My Favorite Time of the Year

As we enter this joyous time of the year, our minds often fill with memories of Christmases long ago.  The happy memories of baking our favorite Christmas treats, preparing gift baskets for the less fortunate and opening our front door to see carolers singing our favorite Christmas songs. The treasured memories of Christmas mornings when we gathered together as a family around the Christmas Tree and watched the joy on everyone's face as they opened their brightly decorated packages.  Christmas is a magical time.  Sharing our love with others and reaching out to those in need.

As I write this post, our Christmas Tree is shining brightly, filling my heart with those treasured memories.  When I close my eyes, I see my mother busily preparing all the treats we came to expect each Christmas.  My mother always went all out for Christmas.  During the month of December, if you came to our house you'd find your favorite Christmas treats placed on crystal serving plates, waiting for you to enjoy.  The house was always festively decorated and she always made sure Christmas music was playing in the background during the day, and at night we would watch the same Christmas shows we had watched the year before... and yes, I often cried.

These memories are what inspired my Novella, Saying Goodbye: The Christmas Gift.  I poured my heart and soul into the story as I came to terms with painful issues in my life.  So often we bury the pain we feel over events in our lives. So much so that we allow them to keep us from truly enjoying the precious gifts life has waiting for us.  Writing this fictional story allowed me to put to rest some issues in my own life.  I hope it touches your heart and allows you to do the same.

Saying Goodbye: The Christmas Gift is no a story of loss.  It's a story of hope and love.

Available on Amazon for only 99 cents
and with Kindle Unlimited

It's all coming together now

I'm so excited about this book.  I already have it available on Amazon in paperback, and it will be available for ebook Pre-Order on November 1st and will go live December 1st.  I'm so thrilled by the feedback I've gotten so far.  It even has 2 reviews already on Amazon.

4-Stars  This is a wonderful story of a woman's Christmas with her family, with its subsequent loss, gain, and heartwarming understanding of Life, and Death. A highly recommended read.

5-Stars  Linda, is a very talented writer. I enjoyed the book so much l could not put it down. I could picture every single word in my mind as l was reading it. Will be reading more of her books.

I'm also working hard on finishing the audiobook that will be a FREE gift for those who purchase the ebook.  

I'm getting excited!

As I stated in my last post, I have a new release coming out soon.  I've been working on getting everything ready, so I'm excited to announce it will be available for Pre-Orders soon.

I've also decided to add a special gift for those who buy the ebook version of Saying Goodbye.  I know how much people enjoy audiobooks, but I also understand how expensive they can be.  I've decided to create a bundle deal by including an audiobook copy of Saying Goodbye with the purchase of each ebook.

Wow, how exciting is that? Not only will you get the ebook and audiobook for one price, but I plan to offer the bundle for ONLY $2.99 during the Pre-Order on Amazon.  Of course, once it goes live, the price will go up.  I'll let you all know when it's available for Pre-Order so you can get the bargain price.

You'll laugh and cry

I'm so excited to share the cover for my upcoming release, Saying Goodbye.  It's a sweet Christmas novella of how sometimes the most valuable gift we can receive is to learn how to say goodbye.  I plan to make it available soon on Amazon as a Pre-Order and I'm thinking about offering a free audio version for those who purchase it before its release date.

I had so much fun writing this story.  I woke up one morning with the main character, Molly telling me her story.  So, I sat at my trusty laptop, and 2 1/2 days later it was off to the editor.  I have to admit that while writing this novella, I found myself laughing and crying because of the wonderful story these characters have to share.  My editor and proofreaders have said it had the same effect on them.

I know it will be a story that will touch your soul and fill your heart with the Christmas spirit.

I hope you will help spread the word of this sweet Christmas Novella.
