***
A small-town librarian, a new neighbor from Colorado, and the brightest Christmas display in the Poconos.

Penny McLauchlin runs the library from a former bank building where the vault is now a reading room. She knows which cart squeaks, which patron wants company rather than a book, and which of the atrium plants needs turning toward the light. What she has stopped knowing is what she wants.

Then a colleague slides a listing for Regional Library Director across her desk — the kind Penny has scrolled past for years — and the thought arrives fully formed: I could.

She applies. And then the quiet season she thought lay ahead turns out to be anything but.

Her sister Jackie moves in. Her daughter is coming home for Christmas with a guest. And Nigel Blake, her new neighbor, has just plugged in a holiday display visible from Mars.

By December, Penny’s street is the brightest one — and the woman who never wanted anything to change has a job interview and is embroiled in a Christmas lights battle that has drawn spectators from across town.

This book is for every woman who has looked around a good life and still wondered whether this was all of it. Winter Light is about wanting things at 55, reaching without wrecking anything, and discovering that contentment isn’t the same as closing the door. Come to Blue Spruce Hills for warm friendships, a Pennsylvania mountain town under snow, a sister who arrives like weather, and a neighbor whose Christmas lights are an argument for joy.

Excerpt: 

Two big candles sat square in the middle of the cake—a five and a five.

The lights dimmed, and Penny was treated to an unharmonious Happy Birthday. Then came a chant that the kids had done when they were young and the adults had continued. Luckily, they now counted by fives.

“Are you five? Are you ten? Are you fifteen?” Shannon, Wendy, and Jennifer chanted.

As they counted up, Penny’s mind focused on her “new chapter,” as Jennifer called it. What new chapter? She had no news to share. Shannon had a new gallery showing. Jennifer was trying a new hobby. Wendy was going on vacation to Thailand.

“Are you thirty?”

Penny was simply going about her life. Day after day after day.

“Are you thirty-five?”

It wasn’t that her life was empty.

“Are you forty?”

Nor was she lonely.

“Are you forty-five?”

Nothing was wrong, per se.

“Are you fifty?”

But three words began to form, not quite solid yet, but taking shape.

“Are you fifty-five?”

Is this it?

“Stop,” Penny said, and the women clapped.

“Okay, Pen, blow out the candles and make a wish,” Shannon said.

Penny closed her eyes and did exactly that.

***

After about five minutes of hugging, Penny finally left Shannon’s. Her hands were toasty in her new gloves. Her journal was in her tote bag, and her framed picture was tucked under her arm.

The night was quiet. Her feet crunched on the fall leaves, and she could hear a muffled TV. Penny had walked this walk so many times she knew where the sidewalk tilted because of tree roots and when to expect Mr. Phillip’s dog to start barking.

For the first time, she didn’t find that familiarity comforting. Nothing had changed from yesterday, but everything felt a little different. It was silly. Nothing more than the stress of a birthday.

But that feeling lingered.

Cream and Cream Puff

Pup Tales, Book 7

by Nancy Nelson

Children's Picture book: Tales of pups with life lessons

Date Published: 10-13-2026

Publisher: Atmosphere Press

While out for his walk old Mr. Mcbain finds two small pups on the side of the road. He scoops up the two abandoned and dirty pups in two small cups. The pups in cups are bathed and fed at the local shelter. Happy, clean and well fed the two pups are in for a surprise when Mcbain brings his neighbor Mary to see them. Read about their happy ending from a tough beginning in this seventh PupTale adventure.

Excerpt

One day while out walking, old Mr. McBain,

Spotted a box on the side of the lane.

Brown with a cover and ten inches square,

He took off the lid with very great care.

Out popped two heads that gave a big yelp,

Two filthy pups who needed some help.

Their coats were all matted ,their puppy eyes sad,

They were thin as a rail, smelled like fish that went bad.

McBain couldn’t leave them of that he was sure,

They needed to go somewhere safe and secure.

He looked all around, spotted two paper cups,

They looked about right to hold the small pups.

He lifted them up, put each of them in,

A perfect pup fit because they were thin.

He carried the cups down to the dog pound,

A much better place then where they were found.

The puppies were bathed and rinsed more than twice,

Combed and brushed out , they even smelled nice.

The two little pups looked so much the same,

To tell them apart each needed a name.

“What shall we call you,” said pound worker Pat,

Cinder and Rella, maybe Kit and Kit Kat?”

The pups had a thought when it came to their name,

How about Mr. and Mrs. McBain?

Pat looked at the pups and as if reading their minds,

Said “I think we should honor the man that was kind.

You’re a boy and a girl yet look quite the same,

The name that works best is the puppies McBain.

The pups grew tired after having been fed,

So Pat tucked them away in a warm comfy bed.

Happy they weren’t still out on their own,

They dreamed of life in a new doggie home.

