Guess What?! I'm in the For the Love of Murphy Anthology!

Yes, this is a very late and very last minute announcement. But it's great fantabulous amazing news.

I'm proud to announce that I ail leave a short story titled Coffee and Cufflinks in the 
anthology coming out March 17th! 





Fresh out of a failed relationship and exhausted by a constant barrage of fiascos at work, Olivia Johnson can’t see that the man of her dreams is right in front of her. Though she tells herself the morning coffee meet-ups with Daren are nothing but coincidence, she can’t deny his unequivocal attractiveness. As a night on the town entertaining clients takes a turn for the worst, her failures start to look a lot more like fate when Daren shows up where she least expects him. 

Maybe everything really does happen for a reason?

Giveaway and Author Spotlight on Michelle Ziegler


Today, as a part of the Winter's Sweet Kiss Anthology tour, I am excitedly highlighting Michelle Ziegler, author of One in a Million Snowflakes.


ONE IN A MILLION SNOWFLAKES  By Michelle Ziegler
Angela is in love with someone she can’t have. Stranded in the bitter cold after another failed date, Angela is running out of time.  Her company Christmas party is around the corner, and the idea of going with her boss’ nephew is less then appealing. Escaping the cold , Angela jumps into her familiar getaway car to find Nick, her life-long crush, in the driver’s seat.  Strategic planning on his part has them finally giving into years of denied feelings.  Unfortunately, reality always surfaces.  Angela pushes Nick away in fear of losing his sister, her best friend. Breaking Nick’s heart was never part of her plan, and thankfully Nick isn’t going to let her.  His headstrong nature comes out and changes the game despite Angela’s attempts to stay away from him. Angela needs to decide if her best friend is more important than Nick, or if she should just give up and resign herself to a life with someone else

Lucky you, I've got a sweet little excerpt from One in a Million Snowflakes!

Angela broke off as she heard a chuckle. A male chuckle. Had she gotten in the wrong car? She released the seatbelt she’d finally managed to grasp, which hit the car door with a loud thwack, and shot a glance at the driver’s seat. 
Nick. 
Suddenly, she wasn’t cold anymore.  
“Oh my God! When did you get back?” She flung her arms around his neck. Rebecca’s older brother was a Marine who had been on deployment. “I can’t believe you’re here! Becks didn’t tell me. You didn’t even send an email.” Angela was a little hurt. 
“You’re choking me.”
“Oh. Sorry. I’m excited to see you.” Angela let go, happy but embarrassed. She’d spent years squelching her feelings for Nick. She was obviously out of practice. 





Michelle’s imagination started spilling out onto paper the second she could scribble.  Her drawing never improved, but her love affair with words continued and evolved as she became infatuated with one story after another.  If life could be written, Michelle would write everyone’s ending as a happily ever after. 
Michelle grew up in Chicago and later moved to Colorado. Her husband still makes fun of her Midwest accent. By day she is an engineer, wife, and mother to two kids and two dogs. Her sanity survives on the pages she writes, even if her toddler is trying to drive her to the edge one temper tantrum at a time.

Winter's Sweet Kiss Anthology Release Day! And a GIVEAWAY



Whooohooo!!! I'm very excited, obviously. Short stories are not only one of my favorite types of stories to read, but also to write. I had so much fun writing An Unexpected Wreath and I hope you'll have as much fun reading it. I've got a quick summary below of each story in the Winter's Sweet Kiss anthology. Each story is just the right length for an evening's read, snuggle in next to the fire with some cocoa and some fuzzy socks.

BEGINNING OF FOREVER  By Terri Rochenski
When Wayne Edwards moves to town, Lillian Douglas experiences stirrings she thought were long dead. Guilt ridden over betraying her deceased husband and the feelings Wayne inspires, Lillian reluctantly lets him in. Secrets of the past – an old promise emerges, but will it threaten their forever?

MELT  By Shaya Roy
Newlyweds in an arranged marriage, Naina and Dev go to the mountains of Shimla, India in search of snow. Unfortunately, they find fifteen inches more than they expected. 
Being snowed in with her husband is not necessarily a bad thing. It gives Naina an excellent excuse to snuggle up to her deep, quiet man, but every time Dev spurns her, a little more of her heart drips away. Melting the ice around her husband’s heart before the snow outside does might take more pride than Naina’s ready to surrender. 

ONE IN A MILLION SNOWFLAKES  By Michelle Ziegler
Angela is in love with someone she can never have--her best friend, Rebecca’s older brother. 

Stranded in the bitter cold after a disastrous blind date with yet another company Christmas party looming, a standing offer from the boss’ nephew gets a little more appealing. Desperation. Not a good sign. Surely when Rebecca rescues her from the blinding snow, she can also convince Angela to just go to the party alone. She can always count on her best friend. 

That is, as long as she never finds out about Angela’s secret crush. 

AN UNEXPECTED WREATH  By Annabelle Blume

Stella’s got everything she needs in life: a great job, a beautiful house, and her independence. But on last minute trip to the local Christmas tree lot she finds something, or rather someone, she desperately wants - Grayson. An emergency trip to Target, an unexpected wreath, and a little Christmas magic make the season much brighter. 

SANTA BEBE  By Lily Carlyle

Disillusioned by men and her belief that they see her only as an object, Bebe is determined to find a man with money. Her geeky, but unfailingly kind, next-door neighbor James tries to convince her of the possibility of real love, even as she reveals to him the troubled childhood that made her so cynical about relationships. When her mother dashes her hopes for a perfect Christmas, Bebe finds herself turning to James once again, and in the process, learning a lot about herself and the promise their relationship holds.
