Tomorrow the eBook version of The Ghost and the Christmas Spirit goes live at all the major eBook vendors. You can click here to find links to the various vendors, where you can preorder today for delivery in the morning.
The paperback versions of the book are already up on Amazon. The book is available in regular print and large print format.
When finishing a book, do you ever want to chat with someone who has also read it? Maybe you want to discuss the plotline, vent about one of the characters, or question something about the storyline.
Maybe you want to debate the premise of the story—or question where the writer is taking the reader.
While you might be tempted to do this online in one of your readers’ groups, what you don’t want to do is give away spoilers to someone who hasn’t yet had a chance to read the book. This is especially a problem if you are chatting about a book in one of the author’s Facebook groups.
If it is a Haunting Danielle Book you want to chat about—or ask questions—you now have a place to do this. I have set up a group for each book in the Haunting Danielle series. I only ask that you join a specific group if you have already read that book.
Actually, there are four things I will ask of you before entering one of the groups. The first I already mentioned. Only join a group after you have finished the book.
Second, don’t give away spoilers to future books in the group. If you are in a group for book 20, but you have also read book 21, don’t discuss anything about book 21 while in group 20.
And the third thing—while it is okay if the conversation drifts to other topics, please, no politics.
The final and forth thing I ask of book club members—please be respectful of fellow members. You don’t have to agree with everyone, but be respectful.
Book files for The Ghost and the Christmas Spirit are now downloaded on the various vendor sites, ready for its November 21 release. In my mind, Christmas itself, in spite of the fact I have been writing about it for the last three months, is a good ways off in the distance. But alas, I just peeked at a calendar and realize it is about time to bring out the Christmas decorations.
I have a busy few weeks ahead of me. In three days, The Ghost and the Christmas Spirit goes live. I am encouraged by the positive feedback from my beta readers. Some—not all—of the books in the Haunting Danielle series are murder mysteries—some are simply mysteries of another order. This new release—Book 23—is not a murder mystery. While there have been murders—or would-be murders—in past Haunting Danielle Christmas books, this newest one focuses on the true meaning of Christmas.
The day after Book 23 comes out I turn sixty-five. Yikes, where did the years go??? One positive note on turning sixty-five —aside from still being alive—I went on Medicare this month.
Next week we move onto Thanksgiving. So far, it will be just Hubby, Mom, and me. Oh, and the pups and cat, of course. Unfortunately, our daughter’s family is up in Alaska—and our son and daughter-in-law are in Portland. None can make it here for Christmas or Thanksgiving, and we are unable to travel there. I am thankful for Facetime.
The week following Thanksgiving, I get ready for a visit from my sis, and then our local WNEA Shopping Extravaganza on December 7th, which officially kicks off the Christmas season for me. I’ll be having a book booth at the extravaganza. But more about that later.
