2019 is off to a wonderful start. I'm so excited about the feedback and reviews for my 2/12 release of The Secret Ingredient from Hallmark. 📷 Being on the Home & Family show is so neat, but having Debbie and Maria bake the cake from the book---AWESOME! I hope you'll try the recipe. It's in the back of the book...or you can download it here. <--Picture from the set of Hallmark Home & Family (2019). We're still in the top 100 of Clean & Wholesome books, and all the thanks for that go to y'all! Thank you for your support ~ for buying the books, and telling your friends about them. Keep it up! Big Booklover Hugs!! Haven't read it? Pickup your copy now. Enter to WIN a silly fun prize! In honor of GRAY...the micro pig in The Secret Ingredient, I'm giving away some wiggly piggly fun items. A funky key-chain that has a great LED light and oinks too (although I'll be honest it sounds more like a grumpy bark haha) and these adorable piggy ink pens. Not only are they cute, but they are fine point and write lovely! Seriously, if one of these arrived in your mailbox you know you would giggle and grin. We all need a little dose of that! MEET GRAY Everyone wants to know the inspiration behind giving my heroine a pet pig in The Secret Ingredient. Truth be told...while in Vancouver for the filming of Christmas Joy last year a couple of the gals from Crown Media and I were talking about dogs and the rescue pets from Hallmark. Jenn and Kate showed me a picture of a micro pig that paid a visit to their NY office. SOOOO CUTE!! All the gals were snuggling and smooching on him. I knew right then and there that my heroine needed a pig as a pet. What I didn't expect was the fun reason she got him, or that his name would be GRAY. If you've read the book you know what G.R.A.Y. stands for. If you haven't ... well get to reading and then you'll know why at the end of the story they rename the pig WHAY. Did you know? I create Pinterest boards for each of the books I'm writing. Okay, I make them for all kinds of other stuff, too, but if you're curious about the pictures that inspired me as I wrote any of my books, you can always take a look on Pinterest. Here's the link to the Pinterest board for THE SECRET INGREDIENT. Shhh-pssst: There's a new board up for the latest novel I'm working on too. ;) Look for the Pinterest page titled- NEW BOOK 2019. ONE LAST THING! Sand Dollar Cove has been optioned by Crown Media. Hooray!  This North Carolina set novel is a quick read that's as relaxing as a day at the beach. An option means they have bought the rights to make the movie. The script is in progress now, so stay tuned for more information as I get it. And..thank you for being a part of my journey! Without your support, none of this would be happening. Until next time... Hugs and happy reading, Nancy

You know sometimes I just need a brainless activity to relax. I love reading, but when I'm too tired to focus sometimes I love a pretty puzzle. Here's the link to the online puzzles of my book covers. I hope you'll find some fun and relaxation in the process. Some have lots of pieces, but some are super easy. https://www.jigsawplanet.com/nancynaigle Enjoy!

If you're like me, you love to experience new places in the books you read. A few years ago I took the vacation of a lifetime. Two weeks in Alaska. It was so beautiful, and I came home with a hundred new book ideas rattling around my brain. I couldn't wait to get home and get down to work. Until Tomorrow was born from that experience. It was so much fun to bring glass blower Ford Morton back to visit Boot Creek, NC from Alaska to find love. The question is will they stay in Boot Creek or move back to Alaska? I hope you'll join me on this adventure to find out. Available in trade paperback, audio and kindle format. The Kindle format is just 99c. Hurry! Order Now.

I'm so excited about my release this week of the accompanying novel to the Hallmark Original Movie CHRISTMAS IN EVERGREEN: LETTERS TO SANTA.

But a recent brush with online dating has made him realize Jenny Northcutt always has been and always will be his one perfect fit. He’s ready to do whatever it takes to win her back. Jenny Northcutt is a divorcee with an eight-year-old son, and no time or energy for romance. But when her mom moves to the small Georgia community where Teague is sheriff, she’s forced to come face-to-face with the man who first stole her heart. Unfortunately, he’s also the man who destroyed her belief in happily ever after when he married another woman. Ten years later, Jenny still can’t deny the spark between them, but this time more than her heart is at risk. Teague cooks up a plan to woo Jenny, but a local theft could cast doubt that Summer Shoals is a great place to live. He and Jenny join forces to solve the mystery that could ruin the Christmas holiday for everyone in town. Now Teague must once again keep a secret from Jenny. This time, will the past repeat itself, or will they find true happiness? #novella #christmas #nancynaigle #kelseybrowning #gteamseries #jennyandteague

RECIPE FAVORITES FROM SWEET TEA AND SECRETS (Available in print, digital, and audio) Welcome to Adams Grove...where the tea is sweet, but trouble is brewing. You’ll want to make this tea by the gallon, and please keep this recipe our little secret. Glass jugs make all the difference, and I swear a good one with a spigot is the best way to go. Something about the way the tea splashes in the glass over the ice is just a little miracle all to itself. The secret is all in the steep, ya see. Like anything that’s worthwhile, you have to give it the time to mature, to marry up and merge to its full potential. Love is like that ya know. Anyway, all tea has a temperature point of perfection, and you really have to get that water boiling if you want to get it right. Here we go! · Place 3 family-sized tea bags (or 10 regular-sized tea bags) into your glass jug. · Boil up a pot of water. (Be sure it’s less than a gallon of water because you’ll need to leave a little room for that cup and a half of sugar you’ll be adding!) · Once the water has come to a full rolling boil, gently pour that bubbling hot water right over your tea bags in the jug. · Steep for 3–5 minutes depending on how strong you like your tea. Me? I like mine nice and dark like a summer tan. I go for the whole 5 minutes. · Stir. This is important. Stir in one direction. You don’t want to unstir it, now, do you? · Remove the tea bags with a slotted spoon. · Now, swish in 1.5 heaping cups of sugar into the hot tea and stir until dissolved. · Top off the jug with some cold water or ice cubes. · Chill on the top shelf of your fridge. The colder the better. Enjoy y’all!