Ebook Review: Bitter's Sweet (Grave Prowlers MC: Tennessee #1) by Morgan Jane Mitchell

 

Blurb: 

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Morgan Jane Mitchell comes the first of her brand-new series in a shared world, Bitter’s Sweet, Grave Prowlers MC: Tennessee
Expect: Dark Romance, OW Drama, Cheating, Rejection, Groveling, Morally Gray Bikers

SWEET

I came to Tennessee to disappear.
Instead, I end up at the Grave Prowlers’ School of the Dead, where I’m learning mortuary cosmetology, my new mentor renames me Sweet, and the club’s grumpy enforcer decides keeping me alive is his personal responsibility.
Bitter Adams doesn’t do relationships.
And I don’t do casual. That should make us nothing.
It doesn’t. Because Bitter feeds me, fixes what’s broken, and makes me believe I’m more than another woman in his bed.
Then he chooses his club over me.
And just when I think there’s nothing left for him to destroy, I walk in on him banging another woman inside a coffin.
So I walk away.
Right as the Grave Prowlers’ annual carnival turns the town into a twisted playground of coffin races, grave-digging contests, moonshine, and secrets buried deeper than the dead.
Straight into the hands of the Ravenfork Reapers ex who still thinks I belong to him.

BITTER
Club has always come first.
Then Sweet walks into my life and starts making that rule harder to live by.
She says no to casual sex, calls me on my bullshit, and somehow makes my apartment feel like a home. The closer she gets, the more I remember exactly what loving the wrong woman once cost my brothers.
So when the club needs something from me, I betray Sweet before she can ever betray me.
Then I make it worse.
I reject her. Publicly. Cruelly.
And Razor uses the chaos of the carnival and the old cement dump everyone calls the murder hole to take advantage of the damage I caused.
Now Sweet is in the hands of a man who thinks love means ownership, and I’m done pretending she means nothing.
I didn’t push her away because I didn’t want her. I pushed her away because she was becoming the one thing more dangerous than losing my club.
Everything.

🔥 Welcome to the Grave Prowlers MC Shared World 🔥
12 Authors. One Ruthless Brotherhood.
Coming Summer 2026
Founded in 1987 in Virginia, the Grave Prowlers MC built its empire on the ashes of secrets. Literally.
With a mortuary as their legit front, they mastered the art of cremating bodies that needed to disappear. Custom coffins weren’t just for show; they were weapons of war built by hand to smuggle guns from coast to coast. By 1997, the founding members split, and each expanded into a tri-state region. Their reach grew, but so did the blood spilled in their name.
Eye for an Eye. Tooth for a Tooth.
That’s the code.
That’s the law.
Break it, and you’re already dead.
💀 12 powerhouse MC romance authors are coming together to bring you a shared world like no other. Loyalty runs deep, betrayal burns fast, and every coffin tells a story.
🚨 This isn’t your average biker series. This is Grave Prowlers MC where the only rule is respect the club, and the only escape is death.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story had me feeling all kinds of emotions. Bitter was quite a jerk, but I came to appreciate and care for him. Sweet was secretive and seemingly straightforward. I loved how she was determined for more direct conversations. She was a hoot, especially with Mercy. I enjoyed all her interactions with the MC and their extension. It was fun watching the entire MC protect Sweet and show her she was in charge of herself. Especially entertaining was Bitter's redemption and showing his true feelings in front of everyone. I laughed, cried, and felt the anger and despair with this couple.

I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.

Audiobook Release: Loathed Love (Cobalt Empire #3) by Krista and Becca Ritchie, narrators Brooke Bloomingdale and Liam DiCosimo

Loathed Love by Krista & Becca Ritchie is now live on audio!

Duet Narration by: Brooke Bloomingdale & Liam DiCosimo

Audrey Cobalt never expected a lie to land her between two men: the quiz bowl captain she wants and the bad-boy musician she hates.

The youngest of an accomplished family, Audrey Cobalt has spent her life chasing good grades and fantasizing over happily-ever-afters. Now fresh off to college and living with her older brothers, she’s determined to prove that New York City is where she’s fated to be.

Unfortunately…her dream life starts with a lie.

Guy Abernathy is cutthroat, ambitious, and the handsome captain of Manhattan Valley University’s prestigious quiz bowl team. He’s everything Audrey has always wanted.

Birdie St. Pierre is not.

He’s sharp-tongued, abrasive, and the hot musical prodigy who hates rich, spoiled heiresses. Tragic, since Birdie is her new tutor—and her only shot at staying on the quiz bowl team.

Whom does Audrey truly loathe, and whom does she truly love? It could be a Shakespearean mess if she finds out too late.

Teaser: The Night Before Christmas (A Savior is Born) by Julie Hansen with an excerpt and a giveaway

The Night Before Christmas

A Savior is Born

by Julie Hansen

Children's Christmas Christian/Religious

Date Published: 11-01-2026

Publisher: 100X Publishing

The greatest gift came in the smallest of ways. 

On a quiet night in Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph searched for a place to welcome their precious baby. What they found was a humble stable, and what happened there would change the world forever.

