I’m so excited that my novella, Christmas Carol , launches globally this week! But since I’ve had a complete scheduling fail, I'm hoping to get by with a little help from my friends :-)  We've accidentally chosen this Thursday, 48 hours before my wedding, for the official launch (I know, I know), and with 120 people coming from all corners of the world tomorrow, I'm afraid I might not have as much time as I'd like to be on FB/twitter. If you’ve got a moment to post a quick Facebook or twitter link to Christmas Carol any time this week, or just RT/share a post, that’d be great.  Amazon UK:  http://amzn.to/15SFTd9 Amazon US: http://amzn.to/1gZnuO8

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for this copy of Blackberry Winter .   I was given this in exchange for an honest review.   Sarah Jio has another great story! Synopsis: Vera and Claire have one thing in common they have both lost children.    One day in the present Claire a reporter is asked to write a story for the Seattle Herald about the last Blackberry Winter in 1933.   There was one major event where a child went missing.    While Claire investigates this story she is also dealing with a husband who is not really present in her life.   We also meet Vera the mother of the missing boy back in 1933.   Part of this story is told by Vera as she shares what happened during that winter.   What happened to Vera?   What happened to the little boy?   Will finding the answers help Claire to move on? My Thoughts: I liked this story and wanted to see how it turned out.    I had a hard time liking the character of Claire initially.   The author did a great job
