.@VickiBatman - who can resist a RED handbag? Not me & not author Merry Holly #MFRWorg #fashion #accessories

I have to say I am thrilled when a guest shows up with a RED handbag. I adore RED. RED! RED! RED! and since RED is one of the Christmas colors...perfection.

*Handbag Monday*

Today, guest is Merry Holly (*finger across lips* aka Marian Lanouette), a Season of Magic fellow author. Let's take a peek into her background:

Unbeknown to her parents, at the age of five, Merry Holly, started reading the New York Daily News story about the murdered nurses in Chicago and the investigation. Marian followed the story every day as authorities rushed to solve the brutal crime. To this day, she stills checks her closet before going to sleep.

Wow, Merry, no wonder you write in that other genre.

I’m one of ten kids, and I was taught to look for a bargain. I also have a penchant for Leather, no, no no…not like that. I love good leather bags and shoes.  One day while out outlet shopping with my niece, I happened upon this red leather beauty. To my amazement it was 70% off the regular price. What happened next really made my day—the saleslady handed me a coupon for 25% off the sales price. Well, I didn’t think twice, I grabbed up this beauty, hugging to my chest and ran, not walked to the checkout counter.

Oh, did I also mention that red is one of my favorite colors.

Merry, why didn't you buy one for me??? It's gorgeous. And did I mention I love red?

Merry Holly has written a delightful story for the Season of Magic anthology entitled Noel Noel Noel. Let's take a peek at the blurb:

Dumped and lonely, is it possible to find love at the local mall? Noelle thinks not, but a chance encounter with Chase Clayborne while Christmas shopping has her rethinking her rigid set of rules, as sparks flare between them. 

Adorable--right?

Thank you so much, dear, for showing off your RED bag today!

.@VickiBatman - A happy holiday gift for you #MFRWorg #RLFblog

Every year, I travel to a small town for their Christmas Candlelight Home Tour. We visit historical homes that have been decorated for Christmas. After my friends and I tour the homes, we go to the park. It sits in a square surrounded by very old houses and a church. Quite picturesque. 

Here's the entrance with two soldiers standing by:

My sister introduced me to a very short holiday movie produced by Warner Bros, Star in the Night. This is my gift to you:

The last Day!! Celebrating Romance Books this Holiday Season, the Mistletoe Hop #MFRWorg #RLFblog

This year, Merry Holly, Cara Marsi, Gerri Brousseau, Bobbi Lerman and I collaborated on a holiday boxed set, The Season of Magic. So to tickle your fancy, I thought I'd share a bit from the first kiss from A Cinderella Christmas by Cara Marsi ~ 

Jessica Gallo no longer believed in fairy tales or happy endings. And she certainly didn’t believe she’d find her Prince Charming at Saks Fifth Avenue. Her Fairy Godmother thought differently.

Stephen’s eyes darkened and he bent toward her. “Jessica,” he said on a husky whisper.

She dropped the bag and moved closer.

He kissed her slowly, tentatively. When she pressed against him and returned the kiss, his lips firmed over hers.

Jessica heard a bell ringing and her toes curled. Magic surrounded them.

This year, Merry Holly, Cara Marsi, Gerri Brousseau, Bobbi Lerman and I collaborated on a holiday boxed set, The Season of Magic. So to tickle your fancy, I thought I'd share a bit from the first kiss from Noel Noel Noel by Merry Holly ~ 

Dumped and lonely, is it possible to find love at the local mall? Noelle thinks not, but a chance encounter with Chase Clayborne while Christmas shopping has her rethinking her rigid set of rules, as sparks flare between them.
  

It took twenty minutes to say good-bye to everyone.  Everyone had to hug and kiss her.  It was dizzying.  Her family never showed affection, nor had Ken's.  Minutes later, Noelle found herself alone in the dark parking lot, pinned between Chase and her car.  Not that she minded.  His body threw off so much heat she hardly noticed the frigid air piercing her skin through the thin dress.  Shivering, at a loss for words, she leaned deeper into him. 

"You're cold.  Do you want to leave your car here, and drive with me?" He pointed to the black SUV running on the other side of her car. "It's already warm."

"Where are we going?"

"I'd like to say my place." He grinned. "But I was planning on Roberto's.  Do you like steak?"

"Yes, I'll meet you there.  I live on that side of town."

"It's not a very big town.  I think I can manage to take you back here after dinner.  Come on, get in my truck before you freeze to death." He pulled the lapels of her coat closer around her, his mouth a mere breath from hers.

Sucking in the freezing air, she forgot to let it out.  Dizziness, warmth and then hot boiling fire shot straight through her.  His breath warmed her lips as he spoke. "I think we need to get in the truck before we have an audience."

