 The holiday season has a way of stirring up nostalgia, doesn’t it? I find myself cherishing the magic of Christmas more than ever, and I’d love to share a slice of that joy with you. Back in the day, Christmas was simple yet enchanting. Our decorations weren’t just objects—they were stories. Each ornament on our tree, a modest pine we’d pick out together, had a tale to tell. Homemade garlands, shimmering tinsel, and twinkling lights turned our living room into a wonderland of love and laughter. The kitchen? That was the heart of our holiday home. The smells of baking pies and roasting turkey mingled with the laughter of everyone pitching in, making the season as warm as the oven that baked those treats. Gifts weren’t about price tags but about the care and thought behind them. A handmade scarf, a carved trinket—each gift was a treasure because of the love it carried. Fast forward to today, and while the world feels a little faster and flashier, the true spirit of Christmas hasn’t changed. It’s still about love, connection, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s the heartbeat of my holiday novel, A Mother for Christmas, a story I’m thrilled to share with you--absolutely free for a limited time. Set in a charming Victorian house in St. Augustine, A Mother for Christmas is filled with love, mystery, and the magic of the season. Sophie, the spirited protagonist, reminds us that life’s most unexpected moments often bring the greatest joy. So, as you deck the halls, bake cookies, or simply enjoy quiet moments with loved ones, remember the heart of Christmas. It’s not about the hustle or the glitter. It’s about the love we give, the memories we make, and the magic that ties it all together. From my heart to yours, may your holidays be filled with joy, peace, and plenty of stories to treasure. Merry Christmas! With love, Jackie XoXo Grab A Mother for Christmas at your Favorite Book Retailer

I'm still kicking! In fact, I'm chasing a litter of ferocious pooping kittens around my house. I also got to spend time with my daughter and great-grandson yesterday. He's as cute as a button with with creamy peach skin and silky brown hair! Happy child, too! Always a plus.
This happened... A bunch of stuff fell off my car (all plastic anymore), so I taped it up with pink duct tape. Now it's easy to find in a parking lot anyway. Yeah, I'm still drivin'! Enjoying life, and still writing, too! Sharing an updated new release with you today! Keep Reading, folks! It keeps us young...or at least knowing what the younger generation is thinking. Another plus! XoXo Jackie
