If a lot can happen in a New York minute, imagine a New York year! Readers can now join the heroes and heroines (plus a few villains) of all four stories in the Holiday Novella Series, starting with Christmas and coming full circle to Thanksgiving and beyond. Each book has its own narrator, and yet the rich tapestry of interwoven lives unites the four stories.New York City is one of the main characters in all four books. In A BUCKSKIN CHRISTMAS, readers meet editor Dan Blackwell, who falls in love with his client, Montana writer Caleb Bromley. Readers also meet Dan’s best friend, fashion expert Letisha Carmichael, and other juicy characters at GLITZ Magazine. And Dan’s parents, Elaine and Richard Blackwell. Book Two, MY EASTER MIRACLE, is told by photographer Ken Garda, who is hired by GLITZ to shoot Dan and Caleb’s splashy wedding in Montana. Book Three, INDEPENDENCE DAZE, is narrated by Jerry Darnley, who is a serious collector of fine art-especially photos by Ken Garda. Ken’s gallerist, Tim Hart, narrates Book Four, GIVING THANKS. Tim, like Ken and Jerry, is nursing a broken heart and wondering about the possibility of a bright future which includes new love.By the time they meet for Thanksgiving dinner at the Blackwells’ country house in New Jersey, there is gratitude flowing all around. Readers fall in love with the whole crew as they navigate their way through life and relationships, career and commitment. And lots of steamy sex, of course. All four books are about healing from the wounds of the past in order to move forward. And most of all, they’re about the redemptive power of love. 3
