I know. I know. It’s late August. No sleighs are skimming the snow. In fact, most places in the northern hemisphere are hotter than hell! So why do I want to talk about Christmas. If you’re in the ‘book business’ now is the time the finishing touches go into the holidays publishing process. Since I have a short story in a book that will be released for this Christmas, naturally, I’m excited. The book my short story will appear in is titled, “Christmas Cookies.” This anthology is a companion piece to the OAK RIDGE BOYS’ album carrying the same name. One of the Oaks has a story included in the book. My story is “Aunt Elvira’s Jewels,” a cozy Christmas mystery. The book is to be published by Ally and pre-pub orders can be placed November 1st. It will be in stores soon after. These will make great gifts; can’t miss music and can’t miss reading.
Many of you have asked whether my book ‘A Christmas Story Collection‘ would be available again this year. YES! It is very, very popular! There will be no order size restrictions, last year’s run was limited, for those of you that wish to order as presents for friends, relatives and business associates. YES! There will be a 20% discount for orders of six or more placed directly through my website … http://www.dlhavlin.com … and YES, I’ll sign them if you wish.
For those of you that are asking about new books: I don’t have a release date from FlashPoint for the first book of my SLY HARRELL series, ‘The Grave with Greener Grass.” I’m hoping for spring of 2022 with the next two following close behind. The second book of the Harper Sturgis, Iron Lady series should be available by November or before. ‘Out of Italy,’ is a historical novel, set in Tuscany, full of info for WWII readers, that is an on-the-edge-of-your-chair read that has Harper treasure hunting for a nation’s wealth. Check my webpage for availability.
Hey…You only get one life! Enjoy it!
