An
Unforgettable Holiday
A
Magical Christmas In Jerusalem
Australian project
manager Kiara Lonsdale is career focussed and determined to provide and care
for the grandmother who raised her. Taking time off work to vacation has never
been high on her agenda, but this year she’s made an exception. She’s helping
her gran fulfil a life-long dream by accompanying her on a Christmas to the
Holy Land tour.
Jacques Lenoir and
his extended family run tours in Israel and he’s committed to their business.
Jacques feels responsible for his grandparents’ welfare since they risked their
lives, and others’, as operatives in the French Resistance, during the War.
But over romantic
dinners in the desert, camel rides, and mud baths at the Dead Sea, sparks fly
between Kiara and Jacques. Will this only be a holiday romance or will a touch
of Christmas magic make it last a lifetime?
A
Magical Chanukah in New York
Lisa Sassoon has
shunned the scandal of her loser-ex cheating on her by escaping to
New York. Instead of sightseeing, she’s become a recluse focusing on helping
the less fortunate at a homeless shelter.
Gabe Olivari,
entrepreneur and savvy business New Yorker, can’t let go of the pain of
losing his best friend. So caught up in his own grief
and believing he doesn’t deserve to be happy,
he compensates by pushing everyone close to him away.
But when Lisa and
Gabe meet, there is an instant connection that forces them to question not only
their behaviours but their aspirations.
Can a dash of
Chanukah magic help Lisa and Gabe realise that sparkling dates and dreamy
kisses can lead to more? Perhaps even a lifetime of happiness?

These stories sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine :)
DeleteI loved writing them and have been delighted to see how much my readers have enjoyed reading them, with their reviews and emails :)
I particularly like the setting of the first story. Sound like two good tales.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo :) Yes, my readers have loved the settings for my books :) Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteI can imagine that marketing is a headache for many writers!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess, you are correct. I often spend more time marketing than I do writing. But that's part of being an indie writer - you do everything yourself :) Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteSounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteLoved your FFF responses!
Thanks Sandra x2 :) Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteI love seeing a Christmas story set in Jerusalem and a Chanukah story. Lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrys :) One of my readers had spent time in Israel over Christmas and she just loved the novella, which made me so happy.
DeleteSo far, my readers have loved the novellas - yeah! Thanks for dropping by :)
There are few things more fun than Christmas romances. It's like that time of year is magical and anything can happen. Wishing Joanne much success!
ReplyDeleteHi Lexa - thanks for dropping by and for your kind words :)
DeleteFun interview. Thanks for sharing your book!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome x2 :)
DeleteHope you enjoy Bidding on Love, it's one of my most popular books :) Happy reading!
Congratulations... it's exciting when you are able to accomplish your goals xox
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Launna - that's so lovely of you to say. Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteHi again, Joanne. Congrats and best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHi again ACS - lovely to see you again :) thanks for the well wishes :)
DeleteAh, doesn't this sound interesting! Congratulations on coming up with some great ideas, Joanne! I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Denise - appreciate you saying so. Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteEverything to do with marketing is annoying, isn't it, even if just because it takes up so much writing time.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'd much rather be writing but as a self published author, I'm responsible for marketing and promoting my own books and my brand. This is a full time job.
DeleteThe up side is that I market my own books, not someone else, and have the freedom to do what I think is best :)
It's the perfect time of year for a good romance. Fireplace, mulled wine, comfy chair and a bit of love. Congratulations on your book, Joanne.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clem - appreciate that!
DeleteBut here in Australia, it's more like air-conditioner, glass of sparkling wine and a comfy chair out of the sun :) It's summer here and usually very hot on Christmas Day!
I loved the stories!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jemi - that's so nice of you to say :) Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteI love this cover!

Thanks Jess :) I just loved writing these books and had lots of fun with the Chanukah one :)
DeleteLoooooooooove my cover so much :)
Thanks for dropping by!
Sounds like a good book! Yes - tech stuff often frustrates me, too.
ReplyDeleteThank Sherry :) So far, all the reviews have really loved my holiday reads - yeah!
DeleteThe tech stuff does my head in! I'd much rather be writing :)
DOWN WITH TECH! (Unless my hubby can step in to keep me from smashing the computer.) Such a cute cover, and I LOVE the concept. Books that take me elsewhere are the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal! I also love the cover, it's so romantic and perfect for my novellas.
DeleteYou'll love these books, these whisk you off to Jerusalem and New York, with lots of romance, fun and a splash of faith.
Thanks for stopping by :)
I loved your answers to FFF. Congrats on the new book!

Thanks Chrissie x2. Hope you enjoy Bidding on Love, I've had such fab reviews and feedback on it :)
DeleteAnd if you love holiday romance, you'll love my novellas in An Unforgettable Holiday.
Thanks for dropping by :)
It's always so nice and touching when you have someone who has enjoyed your book enough to let you know about the appreciation! I also love chilling with my mates and yes, technical stuff can be frustrating! I have to do it for my blog too.
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia - jinks! you so get it :)
DeleteThe tech stuff is annoying but is totally forgotten when I receive fan mail :) Definitely one of the best bits of being a writer :)
Thanks for dropping by :)
Tech stuff is just a nightmare for me. I usually have to Google how to fix something. lol
ReplyDeleteI agree :) Thank goodness for Google....I usually find the answer I need!
DeleteThanks for dropping by x
Sounds like a really good story. Congratulations on the new book!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sherry for the well wishes and for dropping by :)