This heartwarming, faith-based children’s book celebrates the story of Jesus’ birth for readers young and old. May it become a cherished family favorite and a beloved Christmas tradition to share around the Christmas tree year after year.

Through gentle rhyme and beautiful storytelling, The Night Before Christmas: A Savior Is Born invites children and families to experience the wonder of that very first Christmas: the star in the sky, the angels’ song, the shepherds who came to see, and the wise men who came bearing gifts.

But above all, it is the story of a tiny baby who was so much more than an ordinary child.

Jesus. Our Savior. Our King, and the reason we celebrate Christmas.

Excerpt

To the stable they rushed,

They knew it wasn’t far,

And as Mary looked up,

She saw a bright star,

Then came the baby,

And when Mary looked to see,

As always through a Mother’s eyes,

He was as perfect as could be,

But as He looked like any other,

This baby was different as you may recall,

He was born to free us,

Born to save us all,

His name was called Jesus,

Our perfect Savior and friend,

God made flesh,

To live among men,

About the Author

 

 Julie Hansen is a Christian, wife, and mother of four who has always cherished the wonder and joy of Christmas. Her journey as an author began many years ago, while she was pregnant with her first child, a son.

As Julie prepared to become a mother for the first time, she found herself thinking about Mary in a way she never had before. Through her own anticipation, excitement, and love for the little life growing inside her, she began to imagine what Mary’s heart must have felt like as she awaited the birth of Jesus—the Son she would love as a mother and the Savior she would one day watch give His life for the world.

From those thoughts came a story written from a mother's heart, with the hope of helping children experience the wonder of that very first Christmas.

Years later, that story has become Julie's first published children's book. Her greatest hope is that as families read these pages together, they will be reminded of the beautiful truth at the heart of Christmas: Jesus is God's greatest gift to the world.

Julie is grateful for the opportunity to share this story with families and hopes it will become a cherished part of their Christmas traditions for years to come.

Teaser: Flawless to Filthy (Fallen Meadows Ranch #3) by Janine Infante Bosco

She's out of his league... 

But he can still give her a taste of his rowdy, filthy world.

Flawless to Filthy by Janine Infante Bosco is now available to preorder!

https://geni.us/FlawlesstoFilthy

Everyone knows that on Fallen Meadows Ranch, passion runs deep and second chances must be earned...

Jude

When you're born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks, a smooth ride through life is a luxury you can't afford. That's why I break my back to keep the ranch equipment running. My life is hard, but it's also honest, and I've accepted that it doesn't have a happy ending. How could it when Genevieve Montgomery is my biggest regret?

Then a rare night out with the guys from the ranch lands me face-to-face with the woman I've never been able to forget. She's still just as flawless as the day she walked out of my life, and if the sparkling rock on her finger isn't enough of a reality check, meeting her polished fiancé—a local politician who expects my vote—certainly is.

I can stay in my lane and respect that she'll always be out of my league. But as campaign season heats up, she gets a taste of my rough and rowdy world, and to my surprise, this perfectly put together good girl isn't afraid to get a little filthy.

Then everything explodes. Genevieve's fiancé is hell-bent on taking down the Fallen Demons MC, and he doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire. When the truth comes out, suddenly I'm protecting her from the biggest mistake of her life, but I'll be damned if I let anyone ruin her twice.

Release: Ballad Moon (Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch #4) by Tess Thompson

Ballad Moon 

by Tess Thompson 

Available now!

https://geni.us/BALLADMOON

Available on Kindle Plus

To the world, he’s the man behind the piano.
To her, he’s the whole show.

Blake Bennett came to Montana’s Crescent Moon Ranch to film a glossy celebrity wedding. Instead, her camera keeps finding Beck Reed, the quiet one, the piano player who holds Jack Wilder’s band together and lets everyone else take the bow.

Beck could have had the spotlight. Juilliard-trained and the pride of an old-money family with a plan for his life, he walked away from all of it to play country music in the background of someone else’s band. His family hasn’t forgiven him. He has made himself small ever since, certain that being needed is the closest he will get to being wanted. He doesn’t expect anyone to look closer.

Blake does. The daughter of a legendary documentary filmmaker who had time for four wives and none for her, she learned early to put her attention behind a lens instead of on the people in front of her. She took the job her father sneered at, determined to prove a wedding could be real art. She didn’t count on the truest thing at the ranch being the man nobody else notices.

As a slow Montana winter draws them together and the documentary turns from spectacle into something honest, Beck and Blake discover they have been running from the same thing in different directions. He faded into the background. She hid behind the camera. Now the only person either of them wants to be seen by is the one finally looking back.
Ballad Moon is the fourth book in Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch by USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson, a closed-door, slow-burn Christmas romance about a gentle hero the world overlooks and the artist who finally sees him.

Read this one if you love:

• A soulful, overlooked hero and the woman who can’t look away
• A documentary filmmaker who keeps everyone at arm’s length
• Two people who chose warmth over prestige and paid for it

Five interconnected stories, one unforgettable Montana Christmas. Each book stands alone; together they tell the story of one magical month.
