Great Stocking & E-Reader Stuffers
Of course, if you haven’t yet discovered one (or all) of my books yet, I hope you take the time to do so this holiday season.
A portion of net proceeds of all of my books go to the charities outlined on my Charity Support and Awareness page.
All three titles are Amazon Best Sellers with 4.5-5 star ratings, making excellent gifts for yourself or loved ones.

Giving Thanks and Sharing the Bounty
A huge thank you to everyone who shared the news and purchased versions of my books last week in support of the charities. The books sold in all formats during the week totaled 171, resulting in just over $400 in net proceeds going toward the charities. Your enthusiasm and support for me and the incredibly worthy causes is greatly appreciated.
Have a safe and wonderful time this holiday season. Bring an unexpected smile to someone. Give when and where you can.
Escape the craziness of reality with a good book! Or a few!
And help us all find other fabulous books!
What books will you be gifting to yourself and others?
