Hello, sexy readers!
How’s your Christmas shopping so far?
This is the last stretch.
Are you done with all your Christmas shopping? Are you a last-minute shopper?
Also, are you staying home for Christmas or are you travelling?
Share in the comments.
I’m staying put in the North Pole. I debated travelling to visit family abroad, but I wasn’t certain. In the end, I’m happy I didn’t because it looks like we might go into lockdown again because of this new stronger variant of the virus that doesn’t seem to want to go to way and now the government is reverting back to some safety precautions. I wouldn’t be surprised if by January, we were back to 100% locked down.
This is so maddening.
Moguls Paperbacks

Let’s talk paperbacks.
The paperback for Phoenix is available!
The LARGE print for Beckett is up. Rhys and Phoenix’s should be up this week. It takes Amazon 72 hours to get these on in all stores.
You’ll find the links below to grab the paperbacks:
The countdown continues! Only 3 sleeps left before you get to drool all over Zane Keller!

If you love a sinful and swoony worthy Christmas stories, you’re going to fall head over heels for Zane Keller’s romance.
Zane Keller, aka Max Keller’s cousin is fifty shades of hot. Serendipity pairs him with a full-figured bombshell who desperately needs a fake boyfriend for a Christmas wedding from hell…
Fair warning: the family drama is offered a top.
Translation, Zane’s romance a wonderful Christmas story that’s the perfect blend between swoony and sinful.
A Very FAKE Christmas is everything you want in a Christmas romance… and a hell of a lot more.
The book will only be available on December 23 (two days before Christmas), but you can pre-order it now so it lands in your Kindle the second it’s live on Amazon.
Personally, I’d recommend hot cocoa and your favourite cookies while reading Zane’s story, but hey, it’s just a suggestion.
Pre-order it now: A Very FAKE Christmas

Zane’s Paperback
The plan was to have the paperback published close to the e-book, and we were on track for that, however, due to the tight deadlines, the proofreaders and advanced readers couldn’t get the edits to me all at the same time.
I received a batch of edits on Friday and made the corrections over the weekend. I already submitted those two Amazon for the e-book. However, things are different for the paperback.
My assistant China is usually the one who formats paperbacks. Sadly, China and her fellow countrymen in the Philippines are dealing with a category five typhoon. She was able to send me a private message on Friday late afternoon on Facebook before the battery of her phone died.
There’s no electricity, no Internet, and no water where she lives. Also, a pole near her home fell. On top of that, her roof is damaged.
Currently, her priority is survival and the well-being of her family.
I’m not sure how long it’s going to take her to be able to establish communication again.
I can publish the paperback without the handful of errors that have not been corrected, or I can wait until China is back. Other than that, I’d have to figure out on my own how to format these books, because right now, I have no idea and it would take me a few days.
Thanks for your patience as I try to figure things out.
Let’s go back to the Christmas program…
Since you still have a few more days to wait for Zane’s story…
‘Tis the season to be merry and read a whole lot of Christmas romance.
As you wait for Zane’s story, you can one-click author-friend (Amazon Top 100 author) JJ Knight’s Second Chance Santa.
I never thought the love of my life would turn out to be — a mall Santa.
So, first I have to tell you one thing. I never meant to get naked on Santa’s lap in the middle of Riverside Mall.
Don’t worry. It was after hours.
The elves had all gone home.
Well, other than the security guard. But when it comes to sneaking around, let me tell you — Santa has ways.
But the thing about this mall Santa?
He wasn’t always Santa.
He was Mack McAllister, the roughest, toughest law student in our year. We dated back then, placing very hot bets on who would score higher on exams.
Naughty list material, for sure.
He was going to slay the competition when we graduated.
But now he’s sleighing it?
I don’t know what to expect when I get involved with him a second time.
But let me be the first to tell you — Santa definitely has command of the North Pole.
Get it now: Second Chance Santa

Hi Scarlett!
I’m sorry you are facing yet another lockdown… 😢 That has to be maddening. We are home for Christmas also, no traveling for us either!
Please pass along my best wishes and prayers to China as well! A Cat 5 is devastating…. I have been through a Cat 3 and that was bad enough. Can’t even imagine what she is feeling.
Cannot wait til the 23rd!!! Am I understanding correctly that Zack’s story is only available for one day, 23 Dec? Or is that just the first day?
Anyhoo, Merry Christmas to you!
Blessings,
Misti
Hey Misti,
Dec 23 is release day!
Love the man candy! Santa can bring me him this year! 😊 Can’t wait to read A Very Fake Christmas! Scarlett, hope you have A Very Awesome One and may you be blessed with an abundance of Peace, Love, Joy, and Great Health!
Yummy Yummy candy man. Merry Christmas to you. No stress for me as my hubby and I go out of the country somewhere tropical and have no kids. So we don’t worry about buying Christmas gifts.
