I simply ADORE autumn! I'm one of those nuts who starts buying Halloween and Fall decorations as soon as they're out in the stores, usually by July. Each year I try to get at least one thing Snoopy related, be it a windsock or figurine. And BEST of all? The first day Pumpkin Spice Lattes are available at Starbucks--oh my YUM! Usually by the time they arrive in early September, I've hauled out all my fake leaves and apple candles and other goodies at home. 

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! COMMENT AWAY!

Keep hopping!

On the 4th Day of Christmas...CONTEST!


Welcome to those of you that found your way here from my post at the HEA blog. Sorry my post is up late...it's been one of those days!

Charlie Brown and Snoopy are enduring favorites from my childhood. Some might even say I have an unnatural love of all things Snoopy-related, though I would argue vigorously with those people. At both Halloween and Christmas, I tune in to watch the Charlie Brown specials on TV, though I've seen each hundreds of times. The added bonus of the Christmas special is that it usually falls near my birthday, so I also associate it with that.

Charlie Brown's Christmas special brings with it the iconic image of that small, sparse tree that's barely hardy enough to hold a few ornaments. A co-worker at my old job had one he brought in every year and it was always good for a few laughs. Add in the caroling and the Christmas play, and A Charlie Brown Christmas truly is a feel-good relic of the past that is still relevant and appreciated today.

I'll admit to being a sucker for Christmas stories, both in books and in movies. That's part of the reason I chose to write my upcoming holiday release, No Romance Required, book three in the Love Required series, coming this winter from Entangled Publishing. I don't have a cover to show off yet, but I've seen the mock-up and whew! *fans face*

Christmas was the perfect backdrop for No Romance Required because the heroine, Vicky, experienced some traumatic events in her life around the holidays and they've colored her life ever since. Add in a sometimes Scrooge-y hero, Cory, who actually loves Christmas, and lots of sparks and voila, you definitely have the makings of a holiday to remember!

Since I can't show off the blurb yet for No Romance Required, check out the blurb and excerpt for book two, No Flowers Required.

Today I'm giving away four Christmas goodies, including one featuring Snoopy!

 So, readers, what's your favorite Christmas special?
(PLEASE leave your email address or way to contact you if you're the winner!)

(All of the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways go through midnight ET Sunday, Nov. 25. Winners will be announced on Monday, Nov. 26.) 

 And be sure to come back to HEA every day this week (and beyond) to catch posts and giveaways by your favorite authors.
