Happy Holidays and a chance to win

I want to wish all my friends online the very best for a Happy Holiday Season with friends and family. May you find yourself in a good place this weekend – with people you love, people you are comfortable with, or even just your own good company, a treat or two and some excellent books. I hope you have safe travels, good food, and moments of peace, grace and joy.

I’ve received so many intangible but invaluable gifts through the year from readers. Your words, comments, enthusiasm and even the criticisms you cared enough to make have been wonderful encouragement. Every time readers talk about one of my guys as if they were real, that validates my decision to share them with other people. Every time someone says my books entertained and distracted them, gave them pleasure, or affected them emotionally, that’s a reward to me. In a few cases I’ve been told a book of mine (particularly The Rebuilding Year) introduced a new reader to M/M in a way that has them looking for another book. That makes me happy. So many gifts.

May you all receive words that feed your soul this holiday season.

On the tangible side, I can’t repay all of that, but I’m going to offer 5 people chosen randomly any one ebook from my backlist. Did your budget not stretch to Home Work yet? Were you happy enough with a freebie of mine to consider buying something? Just leave a comment on either my Goodreads or my WordPress blog before 10 AM EST on Dec 26th and I’ll do a random drawing for 5 winners on Boxing Day (the 26th.) I will PM (Goodreads) or extract emails (WordPress.) So you don’t have to put your email in the comment openly to win, but you certainly may, especially on Goodreads if you don’t access your PM’s often. Good luck to all.

Happy Holidays everyone.
