Christmas in July with Author Lucy Monroe & Friends!

Merry Christmas in JulyAs many of you know, Christmas is my favorite holiday. I start shopping for gifts during the summer, decorating my home way too early, and watching X-Mas movies well before Thanksgiving (all year long, actually...). This slight obsession inspired me to write several holiday novels over the years. From sweet to spicy to suspenseful, the subgenres of each book vary. But one thing remains the same--they all celebrate Christmas. 

This year, I have teamed up with ten other authors to celebrate our holiday books during this festive mid-summer season. Keep reading for all the deets on the participating writers and our joyful romance books. Then stick around for more on my X-Mas reads! πŸŽ„
