A Kiss Under The Kismet Tree
The letters had strangely stopped from my long-time American pen pal, until I got another letter to explain the sad reason why. Devastated to learn that Sara had tragically died, I could only mourn her untimely death and her faraway loss. Now, the long-distance letters have slowly began to arrive back through my door, just as they used to before. They are now coming from the brother of Sara...the one who first wrote to me about the truly sad passing of his sister. One word at a time, this man is beginning to intrigue me. One word at a time, he is making me want to read more from him. But Cary Dean lives in New England, and I live by the sea in Dorset. I can't let him intrigue me. I can't want to read more of his words. I'm Rosa Summers - a hopeless romantic who is totally hopeless with all things romantic, and yet, Cary Dean is managing to write his way deep into my heart, and with Christmas just around the corner, I can't let my silly heart run away with itself. Christmas is all about kindness and laughter. It's about sharing goodwill and spreading joy.... it's not about falling for someone I can't ever be with. But the magical spirit of Christmas... well, let's just say it has other ideas!

Holly Garland on Santa's Lap [COMPLETE]
Once upon a time, I was your typical good girl, doing my job like a total elf star, no complaints. Even with the little "gift" I was born with (aka my disability), I handled life pretty well. But let me tell you, luck's never been my plus-one. What am I talking about? Oh, just my lovely name-and the Christmas curse that comes with it! Every year, without fail, while my family's out decking the halls, I'm over here getting snowed under with the worst disasters. So, yeah, all I want for Christmas is for this nightmare of a season to be over. But this year? Oh, I've really hit the Christmas tree topper. Ever since I plopped myself down on Santa's lap at my office party and made a special wish, it's been one yule disaster after another! And now, I'm stuck in this sleigh ride from hell with that red-suited nightmare, forced to follow him wherever he jingles. Sure, he might be a total angel under that fake beard-mysterious and all-but I'm not about to let myself get wrapped up like some Christmas present under the tree. My brain's still in one piece, thanks. So, seriously, sweet baby Jesus, how did a nice executive assistant like me end up sleighing through this wild holiday misadventure full of danger, romance, and all the holly jolly chaos of Christmas?!Complete

Help! I'm Stuck in a Christmas Movie!
Noel has hated Christmas since she was born on the 25th, brought kicking and screaming into the world. Every year, the hatred has grown, until she's become the grouchiest Grinch this side of the Sierra Nevadas. Her perfect Christmas is working straight through, and going home to watch the newest true crime documentary with a nice bottle (or two of wine). Chris was abandoned by Christmas when his mom died and he was shuffled off to boarding school by his ambivalent father. Every year he's taken a nice, long vacation in a tropical location, and this year will be no different-or so he thinks. It turns out that Christmas has other plans, and soon the two of them find themselves swept away to a Winter Wonderland of eternal Christmas. If they don't learn the true meaning of Christmas and find a way to recapture their Christmas spirit, they could be trapped in a caroling, sleigh riding, cookie making existence forever! *****Author's Note: Whew! It's finally finished! Sorry, it's a bit of a mess, typo wise. I'm having it cleaned up and posted on Amazon and Smashwords in time for Christmas (under the name Stuck in Winter Wonderland), if you're interested in buying it. I've also got a couple of other series for sale, and some free ebooks under my name: C.S. Mae if you look on Smashwords. Hope you had a great holiday and a Happy New Year during this crazy time. I also hope that this story brings you a little bit of happiness during the doldrums of Covid-19. I tried to make it as drama free as possible. :)Complete
