I'm going to admit one of my guilty pleasures today.

I love reading cozy Christmas stories. Yes, I also watch Hallmark romances while I wrap presents and drink wine. That time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is my time to pretend the world out there is softer and sweeter than it often really is.

So, when I had the chance to share some historical Christmas stories with you, I couldn't say no. I've got A Home for Christmas queued up on my Kindle for an evening curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea. Do you like reading Christmas cozies too?

A Home for Christmas

Will six strangers find hope, love, and family at Christmas? A collection of three historical western short stories to inspire love and warm the heart.

"Christmas Mountain"

In search of family she barely knows and adventure she’s always wanted, Katherine Donahue is saved from freezing on a winter night in the mountains of Montana by August Hollister. Neither of them expected that what one woman had in mind was a new beginning for them both.

"Teton Christmas"

Heartache and a thirst for adventure lead McKensie Stewart and her sister to Wyoming after the death of their parents. With the help of a widowed aunt and a charming horse breeder, McKensie discovers that hope is a cherished promise, and there is no greater gift than love.

"Lily's Christmas Wish"

Lily Malone has never had a real family or a real Christmas. This holiday season, she might get both. From an orphanage in New York City to the rugged mountains of Colorado, Lily sends out only one wish. But when the time comes, can she give it up so someone else’s wish can come true?

If you love inspirational romance and heartfelt holidays, then you'll enjoy this trio of stories as we remember the true meaning of love any time of the year.

Exciting news! My biography of James Alexander Hamilton is available for preorder most places where you buy books. I've included a few links below. I've had some questions about what is included, since most people know a fair amount about Alexander Hamilton but not so much about any of his children.

This gives you an idea:

James A Hamilton lived through an exciting time in US history. Unfortunately, it's also an era that we don't spend a lot of time talking about. Besides defending his father's memory and national bank, James served as temporary Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson, enabling him to observe the Eaton Scandal and the Nullification Crisis first hand. My hope is that everyone reading this book will gain an appreciation for James and for other sons of founders who were left with the challenging work of building a new nation.

Since he lived a long, 'varied and somewhat eventful life,' James also provides us with a look into America's western expansion and growing reputation abroad. As a member of the crew of the America, he was on the schooner for which the famous America's Cup is named.

Becoming almost as outspoken as his famous father, James spoke and wrote about the abolition of slavery and other issues related to the Civil War. He even provided Abraham Lincoln with a draft of an Empancipation Proclamation and offered his own services if General Winfield Scott had anywhere to place one in his mid-seventies.

I'm also excited to share the cover of this book with my readers, because it features a portrait of James privately held by a descendant and therefore not often seen. With this image and much of what is between the covers, I hope you will agree that this book is one-of-a-kind. Thank you to all my readers who have supported me through the writing and publication process!
