Christmas, Christmas Time is Here

December 14, 2017 By Cara Putman

Christmas is around the corner, and I don't know about you, but I am in serious denial that we will be having a family Christmas celebration on Sunday. It simply doesn't seem possible that we're less than three weeks from a new year. Despite my denial, it's here.

Big and Small: Author Events For All

It’s Poinsettia time. Why do we love these plants so much?

December 6, 2017 By Lenora Worth

Happy December. Before I get started talking about poinsettias, I wanted to announce the winners from my last blog post. We talked about the novella collection Christmas Roses and I asked if you like roses. The comments were so sweet and touching, I picked two winners to receive a copy of the book: Shirley Chapel and Kay Garrett. Please e-mail me through my website: www.lenoraworth.com so I can … [Read more...]
