FAVORITE CHRISTMAS BOOKS
Hello, Quills!
I’m so excited to be here. Lori invited me to come over to play today and I have to take a moment to gush. I’m such a fan of the authors here. You gals rock the romance industry. :) Thank you for giving us such fabulous stories. :)
I began reading Lori’s books back when she first published for Harlequin Temptation. I searched high and low and found this early pic of us together at my first RWA National Conference in D.C. Horrible photo of me, but I was star-struck so who cares?
Luckily, the pics of us together have gotten a little better over the years. Here’s one of us last June at Lori Foster and Dianne Castell’s June Get Together. This is such a great event and if you haven’t attended yet, it’s an absolute MUST.
Over the years I’ve read every story Lori has released and can’t tell you how much I look forward to her books, but some of my all-time favorites have been her Christmas novellas. I love Christmas. Toss in a romance and I’m all yours. There’s just something about the season of love and hope and forgiveness that draws me in.
That’s why I’m so excited about my very first Christmas release, A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER (Harlequin Superromance), which hit the shelves November 6.
A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER is the last of a trio of character-related stories set in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, and features one of my favorite themes—amnesia. Can you imagine? It’s Christmas and you don’t know who you are?
After writing the first book in the series I received a lot of emails asking what happened to Jack, Joe’s little brother. When Jack roared out of town after graduation, where did he go? Why didn’t he contact his father again? How could he not believe in Joe’s innocence?
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the answers. Jack was mentioned twice in the book, no more. And then two things happened at once. The song Photograph by Nickelback received a lot of air-play and in the headlines was a tragic story I simply couldn’t get out of my mind. Time passed. And then my brain did what every writer’s brain does–what if Jack...
And so Jack’s story was born.
I hope you’ll look for A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER and play along with the contest running on my website. Also posted at www.kaystockham.com is an excerpt, a book trailer and probably more information than you want to know about me.
And for those brave souls who post and tell us their *favorite* Christmas book/author, I’ll give away a copy of A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER in the hopes that, maybe, it'll become one of yours.
Thanks again!
Kay – off to get paper and pen so I’ll have more Christmas books!
