#DECEMBER 2023 #Newsletter – HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Winter is in full swing. The days are short, the temperatures are chilly, and we’ve already seen plenty of snow. I always look forward to the winter solstice, which falls on December 21 this year. It will be the shortest day of the year, but after that, the amount of daylight increases ever so slightly from there on out. It kind of feels like we’re over the hump on the solstice even though it is technically the first day of winter.

The holiday season has not started out well, but I anticipate the month ending on a very happy note. I’ve always been relieved once we’re into the new year and the holidays are behind me, but I try to stay upbeat for those who are all in when it comes to the festivities. Whether your celebrations are tepid or over the top, I hope you’re finding joy in the holiday season.


WRITING NOTES AND NEWS

I received the final round of edits from my editor for, A Refuge from the World (The Beartooth Chronicles, Book 1). It’s looking like we’ll have a February 2024 release. The plan at the moment is for the next three novels in the series to be released every four to five months thereafter. So, if you love the first book, you won’t have to wait long for the second.

While working on edits for the first four novels in my new dystopian-adventure series, I’ve finished the fifth novel in the Beartooth Chronicles. I continue to write and release Kindle Vella episodes (Links below). I’m also trying to grow my readers and followers. If you aren’t already, I would appreciate any new followers to any of my social media platforms below. Thanks in advance.    

WHAT I’M READING

I finished Screamcatcher: Web World by Christy J. Breedlove and Chris H. Stevenson, published by Fire & Ice Young Adult & New Adult Books, who is also the publisher of my upcoming series, The Beartooth Chronicles. There was lots of action and I enjoyed the story.

I’ve also finished Red Rising by Pierce Brown. It’s an off-planet dystopian novel. It was pretty entertaining, so I’ll probably check out the next in the series.

Now, I’m into, End of the Beginning, by Judy Baker. I’ve read quite a few of her novels, and she never disappoints.

It seems like love happens when you’re not looking for it, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Car

I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure.   Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday. For now, let’s get to know Susan, and we can live our Australian dreams vicariously through her.   First, Susan, tell us a little bit about yourself.   I have been retired for almost 5 years which is wonderful. I now have the time to do the things I have always wanted. As a child I was a dancer, did TV work as well as Pantomimes at clubs during the holidays. We have a young granddaughter who is also fast becoming an accomplished dancer. We have a granddaughter who is a brilliant horsewoman and is very good at Marshall Arts, her sister is also very good at Marshall Arts. We have 2 gorgeous grandsons who are also into sports. We are very blessed.   What are your hobbies away from the computer?   We have 2 Jack Russell’s who I walk every day. I
