Favorite holiday memory: The Christmas I remember most is the one where everyone in my family was sick except for my dad and I. We had several feet of snow and we didn't have our Christmas tree yet. He and I took snow shoes, drove as far us the road as the old scout could go and put on the snow shoes. Then we hiked into the woods for a tree. Dad told me to stay away from the trees and bushes as there were air pockets. I'd be walking along , hurrying to keep up with my dad and "Whoosh!" I'd fall into an air pocket. He'd grab the back of my coat and pull me out of the hole. I'd dust the snow off and we' trudge on. I think I did this about three times before I smartened up and stayed back from the trees and bushes. We did get home with the top of a tree and Mom (who was very particular about her tree) was pleased!

FEATHERS IS AVAILABLE NOW FOR DOWNLOAD!!!

In addition to a great day with Minnette Meador as guest author, I received an e-mail today from my publisher, Awe-Struck E-Books, that FEATHERS ON THE FLOOR is available NOW as a download!

Although the official release date is December 12, this sneak preview is available now at http://awe-struck.net/AUTHORS52/fotf.html at the special price of $4.29 (regular download price will be $4.99). 

Here's a blurb about FEATHERS:

Psychiatrist Julia Cabot's life has always gone according to plan -- until her husband's charming affability explodes into violence. Terrified for her life and the safety of her children, Julia runs. She finds an unlikely haven with a man her children think is the angel they wished for after they find FEATHERS ON THE FLOOR. Former bodyguard Mitch Garrison is trained to protect, but something went fatally wrong five years ago when his wife was shot while helping an abused woman. Mitch's nightmares come to life when Julia appears, a jagged purple bruise marring her face. But when her ex-husband kidnaps her children, Julia and Mitch join forces in a journey that brings them face to face with their deepest fears and their most passionate desires. (You can also read an excerpt from the first chapter at the above link.)

More good news: I expect to have the print version around Dec. 12 from Rogue Phoenix Press, and am offering some special holiday prices on books and book bags, with $1.00 of each special buy going to help fund the spay/neuter clinic at Willamette Humane Society in Salem, Oregon. Yes, I am owned by a number of shelter alumni. :)  

Please visit my Web site at http://www.genenevalleau.com/Prices.html for details. I will do everything I can to ship these in time for Christmas gift giving. 

OK, a few more celebratory dance steps, and I'll announce the winner of today's daily prize...

Favorite holiday memory: My favorite memory of Christmas was the first Christmas morning my kids actually knew what was going on. My twins were about 2 and my oldest was 4. They screamed so loud, the neighbors heard them. There is nothing more infectious than the laughter of children...and now they listen to their own children laugh.