Dropping her lapels, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her to his truck.  At the truck he opened the door.  Heat rushed out washing over her as he helped her in.  The hot air made her body shiver uncontrollably.

December 20: Celebrating Romance Books this Holiday Season, the Mistletoe Hop #MFRWorg #RLFblog

This year, Merry Holly, Cara Marsi, Gerri Brousseau, Bobbi Lerman, and I collaborated on a holiday boxed set, The Season of Magic. So to tickle your fancy, I thought I'd share a bit from the first kiss from Matchmaker Matchmaker by Bobbi Lerman ~ 

With Chanukah around the corner, is there enough magic left for a matchmaker to bring Molly's cynical heart back to life.
 

Ben pushed the button for the elevator. It was empty. They quickly stepped in and Ben hit the button for the eleventh floor. "I thought we'd take a ride before hitting the party," he said and pulled her into his arms as the doors closed. "Have I told you how stone cold amazing you look tonight, Molly?" He cradled her face with his hands, and kissed first her left cheek and then her right. "You take my breath away," he whispered and then took her mouth in a mind-numbing kiss. 

Molly felt herself turning to liquid. Sighing, she reached up and threaded her fingers through his hair, holdng on, wishing for this moment to last forever. 

And here's a second tease from Yuletide Bride by Gerri Brousseau ~ 

The Dowager Duchess’s decree that her grandson must marry before Twelfth Night or relinquish his title and fortune sends him into a tail spin. Without any prospects and with only two weeks until Christmas will Stuart Nelson find himself destitute or will he find The Yuletide Bride.

          “His Grace, Lord FitzGerald, the Lady FitzGerald, and Ladies Brianna and Claire FitzGerald,” the butler’s announcement drew Stuart out of his thoughts. His gaze rose tiredly to the top of the staircase. It wasn’t until Lord and Lady FitzGerald descended the first few steps that he got his first glimpse of Lady Brianna.
          Her copper colored hair was piled up upon her head, but unruly curls had escaped the coiffeur. Ribbon that matched her deep green gown was woven through her curls and accented with pearls. Stuart’s heart hammered against his chest and he struggled to breathe. The strains of music and the buzz of conversation seemed to slip away. She’s the loveliest creature I have yet to encounter. Were I to select any of those set before me this night, it would surely be her.
          The family stood speaking to his grandmother, but Stuart’s gaze was frozen upon Lady Brianna. His father’s voice broke his trance. “Allow me to introduce my son, Stuart, The Marquess of Winescroft.”
          “A pleasure, Lord FitzGerald, Lady Fitzgerald,” Stuart said.
          “This is our daughter, Claire,” Lord FitzGerald said gesturing to his right, “And this is Brianna,” Lord FitzGerald drew the girl to stand at his side.
          There eyes met, hers green and sparkling with her smile. Stuart’s mouth went dry. All he could manage to muster was a slight nod.
          “Milord,” the girl said in a tender voice that held the same melodic lilt as her father’s.
          Stuart took her hand in his and bowing slightly, he brought it to his lips. Finally finding his voice he said, “It is my great pleasure to make your acquaintance, Milady.”
          A slight shade of pink stained her cheeks, but the blush only enhanced her beauty.
          “I would be delighted if you would honor me with a dance this evening,” Stuart said.
          “It is I who would be honored, Milord,” she replied.
          Her voice is like music. Her accent is completely charming.
          “I shall greatly look forward to it,” Stuart replied.
          The butler announced yet another family, but Stuart didn’t hear a word that was said. His attention was focused on Lord FitzGerald’s family making their way into the ballroom.

December 19: Celebrating Romance Books this Holiday Season, the Mistletoe Hop #MFRWorg #RLFblog

Welcome to the Mistletoe Hop! Are inundated with the holidays right now? I'm gearing up for Wrap-a-thon and then, am pretty much done. My secret is--don't tell--I shop all year round. I love traveling to new places and finding things I wouldn't find at home.

This year, Merry Holly, Cara Marsi, Gerri Brousseau, Bobbi Lerman and I collaborated on a holiday boxed set, The Season of Magic. So to tickle your fancy, I thought I'd share a bit from the first kiss from my romantic comedy, "Holiday Disaster":

His head tilted up to the heavens above. Water drenched his hair and cascaded over his face. A drowned rat would have looked better. He said, "This is not good for my cold."

I tried hard not to laugh. "As they say when it rains, it pours."

He wiped his face clean with a downward swipe. "Very funny."

"When you aren't substituting for your brother, what do you do?"

"I'm an IRS lawyer."

Which explained the "dealing with idiots" and liars and the business clothing.

