I hoped I would be the first to post that picture of me “nabbing” Karen during the Faith, Hope & Love Christian Writers conference, but our posting days being what they are, she got to share before I could. Like Karen, I had a wonderful time in Phoenix, and while I have quite a few photos from the weekend, that one will remain my favorite. We laughed so hard.
There is something about being around other authors, people who have stories rolling around in their heads, that energizes me. I came home ready to write up a storm. I’m better than two-thirds done with the first draft of To Capture a Mountain Man, book #3 in The British Are Coming series, and it looks like I will be finished by the end of this month, much to my delight.
In the meantime, it is a little over four weeks until the release of Wishing for Mistletoe, and I cannot wait to share this sweet Christmas romance with you. Here’s what a few early readers have had to say:
[Hatcher’s] sweet love story is best enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate and a Christmas cookie or two—and if you can arrange a snowfall, that would be perfect. I finished this satisfying blend of love and hope against the quaint backdrop of Sanctuary Island with a smile on my face.” — Beth K. Vogt, award-winning author of Dedicated to the One I Love
Charming and delightful with all the feels you want in a Christmas novel, Wishing for Mistletoe is a must for your holiday reading.” — Rachel Hauck, New York Times Bestselling author
Hatcher inspires me to believe in happily ever afters. Wishing for Mistletoe is a true delight from beginning to ahh-inducing end.” — Kim Vogel Sawyer, bestselling author of Bringing Maggie Home
This sweet story of faith and family touched my soul. The obstacles against Tom and Ariel were real, but their faith and the Christmas spirit brought them together. Grab your mug of hot chocolate and enjoy this story!” — Lenora Worth, NYT bestselling author
Hatcher expertly weaves a gentle romance while exploring the role of faith in decisions both big and small. Grab a cozy blanket and snuggle up with this heartwarming, romantic tale!” — Denise Hunter, bestselling author of Before We Were Us
I’m giving away autographed paperbacks via a Goodreads Giveaway (US Mailing Address). The giveaway ends on the 27th of this month, and I plan to pop those signed copies into the mail as soon as I receive the names and addresses from Goodreads. Meaning the winners should receive their book a few days before the book releases on November 6th.
Question: Do you like to save Christmas books to read in November/December or do you enjoy reading them year round?
Until next time,
Robin

I read them all year through. After all, who doesn’t enjoy reading about snow and goodwill in the heat of July!
So true!
I really like to save them for the Christmas season, but I still enjoy them if I read them some other time!
I tend to save for the holidays too. But I don’t mind reading at other times.
I generally wait until fall to read Christmas books, which help usher in the Christmas season. I’m eager to read your book!
Thanks, Suzanne. Hope you enjoy.
I have needed some extra cheer this year. To help with that, I have been reading many Christmas books. So, to answer your question, I read Christmas stories all year. I have this book on pre-order and I’m very much looking forward to reading it! 🎄📚♥️
Thanks, Bridget. Glad books could give you extra cheer this year. Hope next year is better and brighter.
I like to read Christmas stories anytime!!
😃
I love saving Christmas books for Nov/Dec. This looks like one that needs to be on my list for this year! 🙂
I hope you read and enjoy, D’Ann. Thanks.
I read a few through the year. Sometimes my nerves crave a cozy holiday read. I also make sure I have a few to read at Christmas season as well.
😃
I confess I do love reading them after Thanksgiving. However this year the schedule for our holidays has changed so they may be reading them earlier this year.
😃
I enjoy them year round
Nov, Dec and Jan. are the months I read Christmas books
