Christmas Looms!

I guess it isn't very nice to say that Christmas is looming. That word suggests something ominous hovering over the city.
Christmas is on it's merry way!
And no one is thinking Christmas more than me because for the last month, I've been writing Christmas Romance screenplays in hopes of selling one!
I have books, novellas, short stories, screenplays, and scripts. Take your pick. But my latest work is writing a believable Christmas movie but still keeping in the hunky new guy, the old boyfriend who's all wrong and lots of mistletoe and skating on a quaint frozen lake with twinkly lights and a cocoa stand. See? I'm up to my eyeballs in Christmas.
And for that reason, I combined 4 of my novels into one set and called it Christmas in Love.
All four stories are romances, the last one less of a full-on Christmas romance and more of a suspenseful Christmas story with a couple that's still in love after a baby.
Instead of publishing these books individually, I made a marketing decision to presale the set at a discounted $4.99, launch on the 11th of December and try for a Book Bub ad shortly after to lead me to stardom in the Christmas Romance World.
Two of my books in the set are on desks around Hollywood being considered as 2019 Christmas Romance movies. The scripts are, at least, not the books themselves. I wrote screenplays to go with the books Christmas in Whistler and Christmas in Crystal Creek. And, as I type this, I'm working on the next one, Christmas in Snowflake Lake.

According to the Hallmark movies I watched in the last two days, my screenplays should get picked up and make PDQ. They are as good, if not better scripts and locations and premises.
If you are looking to get into the Christmas spirit and don't mind falling in love in a book, check out my new set, Christmas in Love which includes

Mistletoe, Stories & St. Jude's

The Holiday Season is upon us!
And that means lots of work for women who put together decorations, cookies, presents etc. What better way to relax and do something special for yourself than feeding your mind and heart with happily-ever-after Christmas stories? Get lost in a romance? Read a book that warms your heart?

Snuggle up by a fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa, burrow in to a mohair blanket and open this Christmas anthology by USA Today Bestselling and Award-Winning Authors.

My contribution to the anthology is Christmas in Crystal Creek, the story of a country singer trapped in a small town over Christmas who meets the town doctor and is convinced to give the ultimate Christmas gift to a child in need. The book was originally written as a screenplay to be considered as a Hallmark movie.

Every year I put together a box set for charity and this year, the anthology will be donating most of the proceeds to St. Jude Research Hospital where no child is denied treatment regardless of medical insurance. It's a wonderful cause and all ten of us are proud and excited to see how much money we raise for the hospital and research center. Aside from taking out the cost of advertising and the cover and other incidental expenses, everything goes to St. Jude's.

Every purchase is a donation.

October Newsletter from Kim

It's that time of year when the leaves are falling,  the fireplace crackles and we bundle in sweaters.  October. This year, I'm feverishly at work to bring lighthearted entertainment to my readers. We deserve it this year. Announcing ROMANCING the HOLIDAYS With New York Times Bestselling Authors, USA Today Bestselling Authors, and Award-Winning Authors, Romancing the Holidays is sure to make your hearts light and maybe even curl some toes with  romance. This has been a tough year for America. In an effort to provide some  happiness and light entertainment, I decided to put together a Box Set of Christmas Romance Stories.

A Portion of the Proceeds go to www.Cancer.org Kimmy's Korner You know I love to write about Hawaii... My contribution to this anthology of 12 novellas is Maui Kalikimaka, a 25,000 word novella, that guest stars Pepper from The Dream Jumper Series. It's the story of Lena Patterson and Kalani Shipton, who meet when they are both invited to spend Christmas on Maui with friends because of unfortunate circumstances. Single mom, Lena, is lonely and needs a good distraction this Christmas, seeing her ex-husband has the children. Kalani has been evacuated from his home on The Big Island as Kilauea's lava advances towards his residence. The two Kona residents met once before when Kalani had had more than his share to drink at a party and when Lena was very much still married. With his drinking days behind him, Kalani, the dashing coffee farmer, finds himself smitten with the other single house guest in the Maui beachfront mansion belonging to his friend and Pepper Scully's boyfriend, Jake.  Realizing he and Lena are made for each other, Kalani makes a sober effort to woo the pretty jewelry maker. But, Lena is cautious and not interested in getting involved with a playboy with a bad reputation. Especially because they'll return to the wagging tongues of a small town at the end of the Christmas holiday. And that is just ONE of the stories! Check out the other stories and our descriptions at: AMAZON Barnes & Noble Kobo iTunes The set is just 99 cents for 12 Feel-Good Christmas Love Stories!  And we included Holiday Recipes like cookies, fail-safe turkey & gravy and party appetizers! Non-Holiday/Christmas Info... I just got back from Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, this year held in Toronto Canada. Although I'm not a mystery writer, per say, rubbing shoulders with Blake Crouch, Mary Kubica, Shari LaPena, Louise Penny, Kathy Reichs, and hordes of other Bestselling Authors made me want to add more mystery to my books. I had the opportunity to be on a panel about Romantic Suspense with Heather Graham, the Paranormal Romantic Suspense Author, and that was wonderful. I loved that woman's floor length cheetah coat, probably as much as Alexandra Sokoloff loved a large gold necklace I wore at her talk about writing dark subjects. Toronto was fantastic and I even got to wear my movie producer hat for a meeting to get interest in Dream Jumper - The Movie. I went on a GHOST WALK in Toronto and while a college kid in a black cape with a lantern told ghost stories to us under our umbrellas, I realized how lucky Seattle is to have an underground tour and ghost hunt. We stood outside in the pouring rain looking at buildings thought to be haunted. It was fun to go out on a dark, rainy night to listen to ghost stories with a bunch of librarians, but I wanted something more authentic. I'd hoped to go  inside the buildings, at least get a little tap on the shoulder from the beyond. The highlight of the tour was this dog fountain that shone brightly  in the center of a dark park, from a block off. All the dogs of all breeds had  water coming from their mouths and were eyeing a bone at the top of the fountain. It was beautiful! And Now... For those dark, rainy evenings when you curl up by the fireplace with a good book. CIDER RUM PUNCH 8 fluid ounces of dark rum 3 fluid ounces of lemon juice 4 flued ounces of simple syrup (adjust to taste) 12 fluid ounces of apple cider 4 fluid ounces of water 4 fluid ounces of Club Soda 4 fluid ounces of Angostura Bitters Add apple wheels as a garnish For me, this month is all about promo for ROMANCING the HOLIDAYS with Crista McHugh, Jami Davenport, Kathi Daley, Misty Evans/Adrienne Girodano, Allie Boniface, Rebecca J. Clarke, Kim Hornsby, Tess Thompson, Savanna Grey, Lori Leger, Jacki Delecki and Carmine Valentine. We are hoping to achieve USA TODAY Bestselling  status, and keeping our fingers crossed. Enjoy October, everyone, with the gorgeous turning leaves, cooler  temps, sweater season and soups and stews on the stove.