“Why were you always saying women?”

His head tilted to the right. “Oh. I heard it in a movie and applied it to you.”

“Not so endearing.”

“No. Sorry.” A long pause passed. "I'm thinking of investing in a raincoat and maybe a few more suits if I'm going to keep seeing you," he commented. "Now will you let me in before I get pneumonia?"

His keep seeing me phrase made me grin. I grasped his hands and pulled him inside. He tossed the box toward the sofa and wrapped his arms around my body, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

I placed my hands on his chest and let his piney scent and wet body envelope me. Lifting my chin while rising to my toes, and despite the possibility of catching his cold, I set my mouth to his. Guess all our tension was released as we kissed like tomorrow would come too soon. Good thing I’d had a flu shot.

When we broke apart, he said, “Wow, mama.”

Wow is right. Funny how a little water changed everything. I laughed.

Tilting back to study the new man in my life, I saw he had a sparkling gleam in his eyes, one that tripped and flitted and made my heart go squee.

.@VickiBatman - on Food=Good, author Karilyn Bentley shares a special cookie recipe & a new book #MFRWorg #bakingchristmasgoodies

Plotting Princess, Karilyn Bentley, has a new release--Demon Lore!

And she's sharing a recipe, too for

Food = Good

Hi Vicki! Thank you so much for letting me be on your blog today to talk about my newest release, Demon Lore. 

'Tis the season for sweets and these cookies hold a special place in my heart. My friend's grandmother used to make them for us when I was a child. We'd go to visit and she would bake us these cookies as we'd play. When I got older, I asked for the recipe and she was kind enough to give it to me. To me, they taste more like molasses cookies than gingerbread ones, but I love molasses. And gingerbread. Okay, pretty much any sweet. <g>

Gingerbread Cookies by Mrs. Maggie W.

7 1/2 cups flour
1/2 + 1/8 cup Crisco
2 cups molasses
2/3 + 1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
2 1/2 tsp ginger
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
7 1/2 tsp baking powder
Black raisins, candied cherries or almonds if wanted

Mix, chill at least 2 hours. Slightly flour board (to keep dough from sticking) and roll out dough. Cut and place on a slightly greased cookie sheet. I use a gingerbread man cutter. Bake at 250 for 5 to 7 minutes.

Enjoy!!

 Gin Crawford has enough problems dealing with her empath abilities. Finding out she's the world's newest demon-slayer is the last thing she needs. Unfortunately, when she slips on a mysterious bracelet she is given no other choice. On the plus side, her new gig comes with Tall, Dark and Handsome, a mage who may or may not have her best interests at heart. Thrust into a power-play between good and evil, Gin must choose a side before she becomes the next victim in the ongoing battle.

Dec. 13-16: Santa Baby Blog Hop stops here! with Season of Magic authors #MFRWorg #RLFblog #Christmasgoodies

Welcome to the hop. Our hostesses for the day are: Merry, Cara, Gerri, Bobbi, and Vicki. 

When asked who would write our post, Gerri jumped up and down, her arm flailing with an "I do! I do."

"Santa Baby – put a sable under the tree for me. I’ve been an awfully good girl, Santa Baby. Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's not a lot."

I get such a kick out of this song and it has always been one of my favorites. She has quite a list of items she would like to have Santa leave under her tree. This reminds me of the time that my then fiancé was playing Santa for a group adult party. He and I had been living together and planned to wed the following year. At this certain event, “Santa” had a bag with a gift for everyone. I went to the party with my “wish list” in hand and when it was my turn to sit on Santa’s knee, I was ready. I took my seat and put an arm around Santa’s shoulder. 

“Hi Santa,” said I. 

“Hello there,” he said. 

I leaned closer and whispered, “Santa, I’ve been a very naughty girl this year.” 

“I know,” he said. “That’s why you’re getting everything you want.” And he snatched my list from my hand. 

Now every time I hear that song, I think of the scene at this party and it brings a smile to my lips. 

I hope that Santa brings you everything you want this year, but in the meantime why not treat yourself to a special holiday treat? Season of Magic (Holiday Box Set) features five authors, three novellas and two short stories all of holiday theme. With four Christmas stories and one Chanukah tale that will all warm your heart for the holidays.

.@VickiBatman - #Movie Mom has another round of classic holiday films #MFRWorg #RLFblog #Holidaymovies

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my favorite holiday films--just a few of them. I could have gone on and on. 

* Movie Mom *

So here's a few more:

George Bailey has given up his dreams in order to help others, but when he contemplates suicide, a shows him all the lives he has touched and how different life in his community of Bedford Falls would be had he never been born. Stars Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. Not initially a critical success, but is definitely important in showing how we impact other people. My favorite line is "To my big brother, George. The richest man in town."

