Happy Hot Toddies!

Happy hot toddies. Another Christmas Eve has arrived. The tree is up, the wreath is hung, and the shopping is done. December 24th is my favourite day of the holidays. For me, it’s the calm before the storm; a quiet day to enjoy with a warm toddy, a soft dog and fluffy blanket in front of the fire.

And as the seasonal gatherings roll on, and we exchange holiday cheer with our friends and family, I’m reminded how very fortunate I am, and for that, I am grateful.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your encouragement, laughter and support over this past year.

From our home to yours, here’s wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas, and a healthy and happy 2016, and many hot toddies.

If you’re looking for a book to enjoy during the calm before the storm, you can gift yourself Secret sky with one click right here. And if ebooks or Amazon aren’t your preference, other purchasing options are available under the Bookstore tab.

    I’m looking after a friend’s two dogs, so I’m experiencing the soft dog right now. Funnily enough, the girls look pretty much like yours 🙂

      Lucky you! There’s nothing quite like the quiet company of a dog (or two).

    Dear Jo-Anne, I wish you perfect holidays, chance to recharge and enjoy the peaceful environment between visitors and parties if you’re attending some! Most importantly, I wish you good health, lots of energy, lots of joy, happiness and good spirits to move on with writing, as well as inspiration to write new books and stories! Inese
