Happy Holidays, everyone!! The winter is always a special, busy time at my house. My husband and I celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas and it’s also my birthday! I delight in decorating the house, from the tree and lights to the menorah and my husband’s large collection of dreidels.
The mingling of our faith and traditions is something that I love. We drive around the neighborhoods in the evening, looking at all of the Christmas lights, then come home and light the menorah. We make gingerbread cookies and turkey and noodle kugel and latkes. My husband enjoys eight days of gifts and I get mine in one lump sum. Plus birthday gifts, too!
We enjoy going out to dinner on Christmas Eve then visiting our town square to see the giant 45-foot tree, where we always take a selfie. Then back home for hot chocolate, and because I’m a total fangirl, we watch the Very Supernatural Christmas episode. ☺ Breakfast on Christmas morning is always French toast and a viewing of A Christmas Story. And this year we’ll be watching the sequel – A Christmas Story Christmas!

Snowflakes and spies and mistletoe, oh my!
It’s been five months since British Intelligence agents Liam Bancroft and Colin Mason found the courage to weather the emotional storm of painful, long-buried secrets and confess their love for one another.
As their first Christmas together approaches, they want nothing more than to return to the idyllic English countryside and the cottage that has come to mean so much to them.
But the road there is fraught with obstacles. They must navigate the aftermath of finally revealing their relationship to family and the intelligence service, and an undercover operation that puts Liam’s life in jeopardy.
Will it take a Christmas miracle to bring Colin and Liam together for the holiday?
(This novel is a sequel to Stronger Together, but can be read as a standalone holiday book)
Jamie has a degree in fine arts and has spent the last twenty years working as a graphic designer, though she’d much rather be writing. She was born in Chicago and still lives there today with her husband and their two furry, four-footed children, er… cats.
If she’s not brainstorming story ideas, you can find Jamie at a sci-fi convention, in front of a furnace doing glass blowing, or on a mat twisted into a yoga pose.

ReplyDeleteI love decorating, especially snowmen. Making lots of candy and cookies, and this year Xander will be big enough to enjoy unwrapping presents.
ReplyDeleteAnd cooking a nice dinner though this year it’s just my husband, me and the baby.
