I’d like to welcome Mary Martinez to my blog. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, suspense, and women’s fiction, and she has just begun to dabble in young adult mystery. Mary also writes as ML Foxx. This is her first jaunt into Fantasy and Sci-Fi, and she loves it.

Mary lives in Magna, a little town west of Salt Lake City, Utah. She loves to spend time with family and friends--she includes good books as friends! She and her husband love to travel, especially to the Caribbean for relaxing, Ireland and Scotland for her heritage, and Italy for the wine. One of her favorite US destinations is New York/Brooklyn, where her beloved Beckett's live. When she visits, she can wander their neighborhoods, favorite parks, and visit their favorite pub, Putnam's. Mary and her husband are also enthusiastic college football fans. They have season tickets to the UTES; University of Utah Football and they tailgate every game. They love tailgating so much, that they were married at a tailgating in 1999.

Mary has a new Christmas series. The first book released on October 15, 2024. Here’s more on the series, and find out how to win a $25 gift card below.

Book Blurb

Kristmas Noel Holly was born in December. Her parents hated everything about the season, so why had they named her after Christmas? Kris’s childhood memories were not filled with peace and joy, more of dread. She’s ecstatic when an invitation arrives to a prestigious conference in Germany for the first week of December. Her salvation to avoid the festivities.

Nicholas Joseph Holladay loves the season, every decorated tree, carol, and Hallmark movie. Nick’s idea of a perfect Christmas for his daughter doesn’t include a business trip. He loves his job ten months out of the year, so he’ll accompany Kris. He hopes to remedy Kris’s holiday workaholic tendencies by rekindling the special magic of the season for her. He plans to take Kris to the famous holiday markets and show her how much she misses while working.

Will his plan succeed, or will he ruin their working relationship?

Excerpt

“Nicholas Joseph Halladay, mind your manners,” his mother, Cora, huffed then went back to her wrapping. The signal for the rest to do the same.

He glanced over at his dad, Ben, who was trying hard not to laugh at his predicament. Fine he’d go over and just talk to his parents. Once he reached his parents at the table, he placed a hand on both their shoulders which caused his mother to finally stop and frown up at him.

“Good gracious what is so important that it can’t wait?” She asked.

“I need help with Angelina,” he began.

“Don’t tell me the tyrant you work for has an assignment for you. Why do you stay with that job.” Before he could reply she held up her hand. “I know. She’s a good person. Not to mention it is a good career and you love it. But every Christmas she does something to disrupt our holiday.”

“I know, I’m sorry. Maybe I can teach her the true meaning of the holiday season of giving.”

His mother snorted in answer. He had to smile. That would happen when pigs could fly.

“What do you need help with son?” his father asked.

“I need to go to Dresden, Germany the first week in December, it’s…”

“That’s next week!” His mother informed him as if he didn’t know that. “We were going to go skating at the Noël Market, I guess we can go the next week, since you don’t like to miss the skating.”
