...and perfect for all readers from tweens to seniors. Hope at Christmas, as seen on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, has just been released for the first time in mass-market paperback.

Nancy Naigle's Hope at Christmas is a heartwarming Christmas story that proves you can always go home again… Sydney Ragsdale is looking for a fresh start far after a divorce. Returning to her childhood home in Hopewell, North Carolina, is just what her soul needs. Praying some Christmas magic will follow her, Sydney moves with her daughter to a farmhouse that once belonged to her grandparents. Soon, she finds solace working at The Book Bea, her favorite bookstore. Single dad Kevin MacAlee is the local high school history teacher and baseball coach. “Mac” is also the town’s best-kept secret: he has been playing Santa since his son was born twelve years ago. Mac loves the enchantment of the season and wants his son to share in his joy. When a catastrophe forces The Book Bea to close before the end of the year, everyone in Hopewell is feeling the loss. Can they all come together and reclaim the holiday spirit…and find a way to move forward toward their dreams?

I can't wait to hear your favorite switch-ups, and missing pieces. Let me hear from you...and tell your friends about this story too.

Grab the last of those vine-ripe tomatoes and TREAT YOURSELF! This recipe was inspired by RECIPE FOR ROMANCE, a short 20,000 word novelette. Set in the picturesque town of Romance, Virginia (a town readers helped the authors of Main Street Romance build!), this story is set in the summer when the tomatoes are at their peak. No surprise that Emma, the librarian, has baked this dish to take to book club. I hope you enjoy the recipe! TOMATO PIE Ingredients Deep dish pie crust 4-5 tomatoes, peeled and cut into slices ¼ cup of chopped basil ½ cup chopped red onion 1 cup grated mozzarella 1 cup grated cheddar ¼ cup grated parmesan 1 cup mayonnaise Salt and pepper Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Bake the pie crust or ten minutes to keep the shell from becoming soggy. Remove the pie crust from the oven and set aside. 3. Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for 10 minutes, then blot with a paper towel. 4. Layer drained tomato, basil, and onion in pie shell. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise together. Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned cheesy crust forms. 5. Cut into slices and serve warm. DOWNLOAD THE BOOK: Amazon B&N Kobo iBooks

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I do love Budweiser® commercials. From the amazing Clydesdales to those frolicking freaky frogs their television spots have made me laugh and cry. I'm sure I'm not the only one who watches the Super Bowl just to see what they'll come up with next! But my all-time favorites are the Puppy Love and Lost Puppy commercials. Airing during the Super Bowl in 2014 and 2015 that handsome hardworking horseman, and his sweet little pup have played on my mind for years. Five years to be specific! Don’t remember those commercials? Hop on over to YouTube and refresh your memory. As an author that means that idea was bound to become a tiny gem that might turn into a book one day. I'm excited to share that finally next Tuesday the book inspired by those commercials will debut. Full disclosure, there are no Clydesdales in this book, but my hunky hero does raise and train Percheron horses--an equally beautiful draft breed. I chose the latter because there’s a local Percheron farm near me here in North Carolina, so why not give those shiny black horses a little claim to fame too? This story is set against a rural backdrop where the townsfolk are as colorful as the shiny ornaments on the giant town Christmas tree. This is more than your average romance because I’m treating you to not only one love story, but two. Go order your copy right now so you’ll have this in your hands on release day morning. AMAZON BAM!
