Post Holiday Blues

Greetings friends and fans! I truly hope you all had a fab holiday season no matter where you happened to be, or who you were with.

Traditionally, this is crash and burn time - after the festivities come to a halt - or seem to. But the fun doesn't have to end yet! Here are some ideas on how to keep the celebrations going, or at least hold off the inevitable.


PEAR AND CRANBERRY BELLINI (from our party girl, Martha Stewart)

Ingredients

1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1 bottle Prosecco or other dry sparkling white wine

Directions

In a small pitcher or large liquid measuring cup, combine pear nectar and cranberry juice cocktail. Pour 1/4 cup juice mixture into each of eight champagne glasses. Dividing evenly, top with Prosecco or other dry sparkling white wine.

TITILLATING TUESDAY

Madison needs a short hiatus, to rest and to write. So, the first chapter of my next book will be posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Here's a little teaser to tide you over. 

A CLOUD OF HAWTHORNE

At Edith Hornbrook’s urging, Henley Hornbrook III presents the wealthy local beauty, Proberta Gerber, with a brilliant five caret yellow diamond ring.

Unremarkably handsome, and seemingly dull, inexperienced Henley sets out to learn the ways of women before his impending marriage. He discovers Rosetta, the exotic gypsy who lives in the forest near the Hornbrook estate, whose lessons in lust soon blossom into a torrid romance. So, when Henley’s cousin, the dashing Wesley Arbuckle, arrives for a visit, he is greeted by Proberta with more than an open heart. 

However, Henley’s growing suspicion of his mother’s meddling in his romantic affairs soon becomes clear, and with the help of Rosetta, and some clever manipulation, the cards held in the hand of destiny are revealed. 

Meanwhile, please do check back for daily blog blurbs, contests, and mini musings to brighten your days. Also, please sign up with your email address so I can add you to my mailing list.

Until then, The Happiest of the Holiday Season to you and yours. 

Warmly, ML XO
