Details are listed below...and in the meantime, please help me celebrate the release of my latest book HEREAFTER! It's a contemporary romance with a ghostly twist and will be available on December 11th!
Here's the excerpt from Hereafter...releasing 12/11/12
Angel’s body tingled. Her skin rippled with electricity, and she recognized the signs that she’d be transported soon.
Yes. Finally. She closed her eyes, wishing she could rush the transition from her world to his. Cool air prickled her skin and she stood in the man’s dark apartment. With moonlight shining through the sheers, she could make out his form on the sofa.
He jumped up and faced her.
She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t.
“The electricity went off again,” he said.
She frowned.
He stepped closer. “Ghosts don’t exist.”
No. He couldn’t banish her again. She needed something in this world. The lights flickered, sizzled, and then went off again.
Please don’t tell me to go away; it makes me go away. She might not have a voice in this world, but she could at least think it. She would not go, not when potential answers waited in this place.
The man stepped closer. “What are you doing? Angie, why do you keep coming here?”
Don’t tell me to leave…don’t tell me to leave. Pictures flew into her mind. People smiling and laughing. A tree in the corner with white lights and boxes under it….
He’d called her Angie.
“You know me?” Her words came out a whisper, but at least they finally came out. Tears tracked down her cheeks. The electricity flickered on, and then, stayed off. The air stopped sizzling. She blinked to adjust her eyes to the darkness again.
“Christ, this can’t be happening.” He moved his fingers over something in his hand and then pocketed it.
She closed the distance between them and grasped his upper arms, pleading him with her eyes because her voice had left her again.
“Yes, I know you.” He glanced away and looked out the window, let out a huff of breath, and then gazed at her. “Your name is Angie Barsotti and you used to live here.”
No wonder the place felt so familiar. Her spirits lifted. He could help her find out who she was, help her find out what was going on.
“And,” he dragged a hand through his hair. “You died and I don’t believe in ghosts.”
Cold air, cold as ice tore through her, ripping her from the apartment.

My favorite cookies at Christmas are chocolate chip and peanut butter. But my all time Christmas treat isn't a cookie. It's a pretzel topped with a rollo and pecan.
My favorite cookies are chocolate chip and hazelnut, with white cocos toppings. ^_^

My favorite Christmas cookies are the ones my Mother made from scratch for many, many years. And she let us kids help with the decorating. They were somewhat thick sugar cookies cut-out in many shapes including santa's, trees,and bells. Then they were covered in frosting dyed in many colors....red, green and white used the most. Also included in the decorating were silver colored balls, confetti jimmies, and colored sugars. These cookies smelled so good while baking and were so much fun to bring to life! After they dried, Mom would pack them up and give to friends and neighbors. We kids made sure to get our full share!
Favorite holiday cookie? Mom always made a wide variety. She made peanut butter with a hershey kiss in the midd. Chocolate chips. Yum!!

I have never met a cookie I didn't like, but the one I've grown to expect every years is the marshmallow/cornflakes Christmas wreath cookies with redhots for holly berries. I have a friend that makes them for us every year, and I always look forward to them!

I don't know if they're considered Christmas cookies in your part of the world, but I love the ones with a lot of rice crispies (which I get to eat a lot of during the holiday season).

I'm following on GFC. (Beth Gallinger) I love soft gingerbread cookies. My gmail is win4xmas.
Congrats on the new release. I have to say that I really am not a big fan of cookies. I only really like Chocolate chip cookies, but even those I eat sparingly. Ice cream on the other hand...

My favorite cookies are some Germam ones that my mom used to make during the holidays!! I can not remember the spelling of the name...so I will not even try!

Press Cookies -all time favorite. They were in the shapes of wreaths, trees, camels, with swirls of red or green food colorings. For as long as I can remember my dad and I would do the cookies and mom would decorate and bake them because she didn't have the strength in her hands to do them. Now, my 7 yr old son is operating the press with me and we both decorate. Thank you for the giveaway and for being a part of the hop. Merry Christmas.
