Seasons greetings as we approach that time of year. I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. I wish you and yours all the best.
This year I published two books, both with a New Zealand setting although one is contemporary, the other paranormal, and I wrote another, which is coming out in February.
Considering I work almost full time, and had a lot going on this year, I figure that’s a good accomplishment. Two books a year seems to be my ‘sweet spot’ and this coming year I need to find a better work/life balance, a goal that seems to be constantly evolving with each year.
Trying to fit in a day job and writing is difficult enough, without factoring exercise and down time into the equation. This year, I had pre and post op energy levels to deal with too which seriously affected my productivity.
But onwards and upwards as the saying goes – and the name of the programme I’m involved with at the library to raise literacy levels.
This month my sale book is appropriately Christmas themed. The 1914 Christmas Truce has always fascinated me in that two sides put down their weapons in order to come together to celebrate Christmas. It’s interesting to note that these men were reluctant to return to fighting after having put a face to their enemy. Their commanders split most of their units up because of it.

Blurb:
A chance meeting they never forgot.
Six years after meeting British soldier Aiden Foster during the Christmas Truce of 1914, Jochen Weber still finds himself thinking about Aiden, their shared conversation about literature, and Aiden’s beautiful singing voice. A visit to London gives Jochen the opportunity to search for Aiden, but he’s shocked at what he finds.
The uniform button Jochen gave him is the only thing Aiden has left of the past he’s lost. The war and its aftermath ripped everything away from him, including his family and his music. When Jochen reappears in his life, Aiden enjoys their growing friendship but knows he has nothing to offer. Not anymore.
Author’s note: This story was originally released by another publisher. This edition has some added content, and uses UK spelling to reflect its setting.
