The Holidays & Loved Ones
When I was much younger,
I’m talking seven or eight, we didn’t have much money. On top of that, I had
three brothers, a sister, and my parents I always wanted to get the perfect
Christmas gift for.
My dad would give me five dollars, and that would be my shopping budget. For me it became almost a game. Could I find the perfect present for every person in my family, and still have money left over when I was done, so someone else could spend more on their gifts?
I’m older and we have more money now, and it’s just me, my sweetie, and our four cats. I still go a little nuts with the Christmas shopping. It’s not about buying the most expensive gift, or the biggest, baddest sale item. It’s about showing my loved one what an impact she has on my life, and that I enjoy her company enough to listen and know what she wants.
Even if some years that just involves a box of Tasty Kakes, and using the rest of our budget to donate to Toys for Tots so a couple more kids can wake up to a box under the tree which has that one toy in it.
I was going to deviate
here, and try and work in something clever about my book, but I’ll just leave a
link and blurb below instead. Enter the rafflecopter, win
a gift for yourself. But mostly keep in mind that regardless of the holiday you
celebrate this season, or even if there are none on your calendars as the end
of the year approaches, someone loves you, and wants to spend the day just
enjoying your company and knowing you feel the same.
Roll Against Trust Blurb:
Tasha’s not looking for love, but she doesn’t mind just looking… and maybe a little fantasizing. Her two best friends and weekend AD& D buddies, Seth and Ryan, are the perfect guest stars in her fantasies. When a late night gaming session with the three goes from silly to verbally scorching in an instant, Tasha wonders if her imagination is enough to keep her satisfied long term.
Tasha’s not looking for love, but she doesn’t mind just looking… and maybe a little fantasizing. Her two best friends and weekend AD& D buddies, Seth and Ryan, are the perfect guest stars in her fantasies. When a late night gaming session with the three goes from silly to verbally scorching in an instant, Tasha wonders if her imagination is enough to keep her satisfied long term.
Then her ex’s money mismanagement catches up to her in the form of draining her bank account, her job is threatened by a mistake that points to Ryan, and Seth takes his side. If Tasha can’t move past her trust issues long enough to uncover the truth—both with herself and the men she’s falling for—she’ll wind up broken-hearted and just plain broke.
