Hey friends, HG you who've been with me since 2011 when I had my first book published, you know that I co-authored a cozy southern mystery series with Kelsey Browning. We lovingly called it The Granny Series, because the main characters are all over 50, female, and from the south. We also likened them more to Dirty Harry than your own grandmamas, and boy those books were fun to write. Well, that series has been re-covered and re-titled, so if you never did take the opportunity to read The Granny Series...I hope you'll pounce right on the freshened up version of the SEASONED SOUTHERN SLEUTH MYSTERIES. Some of our favorite southern recipes from my and Kelsey's recipe boxes tempt y'all in the back of each book, too. Now, that's what I call a bonus. As always...the first book, IN FOR A PENNY, remains FREE on Amazon, B&N nook, iBooks, Kobo, and GooglePlay. Don't stop there though, because these gals are in it for the long haul and they are so fun as they tackle different white-collar crimes while trying to maintain their friendship and the beautiful old estate belonging to Lillian. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll cheer these gals on! This series is also available in paperback and large print too. Read them all. Leave reviews. And share, share, share! Hugs and happy reading. Nancy

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Nancy Naigle here...and if you've read my books, then you know that I don't write scary books. I write sweet and wholesome small-town stories, and that's what I love to read too. A couple of years ago we were going through the final edits on my book Christmas Joy when it came to my attention that we had a problem that needed to be addressed. Unbeknownst to me, the festive town name that I'd made up for my holiday novel was already famous...for something not so joyful. I'd set my story in the town of Crystal Lake. I pictured a sparkling lake covered in ice surrounded by pretty green pines gently balancing snow on their branches with vibrant cardinals dotting the trees with color. Errhmm. And then I was told that Crystal Lake was home to Jason, the ever-famous horror flick icon of the Friday the 13th movies. Eeek! I had no idea! I'm a serious wimp when it comes to scary stuff, choosing to spend my time watching game shows, Food Network and Hallmark. I am so glad one of the other editors caught that link so I had time to quickly relocate my story to Crystal Falls, where my couple lives happily-ever-after. CHRISTMAS JOY will air on Hallmark Channel again this year on: Sunday November 10 10:00 AM Thursday November 14 12:00 AM Sunday November 24 8:00 AM Set your DVRs! CHRISTMAS JOY is available in trade paperback (pictured here), mass market paperback (above), audio, and all digital formats. Where can you get your copy today?

Enjoy this excerpt from CHRISTMAS ANGELS coming October 15th in trade paperback, all digital formats and audio, too! EXCERPT: Liz motioned for Dan to follow her to the kitchen island. “Look at this. I’m sure it’s my grandparents’ old place.” “You haven’t been back there in what? Twenty years?” Dan pulled the computer closer and looked at the listing. “Maybe fifteenish.” “Nice. Yeah. Wait. What are you thinking?” Dan lifted his gaze, then cocked his head. “You’re not seriously considering—” “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. Angels Rest is practically mine.” Excitement forced her words out in a flurry. “So, how do I do this auction thing?” “You don’t.” He closed the top of the computer, and handed her a barbecue sandwich. “Not without going to see the condition of the house and checking to make sure you’re not also buying old liens against the place.” “There’s no time. It goes up for auction in the morning. I’ve read through the FAQ’s, it doesn’t look that complicated. I need to get a proof of funds letter from my banker before I can bid though.” “You’re going to bid on this place sight unseen? I have to advise against it, Liz. That’s just plain crazy.” Dan ran a hand through his hair. “You’re always talking about situations being a ‘sign’; well, maybe this is a sign that you should let this crazy idea go once and for all.” “No. It’s not a sign to let it go. Finding out the day before Angels Rest goes up for auction is a sign it’s meant to be.” She scooted closer to him and opened the laptop again. “Look at these. The pictures don’t look so bad. Okay, so it’s overgrown, but that’s cosmetic.” “Pictures can hide a multitude of problems. Very expensive ones, and the fact that there are only three pictures total is a red flag, especially since only one shows the house. The other is an aerial. You have no idea what it looks like inside.” “It’s rustic. It’s a timber home, what could go wrong?” “Termites?” He had a point. “Well, the thing is still standing.” “You have no way of really knowing that without going and taking a professional with you to check it out.” Dan leaned against the counter. “Why are you so hell-bent on this idea? You’re good at what you do. You have a good life here. Why the heck would you want to move to the mountains?” “I loved spending time with my grandparents. The mountains are like an old friend to me. The nature. The quiet. I always thought I’d rent rooms out to people, and help them enjoy the area just like Gram and Pop. It was a good and pleasing way of life.” “You’d be bored out of your skull up there. No shopping. Probably no pizza delivery. You do love pizza.” “I can make my own pizza.” He cocked his head. “I could learn.” “You love your job.” “I wouldn’t say I love it. I’m good at it. But I could still do some projects if I get bored. I love that place. It’s why I’ve worked