Did you know that I wrote a book about Groundhog day? If you love Janet Evanovich and Jana DeLeon you might enjoy my silly Miranda Albright Mystery series.

Tidbit- I researched the folkloric aspects of Groundhog day for one of my graduate classes. Yes, I am fascinated with a prognosticating rodent.

Title A Christmas Storm

Author D. V. Stone

Genre Contemporary light fantasy, Holiday Fiction

Publisher The Wild Rose Press

Facebook account handle or link https://www.facebook.com/dv.stone.1

Book Blurb

In the spirit of Dickens, a delightfully sweet holiday story about family love and the opportunity for second chances.

An early storm is brewing in Upstate New York, and military wife Lacey Prescott is caught unprepared when it turns into a blizzard. Defeated by her own lack of preparation and the recall of her husband’s Christmas holiday leave, her joy in the season is replaced by bitterness and anger. In an unexpected turn of events, Lieutenant Matthew Prescott’s leave is reinstated. But the journey home is not an easy one since a Nor’easter stands between him and his family.

Amidst the storm’s fury, Lacey gets a glimpse of the past, present, and possible future, while Matt gets assistance from a mysterious stranger.

In a heartwarming story of determination, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unexpected kindness of strangers, the possibility of a Christmas reunion brings a sense of hope with a message of love and support from friends and family that embodies the true spirit of Christmas.

Excerpt:

“Why me?” Lacey Prescott wailed to the sky as she lay sprawled on the icy path leading to the shed.

Snow started to replace the sleet and fluttered down from the starless sky.

Christmas was only three days away. Even with her dad, Nathan, and Gloriana installed in the guest room, it wasn’t the holiday she’d hoped for since getting the call. Matt wasn’t going to make it home. She’d put on her game face when she’d greeted Dad and his new wife at the door earlier, but her heart was no longer into celebrating the holiday.

“I miss you so much.” She rubbed her eyes before struggling to get traction on the slippery surface. Finally, her foot found the gravel under the snow on the path’s edge.

Her heart broke when her husband called the previous month to let her know plans had changed. This was to be the first time they’d spend the holidays together since getting married.

He would’ve spent the season with her and little Adele. But duty called, and Lt. Matthew Prescott’s deployment had been extended—indefinitely.

Now, here she was without him and with a house full of company. To top it off, what had been expected to be light snow was now being reported by the weather stations as a storm of epic proportions. And she’d neglected to lay in supplies.

She’d lived in Upstate New York long enough to know storms could quickly morph from forecasts of flurries to blizzards in a heartbeat.

While gingerly making her way to the shed where the ice melt was, she’d wanted to kick her own butt. Until she slipped and fell. Okay, ice kicked her instead.

“Argh.” She yanked on the frozen-shut door and then slammed her hand against the wood slats.

Done, she was done. Toast. No, burnt toast.

Why should readers read this book?

What shapes us as a person? Somethings are ingrained in us from birth. That’s not necessarily a bad thing unless we allow what could be a positive trait take over and become who we are. Lacey is given an opportunity many of us wish for. When was the last time you said, “Okay, I do need help.” And accepted it for the gift it was.

Her world is upended when her father is killed, her mother remarries, and her new stepfather dies of illness. Griselda must grapple with her scheming stepsister, the burden of fairy sight inherited from her father, and a pair of fairy-blessed slippers.

5+ stars for A Ghost in the Green Bestiary (Christmas in the Castle) by Margaret L. Carter

Can the ghost roaming the mansion’s garden help Lucy and Walter determine what their future is? A Ghost in the Green Bestiary is a wonderful gothic paranormal romance I thoroughly enjoyed. There’s a sublime gothic vibe to the narration, making it impossible to put down. The world-building is immersive and captured my imagination. The characters, though, are what make A Ghost in the Green Bestiary an unputdownable read.

Let’s start with the characters. Lucy is our heroine and she’s such a well-written character. She’s easy to relate to and full of emotion. Her plight tore my heart out.

Walter is our hero and what a fabulous one at that. I connected with him on many levels. While his character is complex, his heart is open.

The world-building deserves top billing. It’s so well done, it’s like a main character. Margaret L. Carter weaves a brilliant paranormal romance by using intricate world-building you’ll swear is real. I loved every minute while reading.

If you’re looking for an incredible gothic paranormal romance set at Christmas, pick up A Ghost in the Green Bestiary.
