A warm welcome to author Amy Aislin joining us today to talk about her new release “Christmas Lane”.
Amy talks about her new release and brought a giveaway to participate in!
Welcome Amy 🙂
Thank you for joining me to celebrate the release of my newest m/m contemporary romance, Christmas Lane, and thank you to Love Bytes Reviews for having me!
Christmas Lane is—unsurprisingly—a holiday romance that takes place in the fictional small town of Lighthouse Bay, Maine, and features an age gap romance between twenty-four-year-old Zach Greenfeld and thirty-nine-year-old Holland Stone.
Holland has spent most of his adult life trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. He spent a few years working as an elementary school teacher—in fact, he was Zach’s teacher at one point—then was the manager of the bar, then did the books for a woodworker. It was while doing these books that he discovered his own love of woodworking, which eventually led to him becoming a dollhouse maker through chance and word of mouth.
Basically, Holland suffers from what many people do, that question of “what am I supposed to do with my life?” Whereas his love interest, Zach, knows exactly what he wants, Holland had a harder time trying to find his own niche. But he never gave up, and he kept trying new things until he found where he belonged.
Holland is very careful with his heart. He had his heart broken once after his boyfriend moved away to pursue his own dreams, and although he wants love in his life, he’s very selective about who he hands his heart to. Admiring sincere, hard-working, beautiful Zach from afar is enough for him…until he learns that Zach might just have a crush on him too.
Christmas Lane is ultimately a novel about finding where you belong, that place to call home, and that person who accepts you for you are.
Want to know more about Zach and his own journey to finding where he belongs? You can read more about him at The Novel Approach, where I was hanging out yesterday!
Christmas Lane is out now and available for purchase at Amazon, iBooks, B&N, and Kobo.

It’s recent college graduate Zach Greenfeld’s favorite time of the year and he’s just received a temporary gig planning Lighthouse Bay’s Christmas parade. Not only does it speak to his penchant for organization, it also puts him face to face on a daily basis with his unrequited crush—Holland Stone. But his new job starts off in disaster when the most important float—Santa’s sleigh—gets damaged.
Holland needs to win the Lighthouse Bay Christmas parade float competition in order to grow his new dollhouse-making business. The prize is an article in a major city newspaper, and nothing beats free advertising. Except, eager to help the adorable parade organizer, he volunteers to help fix Santa’s sleigh, leaving no time to work on his own float, and putting his prize at risk.
Damaged floats, snowstorms, and a last-minute parade emergency force Zach and Holland closer than ever. All they need is a little bit of Christmas magic to help them realize they belong together.
