's job, and the risks he's determined to take…

A Boy to Remember by Cynthia Thomason
  
You can't live a lie forever

One magical summer—that was all it took for Alexis Foster to fall deeply in love with Daniel Chandler. And then she gave him up to keep Daniel from sacrificing his own dreams. But the passionate bond they shared is rekindled when Alex returns to her family's farm…with a powerful secret.

Ohio's youngest state senator, Daniel's star is on the rise. He's also discovering a kindred spirit in Alex's seventeen-year-old daughter. Alex has to tell him the truth even at the risk of his political future…even if it costs her the two people she loves most.

The Missing Twin by Pamela Tracy

The secret between them

Angela Taylor knew her sister was in trouble. For anyone but a twin, her instincts would seem crazy, and her actions crazier. Picking up and moving her and her daughter, Celia, to Scorpion Ridge, asking questions, put them all at risk. Even more risky was trusting Jake Farraday, the handsome ex-cop turned forest ranger. Years in witness protection had taught Angela to trust no one. Yet with Abigail missing, Jake was her only hope, and she found herself wanting to share more of her past with him. And more of her future. But did Jake have his own motives for helping Angela?

You can also purchase all four books together at Harlequin, Amazon, and B&N, and all four books are also available in both print and e-book formats from Amazon, and Barnes and Noble!

  4. I don't know how December and Christmas got here so fast. 2015 went by in a flash. I'm reading November books as fast as I can. Almost finished. But I have a growing stack of TBRs, because a lot of writers I know have books out recently. Hey, maybe I can retire and just read.
