New Christmas Collection Cover Reveal and Pre-Order!

I have been waiting for this day for what feel like forever! As both an author and a graphic designer, there’s few parts of the publishing process that are more exciting for me than revealing a book cover for the first time.

Seeing a book cover makes the project feel REAL. Soon, something you’ve worked so long and hard for will be out in the world for others to enjoy. What makes today’s cover reveal all the more sweet is that I get to do it alongside some women who have become dear friends. When authors Andrea Boyd, Mikal Dawn, Toni Shiloh, and Jaycee Weaver invited me to join their new Christmas collection, I was so thrilled. Having had to pull out of their Once Upon a Christmas project last year, this felt like a chance to get back in the writing game. This team of ladies has made that reentry so great.

Be sure to read to the end for the pre-order button! This sweet holiday collection would also make a great Christmas gift for family and friends who enjoy uplifting stories. The book releases October 20 and we’ll have much more merriment leading up to that big day!

Without further ado, it’s with MAJOR excitement that I get to finally show you the cover of Something Borrowed: Christmas Wedding Collection! I had so much fun working with these authors to design the fun and festive illustrated-style cover that cleverly reflects our five novellas connected by friends turned Christmas brides.

Something Borrowed: Christmas Weddings Collection Now Up for Pre-Order!

Want an more up-close look at the collection cover AND the cover for my novella in the collection?

Mid-Year Very Merry Book Giveaway: Restoring Christmas

ABOUT RESTORING CHRISTMAS

Available on Amazon

Alexis Blake has one chance to land her own show on the Home Project Network and nothing – not an uncooperative client, a job site without indoor plumbing, or a challenging videographer – is going to stand in her way.

Elsie, at seventy-plus, is far from the ideal client, but she knows exactly what she wants her fieldstone house to look like, and no designer can tell her otherwise.

Gabe Langley, the man with the camera, is caught in the middle and it is his wisdom and warmth that just may be the bridge that will bring these two women together. Can they restore more than just a house and bring about special, almost lost forever Christmas memories?

Mid-Year Very Merry Book Giveaway: It Happened at Christmas

The Mid-Year Very Merry Book Giveaway book for today really sparked my interest being billed as a spin on While You Were Sleeping — one of my favorite romantic movies! It Happened at Christmas by Christen Krumm is a really cute Young Adult book, and I don’t usually pick up YAs. SO, SO GOOD!

Can we also take a moment to collectively appreciate the gorgeous cover?! SWOON!

After you enter to win this sweet book, don’t miss the others in this giveaway! If you’ve not yet entered to win all the other books already featured in this month-long giveaway, scroll back to previous posts and enter. I’ll be announcing winners in a big winner post at the end of the month. (One exception is the first book, whose winner was already announced!)

ABOUT IT HAPPENED AT CHRISTMAS

Available on Amazon

In this enchanting YA spin on While You Were Sleeping, Christen Krumm delivers laughter and Christmas sparkle through a swoon-worthy story of first love and belonging.

Life at Iverson Preparatory Boarding School isn’t easy when you’re basically the maid. Murphy Cain spends her days cleaning up after her upper class peers in exchange for tuition while dodging their cutting remarks. All of that changes when she rescues her crush, the popular and hunky Tripp Harrington, after a near-fatal accident and is mistaken as his girlfriend.

Murphy finds herself struggling with the choice to reveal the truth or play along. As Tripp’s girl, his wealthy family will offer Murphy something she’s been craving her whole life—a chance to be one of the “in” crowd. A chance to belong. Without it, she’ll be right back where she started.

It only gets worse as Tripp’s brother Hank enters the picture. He’s handsome, down to earth, and seems to understand Murphy better than anyone else. The only problem? She’s supposed to be dating his brother.

As Christmas break draws to a close, Murphy must decide if telling the truth is worth losing it all or if the risk will bring a greater reward in the end.
