It is once again time for the annual aural hallucinations. Yes, it’s the day after the Highland Games. Insert phantom bagpipes here. Although I’m not hearing them this year as much as I usually do. I blame the weather shift yesterday that meant the entire games shut down for a couple of hours because of torrential rains that led to a 20 degree temperature drop that NO ONE was prepared for. Also, some truly evil winds. Tents went walkies. It was a whole mess. I did pick up a nice fluffy replica of Claire’s cowl from Outlander, but that was a necessary purchase. It was COLD.
(How cold was it? Salting the bridges in Magic Kingdom to prevent freezing cold. Falling Iguana cold. And yes, falling iguanas can be part of the weather forecasts in Florida.)
Now that the Games are over, I’m taking today as recovery, and then it’s time to get back to work. There will be one more pass at The Coral Throne, because I missed some things that were pointed out by a beta reader over the weekend. That will happen at the same time that I get back into King of Swords, because I need to reread the initial chapters I’d already written. I’m thinking late February for a release for The Coral Throne. Stay tuned.

Merlina Sherbourne was ready to close her magical shop for the holidays—until a charming stranger appears at her door carrying a curse and a quiet kind of desperation.
Camber Kincaid never meant to fall under a spell, but one enchanted ring leaves him with no choice but to seek help from a witch he’s never met. With Christmas fast approaching and magic misbehaving, Merlina agrees to help him break the curse… even if it means changing her holiday plans entirely.
What begins as a practical arrangement quickly turns into something warmer. Late-night conversations, gentle magic, and shared meals by the fire draw them closer, and soon Merlina and Camber discover that some connections feel impossibly natural—like they’ve always belonged together. As family secrets surface and old magic stirs, they’ll have to trust not only their spells, but their hearts.
Sweet, tender, and wrapped in holiday charm, Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas is a cozy paranormal romance about found family, soft magic, and falling in love when you least expect it.
Perfect for readers who love low-stakes romance, witchy coziness, and comforting seasonal reads to return to year after year.