Home Alone: an eight-year-old boy is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation and has to deal with two incompetent. MacCauley Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern star in this film by John Hughes.

This time, Kevin, who is alone in NYC while his family is in Miami, foils the Wet Bandits' plan to rob a toy story. Not a favorite of the critics; however, my boys loved it.

A young boy home with chicken pox outwits four international criminals after a computer chip housed in a toy car. The gang of goons are hilarious. 

When a writer is "persuaded" by her publisher to host Christmas at her farm for a sailor, she takes drastic steps to cover her tracks. Barbara Stanwyck plays the writer and Sydney Greenstreet is her outrageous publisher.

To overcome being dumped by his love and dance partner, an entertainer opens a club only available on holidays. Starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire with songs by Irving Berlin.

May your days be filled with fun and forever-after. Hugs!

.@VickiBatman - Who is showing off her handbag? Why author Bobbi Lerman! #fashion #accessories #MFRWorg

Handbag Monday--er--Wednesday! Welcomes author Bobbi Lerman whose work is featured in the Season of Magic anthology.

*Handbag Monday*

 

This is my favorite spring and summer bag. I love the vibrant colors that look like they are painted onto the leather. I found this particular handbag at Marshall's. The tag said the original price was $229.00. It was marked down on clearance to $29.00. I snatched it up and hoped all the way through the check out, it wasn't a mistake. It wasn't. 

Yipee, Bobbi! I actually looked at something similar at Marshall's after my sisters had bought theirs. It was more like a tote. I'm very jealous. AND what a great deal!

 

Hopes and wishes. And holiday kisses...the Season of Magic.
Wrap yourself in the holiday spirit with five romantic stories filled with fun and forever after.

 

Bobbi's story in Season of Magic is Matchmaker, Matchmaker - With Chanukah around the corner, is there enough magic left for a matchmaker to bring Molly's cynical heart back to life?

Intriguing--right?

 Thank you, Bobbi, for being with me today on Handbag--er--Wednesday!

.@VickiBatman ~ A Season of Magic author, Gerri Brousseau, with her beloved handbag #MFRWorg #RLFblog #fashion

Welcome to another handbag from the Season of Magic, a holiday anthology, from author Gerri Brousseau.

Handbag Monday

Gerri Brousseau resides in Connecticut with her pug, Mimi, and their cats, Harry and Louise. Besides writing, she enjoys cooking and spending time with her 2-year old grand-daughter. Gerri's greatest wish is to meet J.K. Rowling. 

Here's what Gerri has to say about her handbag: Although I'm more of a shoe person, I have to admit that this is one of my favorite little handbags. It’s a Dooney and Bourke. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I know it’s strictly a summer bag, but it’s so playful and really reflects my mindset of summer. I simply couldn’t resist it. 

I walked into the store and there it was. It was love at first sight. So taken was I by this instant attraction that I tried to ignore it. I meandered around and pretending to be interested in something else, but it kept calling to me. I put it on my arm and strolled around the shop for a while, you know, to get the feel of the bag. It was a match made in heaven. 

This little summer bag is a few years old, but it remains my favorite. Each spring, I take it out with eagerness, and each autumn, I put it away with a tinge of sadness and a promise to renew our relationship in the spring.

Wow, Gerri, sounds as if this is a handbag match made in heaven.

Gerri's story in Season of Magic is Yuletide Bride  - The Dowager Duchess’s decree that her grandson must marry before Twelfth Night or relinquish his title and fortune. Without any prospects and with only two weeks until Christmas, will Stuart Nelson find himself destitute or will he find The Yuletide Bride?

Intriguing--right?

#Movie Mom: The Saving Private Ryan of tanks - FURY #MFRWauthors #RLForg #PlottingPrincesses

Handsome and I settled in our chairs at the theater, and I remarked, "I don't think I've seen a war movie since Monument's Men." 

And then Fury began.

#Movie Mom 

Blurb: The film opens in April, 1945.  A battle-hardened sergeant in the 2nd Armored Division commands a tank called "Fury" and its crew to hold significant crossroads until the U.S. arrives.

Fury was written and directed by David Ayer, starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Peña, Jason Isaacs, and Scott Eastwood. 

My Thoughts: This movie was so awesome and had me wound up. I had to take long deep breaths after it concluded because of being so tense. The camera work is up close and very personal. I lived with each character. Kudos to the cast for their acting. The setting was spot on. The Nazis bad. The tank-incredible.

I wouldn't miss this one if you love war movies. It's hard, real, scary, action-packed. Well done.

"Best job I ever had."

FMI: Fury
