Merry Christmas! Welcome to the Christmas Round-Robin! At each author’s blog post, you will find a question that can be answered by checking out the free Amazon preview of their book.

Note: You must answer the questions for every author in the round-robin to be considered to win: First place is $250 Amazon gift card, second place is $150 Amazon gift card, third place is $75 Amazon gift card! At the end of my post is a link to the next blog, who will provide a link to the next blog, etc., to the very end.

With contemporary retellings of Sleeping Beauty (Upon a Dream by Andrea Boyd), Snow Preorder Crop White (A Snow White Christmas by Toni Shiloh), Cinderella (Christmas Ella by Angela Ruth Strong), and the Little Mermaid (A Splash of Love by Jaycee Weaver), I was in good company to write a Mulan-inspired tale (Claim My Heart).

Mulan isn’t as well-known as the other fairy tales, but she’s always been one of my favourites because of her loyalty and courage to put herself in an extremely uncomfortable and scary situation, all for the love of her father. Spinning this into a contemporary Christmas tale, however, wasn’t easy! Thankfully, I had already created a world to pull Li Na into (my Emerald City Romance series), and lo and behold! She found her happily ever after.

All the stories in this collection are incredibly unique. It was such an honor to write with and grow closer to Andrea, Toni, Angela, and Jaycee!

Let’s begin this scavenger hunt! Go to the book on Amazon at this link and open the “Look Inside” feature and start reading! What did Talia’s aunt make her for breakfast? When you have the answer, fill out this form and head on to the next blog!

Thank you so much for visiting! The next author on the tour is Pam Gree r, who is telling us all about her Christmas book The Old Fool. You can find it at this link: Christmas Scavenger Hunt Round Robin: The Old Fool. Remember that the round-robin will end on December 16th at 11:59 PM EST!

I’m SO excited that my author page recently hit over 500 followers! AND Count Me In just hit 100 reviews on Amazon! You guys! That just brings me joy. In addition, If She Dares, the novella previously released in the Once Upon a Laugh collection, has been released on its own as both an ebook and a paperback!

And in all my giddiness, I thought a giveaway would be a fun thing to have happen. SO BEHOLD! I present to you the Emerald City Giveaway!

Thank you, dear readers, for your support, encouragement, and PATIENCE as I continue to write (albeit slowly) the next story in the Emerald City Romance series. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.

I wrote this first series as an ode to my old (nearby) stomping grounds, Seattle. I love Seattle and all its beauty (both God-made and manmade), uniqueness, and presence. You have to visit one day, if you haven’t already! And while you’re there, you need to visit Vancouver because it’s just as unique as Seattle, despite how close they are to one another.
