December Newsletter

 

Hello Book Lovers:

We made it through Thanksgiving. If you celebrated, I hope you had a day filled with family, friends, and good food. I ate too much, did you? It’s the time of year when you throw caution to the wind, along with the scale, and enjoy the food prepared with love by our host/hostess.

New Release: Down Riverton Road. Thank you to all who have purchased a copy and given so much positive feedback. I appreciate each one of you. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, it’s available in paperback, kindle edition, and Kindle Unlimited at Amazon.com.

Summary: Down Riverton Road.

Divorced and disillusioned with relationships, Olivia Rustin moved from St. Louis to the Texas Hill Country. There she met Alec, a man who haunted her dreams long before leaving Missouri. Strange happenings inside her new home led to the discovery of a spirit. The apparition appears to Olivia and enlists her help in finding Alec’s brother, Wade, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The ghost directs Olivia to a hidden journal, which uncovers the hate-filled heart of a madman and provides clues for her mission to uncover long-hidden secrets. As she tries to unravel the puzzle, murderous eyes watch her every move. During her quest to locate Wade, Olivia finds a love which will change her life forever.

This is a story about the love between a man and a woman, family, and friends. It renews faith in destiny. Down Riverton Road follows Betty J. Crow’s successful debut novel, Blackthorne Cove. Available at Amazon.com. 

Surprise! It’s December. 

Is your tree up? Christmas cards addressed and mailed? Currently shopping? Or are you one of those who finishes early? Me? I have two presents ordered. Tree isn’t up, but I hope it will be this weekend. I really need to start on the cards. I bought stamps with the appropriate scene for the season.

What will you be serving? We’ll probably have a similar menu as Thanksgiving. The only difference will be ham instead of turkey and no pumpkin or sweet potatoes. I LOVE baking cookies. Hopefully, there will be a variety this year. Would you like a favorite recipe of mine? No baking required. If so, here it is:  

Rocky Mountain Snowdrops

Ingredients:

1 pound white chocolate

¾ cup creamy peanut butter

1 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

½ cup dry roasted peanuts

 Steps:

No baking required. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Remove it from the heat and allow the chocolate to cool slightly.

Stir in the peanut butter, cereal, marshmallows, and peanuts until well combined.

Drop the mixture by 2 tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.

Cool before serving.

Remember, books make wonderful Christmas gifts. Mine are listed on the sidebar. :)

Well, that's all for today, folks! Stay tuned. I'm planning a giveaway in January.
