Author Happy Holidays Blog Hop!

Christmas is always a busy time, and in my little part of the world, it's no different. Our family celebration is small, but there's plenty of food and drink, conversation and laughter.

It's always hot, too. Christmas here in Australia is usually a warm one, with various ranges in temperatures depending on where you are in the country. No snow here on our Christmas day! Just sunshine, maybe some wind, and if we're very unlucky, it'll be over 40oC/105oF. Luckily in my home, there's airconditioning and a ceiling fan!

In the spirit of giving, I'm giving one reader an eBook copy of my latest release, Book, Line and Sinker. Leave a comment to go into the draw!



Blurb: After seventeen years serving in the Australian Army, Ash returns to his childhood home in the outback town of Quorn. Filled with the desire to live a happy life in peace and with loved ones, Ash is grimly determined to beat his PTSD and tackle his flashbacks.

What Ash isn’t prepared for is Jaxon, the new librarian in Quorn. Jaxon is calm, gentle, kind, and a rock for Ash’s battered psyche. Ash finds himself falling for the handsome newcomer, even as his mind and memories of the past torment him.

When he has the idea for a mobile library to bring books and entertainment to remote communities in the far north, Ash is delighted that Jaxon is with him every step of the way. But though the library, called Book, Line, and Sinker, takes off, Ash’s past continues to plague him. Can Jaxon’s love be enough to keep them together until Ash is strong enough to stand on his own?

Enjoy the Blog Hop!

You're welcome!

Haha yes, and it looks like it's going to be a stinker in Adelaide this year!

Is it? I haven't checked the weather that far ahead yet. I am glad we won't be here then. I hate super hot Xmas Day. Still, I guess it could be just as bad in Queensland (where it will be humid too)...

And now they're saying 40 :-(. I am doubly glad you gave me those bottle watering spikes - I think they will be the saviour of my tomatoes, which are just starting to fruit...

Oh hell, that's even worse. More DNW!

Yes, very happy to be avoiding that, although I am sure it will be sticky and humid in Qld, which I am no fan of either...

The BOM says it'll be 27 and wet in Brisbane on Christmas day, which is pretty ick.

Though we're supposed to be getting rain on Boxing Day (40oC) and the day after (37oC) so that'll be worse.
