Happy holidays, all! Today is the fourth day of Hannukah, and the morning before Christmas Eve. What a joyous season. And what a bag of goodies Coffee Time Romance has to give away! Thanks to our guests, we’re going to make Santa’s job a little easier this year—though some of our giveaways are for the naughty boys and girls who might not have made Santa’s nice list. Well, Santa is a jolly soul and he understands better than anyone that a little naughty keeps us young.
Our giveaways include print and digital books, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, clairvoyant readings, music and gift certificates. Our Kindle grand prize is sponsored by Grace Burrowes. Thank you, Grace! There really is something for everyone here at Coffee Time Romance today.
I’m kicking off this early hour with a giveaway of my novella The Pendulum
Two Men.
Two demands for the promised payment of marriage.
Murder,deceit, and fraud pull Lady Arin Keith between these men.
Which one will bed her, claim her…own her?
According to NORAD, Santa is currently in Fiji, and is headed for our Australian friends. Woo hoo!
Leave a comment letting me know if you've caught sight of Santa yet. He’s a sneaky devil, the way he slips in and out of homes. If you haven't seen him yet, check out our direct feed to NORAD's tracker. Watch out NORAD! Coffee Time Romance is riding your wave.
A couple of Santa Watch rules:
All winners are chosen via a random number generator and will be contacted by email. If we don’t hear from the winners within 48 hours, another winner will be chosen. Our grand prize winner is chosen from all commenters. Good luck!

13 years agoHaha! So funny, due to my insomnia, I've been tracking Santa since about 3am! The novel idea of it still hasn't changed from when my dad used to pull it up on the computer as a kid!:-) He appears to be on his way to Vanuatu now!:-)

13 years agoI definitely made Santas naughty list this year! But, you're right, it does keep us young. Naughty is much more fun anyways:) (Good thing the kids can't see me typing this!!!)

13 years agoI'm fairly certain Santa won't pop up in my house until I get the baking underway–he always seems to sneak in each year to gobble half the cookies on the platter when my back is turned taking the pies out of the oven….
