Jennifer fancies herself a more prolific writer than she really is and has an unnatural tendency to use words like "fancies" and "prolific" when describing herself. Please feel free to check out her ebook, The Role of a Lifetime from Samhain Publishing and her recent Avalon romance Georgie on His Mind--where she promises she didn't use either of those words in her stories.

Yup, that's us. We're all busy bees around here.

Here at Passionate Critters, many of us are preparing for the holidays, planning family time with our loved ones and counting blessings over what greatness we have. As the day approaches, I'm sure many are stuck in the kitchen and slaving over the bird, but me? I'm not allowed near a stove or anything flammable.
Along with Thanksgiving, Black Friday hovers around the corner and many are gearing up to knock out their Christmas shopping with the supposedly spectacular deals that many businesses are offering. Me? i'll just stay home away from the crowd and keep my toes from being stepped on or playing tug aware with the insistent mother who claims their kids needs this toy. It's safer for me that way.
Besides keeping it safe, I'm happy to announce the start of A Passionate Christmas releases from Decadent Publishing. Snowy Encounters will be released this Black Friday! Check out the other stories they will be soon available to complete the anthology!
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope the holidays will bring everyone joy and love!

Small town + Amazing Characters (a little contemporary, a lotta paranormal) + a dash of Snow = And what do you have?
A Passionate Christmas Anthology by Passionate Critters! Coming only to Decadent Publishing!
From contemporary to paranormal romance, this anthology has a taste of everything for every reader.
We have a great mix of characters, from On-probation Angels, Assassin Witches, Paranormal Investigators, and even the normal city girl on the run. All our unique voices came together to form a collection of short holiday stories that will leave you wanting more. How can you say ‘no’ to this bunch? Set in the small town of Five Oaks, anything is possible. Where mystery, passion, and magic collide…
This has been a great learning experience for all of us and we hope that this anthology will become a tradition that Passionate Critters will continue through the years.
More covers and news to come!

I have to admit that I LOVE the idea of an anthology. Epublishers are going gaga over novella length stories, similarly themed and sold together. Here's what I like….
1. short stories — the possibility of sitting to read an entire story without needing a bookmark is just AWESOME! A good book to sit down with at the end of the night…
2. new authors — I need new authors shoved down my throat. There are authors I would never have considered reading if I hadn't been coerced by that new anthology.
3. cheaper prices — new, hardback (or even paperback) mass market books are EXPENSIVE! Give me a novella length, epublished book any day, and I might be able to afford it. 
Lucky me, I have an awesome group of writers here who have just contracted a group of stories to be sold as a Christmas Anthology from Decadent Publishing! Whoot!
Congratulations, ladies.
I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT!

Writing Senior year- the best and worst year of my life….
I swung my oversized backpack over my shoulders and trudged through the halls. The jansport bag I got last Christmas was bigger than me, but it carried everything I needed for the nine periods of hell and I needed it to bat at any of the freshman kids in my way. Fresh meat loved standing in the middle of the halls. As a senior, you'd think the workload would be easy and light, and I'd have all the time to hang out at lunch break and maybe poke fun of some of the nerds in the corners talking about the math-atholons.
Oh, wait. That was me. I sat with the dorky kids in the corner, got attacked by spitballs, and laughed at by the head cheerleader, because of my snarly hair and pink braces.
Okay, so I like to think at times I was one of the cool kids, but hey, a girl can only dream, can't they? But I have to admit, I had it better than any of my friends. I got to hang out with him….yup, the school's hot football quarterback–the cutest kid in school. Alright, I do his homework. So sue me? It was still nice that he thought I was smart, unlike some of the other cliquey people who thought I was a loser. And boy, was he cute! One smile and my knees were weak. One touch and I wanted to faint.
Well, that was how I felt until I opened my eyes….
And now ten years later, I am still that dorky girl with glasses, minus the chubbiness. People change, people grow, and experiences only makes a person stronger.
Have you thought back to those good 'ole days and wonder what you could have changed about it? I grew up in a suburb town, my graduation class was small, but there were still a few hundred of us. My high school reunion just passed and I never went. Now I have regrets. I wonder what happened to the group of friends I sat with in the corner, the snobby cheerleader who looked down at everyone, and the cool football star, who probably didn't remember my name. I just remember giggling and laughing a lot, but also those dark moments of insecurity and doubts as an adolescent.
Some good, some bad memories, but I'm still here.
So come meet Cara Standford, ex-high school dork and hot God, Brant Thomas, her high school hot guy.
Home for a high school reunion, Fashion Editor-in-Chief, Cara Stanford has ulterior motives: make childhood crush and womanizing playboy, Brant Thomas, pay for the hell she endure ten years ago.
Except he doesn't remember her.
Though publically embarrassed by Cara at the reunion, Brant is intrigued by the beauty, who rejects his every pick-up line and charm. Never allowing a woman through his carefully erected barriers, she stirs up his past with her return, along with an undeniable passion. He sets out to seduce her until a series of accidental mishaps forces him to question Cara’s intentions.
Taken aback by her enemy’s suave attention, will Cara continue with her planned revenge or risk reopening her heart to Brant?
Unforeseen Reunion is available September 30, 2010 through Decadent Publishing!
So, what are your high school memories? Good or bad?
