I hope everyone is planning exciting and fun - filled Christmas and New Year's gatherings. Whether you party or just get together as families to catch up on the past year, this is a wonderful time of the year, so enjoy.

Our family is small, but we create a lot of enthusiasm over gathering to eat, open gifts and celebrate each other's accomplishments. This year has been good to all of us, and that we're thankful for.

Last year I began to publish E books, which is an exciting adventure in itself. So far only some of my back list is up on Kindle, but the four books are doing quite well, with two more to come early next year. Check out this link for all four: http://www.tinyurl.com/7dr9mbn

I'm really pleased to announce the release of Wolf Song from SynergE Books. Go here to read the synopsis and pre - order the book. http://www.synergebooks.com/ebook_wolfsong.html

If you keep up with my blog, you know that my story, A Day at the Snake House, read for the radio show, Tales From The South, has been chosen to be included in their anthology, The Best of Tales From the South, due out in 2012.

One more Shameless Promotion, then I'll stop. My latest Western Historical Romance, Stone Heart's Woman, will be released in Feb. 2012 from The Wild Rose Press. This will be an E book and a paperback.

More information on all my books, as well as first chapters and/or excerpts, can be found on my website and here on Author's Den.

Hope you're all expecting an E Book reader for Christmas. If not, why not? As writers we need to keep up with what's hot.

I've been asked to repeat my workshop on publishing to Kindle, which was held in October of 2011, and so I've set up another all - day affair on March 17, 2012 at Ozark Folkways in Winslow. If you're interested in attending, email me and I'll get all the information to you.

Stay in touch, and let me know what you're writing and how it's going. If anyone needs help with any part of your writing, holler. Let me know if there's any problem receiving all the information on this newsletter.

Best Wishes, Velda
