Welcome to my Holiday Traditions & Memories event, where some wonderful authors are sharing favorite traditions and/or memories with you. Today’s guest is multi-genre author Carolyn Crane, with a few words on how she’s overcoming her lack of enthusiasm for the holidays.
Carolyn writes romantic suspense, urban fantasy, and other tales of adventure and romance; she also writes erotic romance as Annika Martin. She lives in the American Midwest with her husband and two cats. During rare moments when she’s not at her computer, she can be found reading in bed, running, or helping animals. Her newest book is a romantic suspense, Off the Edge, releasing right around Christmas (how timely is that? 😉 ).
After you’ve read Carolyn’s post below, you can see more wonderful traditions and memories shared by readers in the comments on my 30 Days of Holiday Magic giveaway. Share your own story over there for a chance to win, too!
Be more jolly!
Linda, thanks so much for having me over today! Okay, confession – I’m a longtime grumbler about the holidays. I think I never made a connection with Christmas, and I’m pretty sure both my parents secretly hated Christmas. It was always like, be more jolly, dammit! Sometimes in January, I get this thought, well, it’s freezing out, but at least it’s 11 months until Christmas comes back. Aren’t you glad you invited me? LOL.
But I’m learning to like it more. Part of it is that my husband really loves Christmas. So we have this tradition around the holidays of lighting candles and playing Nat King Cole Christmas tunes and things like that and we lay around and read with the cats sprawled on us. I love that we do that. It’s just about enjoying the quiet with the guy (and kitties!) I love. Happy Holidays, people!!
SHE MAY BE HIS WORST ENEMY…
For deadly secret agent Peter Macmillan, language is a weapon—one he uses to hunt criminals, destroy plots, and charm enemies. Seducing information out of a beautiful singer in Bangkok hotel should be easy…except this particular singer has the power to destroy his cool façade, and with it, his last defense against a dark past.
HE MAY BE HER ONLY HOPE…
He tricked her. He helped himself to her body and her secrets. He has enemies everywhere. Laney Lancaster should hate Peter, but when she discovers him shirtless, sweaty, and chained up in the hotel’s dungeon, all she can think about is freeing him. Because she knows what it’s like to be trapped and alone. And she could use a dangerous friend.
They may be wrong for each other, but the instant they join forces, Laney and Peter are plunged into an odyssey of hot sex and dark danger. To survive, they must trust each other with their lives—and their hearts.
