November: A Farewell to Autumn by Loree Lough and Cerella Sechrist

Now that we’ve put National Deviled Eggs Day (2nd), turning back our clocks for Daylight Savings Time (5th), and Marooned without a Compass Day (6th) behind us, we thought it might be fun to highlight a few more weird ‘national days’:

Feel free to have fun on Clean Your Fridge Day (15th), put that cake of yeast you found in the butter bin to use for Homemade Bread Day (17th), and drive your family and friends bonkers with all manner of trivia for National Absurdity Day on the 20th!

And what kind of pals would we be if we didn’t let you know that November is Adopt a Turkey Month!

Yes, National Authors’ Day (1st) is also behind us, but we can’t help but wonder…did you acknowledge National Family Literacy Day (also the 1st)? We know how we’ll celebrate I Love to Write Day (on the 15th)!

By now, you know how fond we are of cooking and baking (and eating!), so we’re sure you aren’t surprised that we want to share two of our favorite Thanksgiving-type recipes with you:

Au Gratin Potato Casserole (You can enlarge and print the recipe card at this link.)

Grandmom’s Chocolate Cake (You can enlarge and print the recipe card at this link.)

With Thanksgiving right around the corner (25th), we’re compelled to draw your attention to two of our Heartwarming novels: Did Sam Marshall hear yes or no when he proposed to Finn during the big turkey dinner scene in The Firefighter’s Refrain? And what did Rory say after Sawyer realized the possibility of his early onset Alzheimer's diagnosis would jeopardize their future together in A Song for Rory? Much as we’d love to share ‘spoilers,’ we’d rather see you read the stories to find out!

And have you seen the covers for our next Heartwarming releases? Bringing Rose Home from By Way of the Lighthouse series by Loree releases in January, and The Way Back to Erin (the third installment in Cerella's Findlay Roads Story series) is coming in February! Both books are available for pre-order now!

Until we see you again in December, we wish all of you a bountiful, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving!
