Merry Christmas! Welcome to the 2021 Christmas Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt! Here’s how it works: At each author’s blog post, you will find a question that can be answered by checking out the free Amazon preview of their book. Provide the answer at this form. Note: You must answer the questions for every author in the round -robin to be considered to win the $250 first place, $150 second place or $100 third place Amazon gift cards. These prizes are USD values. If you are not a U.S. resident, you will get a gift card from the Amazon store for your country; however, it will be valued at these USD amounts.) At the end of my post is a link to the next blog, who will provide a link to the next blog, etc., to the very end, creating a circle (a round-robin) visit through all of the authors’ blogs. Always and Forever I’m pleased to feature Always and Forever for this  event. Several generations ago, my ancestors came from Sweden to America. They arrived in Minnesota, looked around and said, “Ja, hey, dis looks just like home.” They settled down, ran dairy farms and built Lutheran churches. No one left. Minnesota is a Read More

It’s time for a Christmas story in our Ever After Mysteries series, and Chautona Havig always writes the best Christmas stories! Her The Nutcracker’s Suite released on November 26, and to celebrate it, the Ever After authors are doing another of our fun little blog hops! We’re all wondering… Who broke the nutcracker? Click HERE to see the first story.   “It was a nutcracker, not the Hope Diamond.” The hairdresser stopped, scissors in mid-air, and blew a bubble. It was nearly the size of a tennis ball before she sucked the gum back into her mouth and resumed chewing. I leaned away, all too familiar with the hazards of mixing bubble gum and long hair. “But it was my nutcracker,” I said, “and it was important to me. It was a Christmas gift from my friend, Chautona. She’ll notice I’m not displaying it, and she’ll be crushed.” “Cracked,” Trixie said. She snorted. “Not crushed.” I gave her a look and sat up straighter. If she wasn’t such a good stylist, I’d have found someone else years ago. Fortunately, she never tried to talk me into emulating her own ever-changing styles. I’d look ridiculous in pink spikes or a platinum Read More

The Lost Dutchman’s Secret I’m pleased to announce that Book #5 in the Ever After Mysteries, The Lost Dutchman’s Secret by Rebekah Jones, is now available! To celebrate, the authors in the series have written a mini blog hop. A pair of villainous treasure hunters are trying to find Rebekah’s missing map. I don’t have it! At least… not anymore. Start the story HERE with Celebrate Lit Publishing, and visit all the websites to enter the giveaways on each! The Mystery of the Missing Map October was a crazy month for me. In addition to spending nearly every day peddling pumpkins and tossing around bales of straw at the family farm, I had three new books come out. I wrote more words in one month than I’d ever accomplished before, which left me a little befuddled about what was fiction and what was reality. So, when I woke up on November first, it was with a delightful sense of accomplishment. The fall sales at the farm were finished for another year. The books were published. My memories of the past month were a fuzzy blur, but I’d met all my deadlines and we’d saved the farm. Like a dollop of Read More
