Merry Christmas to all…

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I’ll be spending it with my daughter & her family. You know, sometimes I miss the days when I was in the midst of Christmas for 8, all the wrapping, cooking, etc., but at this point in my life, I really love spending the day just being thankful for all the blessings He has given me. There’s nothing more important than God and family and I’m blessed to have both. My eldest son is home from Iraq, safe and whole, the rest of my kids are all healthy and relatively happy, my sister is my best friend and I’m surrounded by some of the strongest and most intelligent women in the literary world…Uh, oh, I cry at the drop of a hat! 

Just take a moment and reflect on your blessings. Love you all!

We Wish You a Merry♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ CHRISTmas♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪We Wish You a Merry ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪CHRISTmas ♥ ♥ ♥We Wish You A Merry ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪CHRISTmas ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪…And A Happy New Year!♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪…

Wassup Everybody?

OK, I’m a little silly today. It’s not every day an author gets mentioned on a list that includes Agatha Christie and my man, Stephen King! Check this out:  http://teawithmarce.blogspot.com/2009/12/additional-choices-for-thriller.html

I also wanted to mention I’m having a giveaway of 3 copies of Ace of Hearts 1st Edition at my good friend’s website, Book Reviews by Bobbie  http://bookreviewsbybobbie.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/book-giveaway-from-jean-holloway/  Please stop by and leave a comment.

Oh, and don’t forget my BOGO sale on amazon. Buy Black Jack, get it AND Ace of Hearts for $17.99 including shipping! If you’ve already read Ace and want  to give it to someone you know would enjoy a thriller, let me know & I’ll sign it to them.

Well, gotta go. I’m supposed to be editing!

Have a great weekend,

Jean

Well, I’ve come to the end of my tour and what an end it was! Last night, Holloway’s Halloween had a book signing Halloween Party @ The Social Bar and Patio Lounge in Houston, compliments of PHE Ink and Nia Promotions. Great crowd, good food and even better drinks! We’ll be posting pictures on facebook soon.

To all the Aceoholics who showed up, thank you for making this one of the best literary events I’ve ever had.  I even met some of my facebook friends & fans! I’m overwhelmed by the way everyone is responding to my novels. Talk about giving me the incentive to write!  

Now, drumroll, please…

The GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the ‘Banned from Vegas’ Virtual Tour is JOYCE DICKERSON. Joyce will be receiving a collection of seven of my favorite books and various promo items, T-shirts, bookmarks, baseball cap, etc.  Congratulations, Joyce!

Good Mornin’,

It’s finally a beautiful day in GA and I’m on my way to Houston! But before I left, I had to stop by my good friend, author Gail McFarland. Gail and I met online last year and then in person this year. She has a regal air, yet she’s so genuine, you can’t help but love her.

And that’s the topic for today – love.
