Have you ever received a holiday gift that just made your cringe? If so, let us hear it! I remember my mother telling me that one year my father got her a bath rug….and that was it…one year for Christmas.
Let’s make this a contest. I will leave the question open until around 8pm EST on Christmas Eve to draw a name from the posts/comments for a free pdf download of your choice of the Watchers series. Midnight Reborn (book one) or Midnight Rose (book two).
Open up and share. Let us feel your pain LOL.

My husband and I do not exchange gifts. I guess, after 19 years, we don’t look at it as any reflection of what we feel about one another if no gift is purchased. I personally look at it this way…If there is something I want…I go out and get it (within reason, of course).
This year I have taken care to get the kids a few items they wanted, but I have also kept my eye open for others around me and what they need. There is a family I know with young children and only one parent employed, though his hours have been cut. There is a guy at my work who does many chores outside, but does not have a coat, although he considers his hooded, flannel sweatshirt a coat. It is here my family and I have decided to focus our holiday attention…those who we know really need it.
Ok – I will get out of the deep end of the pool now and move to another topic along the lines of gift giving. What the heck do you give your dog or cat? Treats? Toys? I have so many toys lying around the house it isn’t funny (dog toys that is…don’t go letting your mind wander). And, treats? My bichon is so fat she really doesn’t need anything more to eat, LOL.
I do try to include the animals in the holiday spirit, though. The miniature horse and fainting goats will get some apples…and then I’ll have apples in return. I guess you can say we’ll have an apple exchange. *grin* A little farm humor for those who got it, he he.
What about you good folks out there? I’m sure you’ve been asked many times what you do for the holidays…so hopefully this one hasn’t been asked. What about your pets? Do you take them along on a holiday vacation? Do something special for them? Do they care? (LOL).
Maybe you could read them a good book! And do I have some suggestions for you! Why not let them hear the tale of vampires in Louisville, Kentucky, hunting Rogues and wondering why the heck Fate decided at that moment to toss some fresh meat of the female persuasion their way.
Check out two reads that’ll warm your heart and curl your toes. Oh yeah, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

Giving a shout out from North Myrtle Beach. Myself, my son, my daughter and her boyfriend are spending a few days soaking up the sun on the beach, and having a really good time.

Midnight Rose - The Watchers, Book Two has been accepted by Samhain Publishing. The book’s release is tentatively scheduled for November 2008.
Vane and Rosa’s story:
The countdown is on for Louisville, Kentucky’s fireworks show and the Watchers are in place. Rogue vampires, being the ultimate party crashers they are, are expected to join the revelry.
Rosa Bella has her own chaos to manage. The beautiful singer at the Black Panther Lounge, who just so happens to be a vampire blending in among society, has her world turned upside down
from the moment she meets Vane, the gorgeous Watcher assigned to patrol the streets of downtown Louisville, hunting and eliminating Rogues.
Vane, dubbed by his fellow Watchers as the Latin Lover, fills his nights with his favorite letter of the alphabet, “F” – females and food. But, now he finds more on his plate than waiting for
the Rogues to polish their fangs for a night out on the town. It seems trouble comes in threes when two unexpected players join the game, and thrust Rosa into the middle as the prize.
Rogue attacks, kidnapping, psychotic vampires and drug manufacturing worm their way into Vane and Rosa’s growing relationship, making the idea of romance and love anything but a bed
of roses.
As the city’s two week festival winds down to culminate with the big horse race, Vane and Rosa realize they must face the dangers together if they want to make it to the finish line.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Coffee Express-O, my fav place to sit and write/edit. Sure, I could sit at home and write while I try to ignore the yells at the ball game on the tv and the washing that I should probably be doing….
But why when’s there’s a place I can sit in peace and enjoy wonderful coffee? With their coffee club, you get to enjoy your never ending cup of coffee until you explode or fly out the window - whichever comes first. LOL. Besides, my coffee never tasted that good.
So, if you’re ever in downtown Charlestown, Indiana - stop in and enjoy some marvelous java!!