so hard and saved for so long. Every bonus, every raise—I’ve invested it all for this one dream.” Dan folded his arms. “So that’s why I couldn’t get you to look at a new house last year?” “Exactly. I told you. I have everything I need here. I’ve got money socked away for a new place.” She raised her eyebrows. “The right place. The one that I’ve had in my heart since as long as I can remember.” “But a person in your position should live in a much nicer house in a much better area of the city. Maybe you’d be happier here if—” “There’s nothing wrong with this house or my neighborhood. Or Angels Rest.” “I didn’t say there was. Your house will be an easy sell, but I just didn’t think you were really serious about a house in the mountains.” “You never listen to what I say.” Which was fine, really. It would be a different story if he were her boyfriend, but their relationship wasn’t like that. “I do listen. Kind of. I guess I just didn’t put two and two together.” “Well, call it four and help me, why don’t you?” He handed her a plate with barbecue, slaw, baked beans, and corn bread on it. “Do you know how much work a place like that could take?” “I can take a leave of absence to do the renovation. It won’t be much different from what I do on a daily basis, but instead of opening a mega-retail site I’ll be opening an inn. I can do contract work from up there and do both for a while until I build up a clientele.” “You really have thought this through.” “I’ve been dreaming of it for years, Dan.” She walked into the living room with her plate and plopped down on the sofa. “You just don’t get it. My grandparents owned this inn on the mountainside of Antler Creek. What are the odds of me finding this out the night before it goes on sale?” He sat down in one of the chairs and balanced his plate on his knee. “One in a million, I’m sure.” “Right. Each summer,” Liz said, “people came not just to Antler Creek, but to my grandparents’ inn for the fishing and fireside cookouts, and every winter they came for the skiing and Christmas festivities. The inn was known for the best Christmas lights around. You could see them from down in the valley. People came from miles around.” In her mind she was back there, bundled up and excited as people began to join together. “There were carriage rides up the mountain to see the lights up close. Gram would make hot chocolate and her secret-recipe cookies for visitors. I helped. It was magical.” Dan took out his phone and started typing. “And today the population in Antler Creek is eleven hundred twenty-nine, and twenty-five years ago the population was twelve hundred thirty-four.” So there wasn’t much growth. That was just year-round population. “A steady population,” she reasoned. “A stagnant one.” “It’s not about the population. Or maybe it is. Antler Cree is quaint. It’s the perfect place to relax. I loved spending time there.” “That was a long time ago, Liz. And you haven’t been back in years. What’s that say about it?” She shut her mouth. That was a fair point. “It broke my heart a little that my grandparents left it behind. I’d always assumed I’d take it over from them.” “What will your guests do with their time when they stay with you?” “All the things they used to. Enjoy nature. Fly-fishing. Antiquing. Hike to the waterfall. Pop led hikes and fishing excursions nearly every week.” Am I really brave enough to do this? “I guess the waterfall would still be there,” he said. “Are you going to take strangers on hikes in the woods? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.” “Why not? And fly-fishing on the stream was amazing in the summer. I used to be quite good at it.” He sighed. “You know I’m not going to wade out in cold water and fish, right?” She shrugged. This wasn’t about the two of them. He knew that too. “You can visit. I promise to have Wi-Fi.” His mouth tugged to the side the way it did when he was disappointed. “Be happy for me,” she said. “Please?” He sucked in a deep breath. “I’m still not saying this is a good idea, but if you’re going to do it be careful. The sale is as-is, where-is, so if you win, you’re stuck with it even if it’s a hunk of termite-ridden rubbish.” “I hear you. You’ve made your point, but I’m also stuck with it if it’s exactly like I remember, and that would be awesome.” She grinned so wide her lashes tickled her cheeks. “I head to Denver tomorrow night for my cousin’s wedding,” Dan said. “Are you sure I can’t talk you into coming with me instead? It’ll be a great party and a fun long weekend. Could save you six figures.” She’d declined the invitation weeks ago. “No thanks. I’ve got things to do around here that I’ve neglected the past couple of months while I was working in South Carolina.” She took in a long deep breath, crossed her fingers, and held them up. “Or I might own a new home.” He rolled his eyes, and shoved the last bit of barbecue into his mouth. “I’ll be back Tuesday. Keep me posted.” The next morning, Liz had met with her banker, submitted her proof of funds, and finished her entries on the auction portal with little time to spare before the auction began. Like Dan, her banker had given her a speech about buying a property at auction sight unseen. He hadn’t seemed any less concerned when she mentioned that she used to spend every summer and winter there as a kid, and that she had a good feeling about this. It might have sounded like an impulse purchase to him, but she’d been wishing, hoping, and planning for this for years. It was surely meant to be. It didn’t really matter what his personal thoughts were. This was her decision, and her money, and she had the proof of funds letter in hand. She was set.
