Hi Lisa, tell us about your new Christmas book. Meow Mistletoe was an accidental story my editor suggested when we learned that a different holiday story I had begun would end up out of order in the series due to the publication schedule. It’s the first time I ever wrote a book based on the title. I’m glad it was always supposed to be novella size, meaning about a quarter the length of a full-size novel, so the amount of time researching and writing was doable in the timeline I had. The story takes place in one evening and introduces the characters who become the amateur sleuths of the Fancy Cat series . Ivy Preston is a jilted fiancé who, after a lengthy relationship, decides to start over and moves herself and her business, personal tech services, to a new community at the

A Warm Welcome to Carol James To enter to win  Mary’s Christmas Surprise leave a comment and an email address below. Carol shares a Bible verse to nourish our souls and a recipe to whet our appetites.  One of Carol's favorite Bible verses is Psalm 91:1-2 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High     will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,     my God, in whom I trust.” One of Carol's favorite recipes is her mother’s Cookie Canes My mother had the gift hospitality. Not only did she enjoy cooking and entertaining, but she was good at both. One of my favorite possessions is her recipe book. I love looking at the stained pages and wondering how old I was when those markings were made. Some of my fondest holiday memories are the times she and I made Christmas cookies together.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) One of Anita's favorite recipes: Adele’s Apple Donuts In the early 1960s, we lived in Denver. My mom, Adele, heard this recipe on the radio and jotted it down. It’s been a family favorite ever since. Not sure why they are called donuts when they are baked in a muffin tin. But who am I to question
