He's a little late, but he's finally here! JC Wallace brings us some snow, treats and 3 different reads for this Holiday season!
Hi, everyone! Welcome to the
TNT Confidential 12 Days of Christmas!!
Thanks for having me again
this year! I will give you some info about me and the holidays!
In addition, I’ve included a
link to my holiday story, Waiting for Snow (free on Amazon) and my latest free
short, Pink Lace and A Stolen Proposal. Enjoy!
What is your favorite thing about the
holidays?
Family. I love to spend time with my family, taking
the time to relax, bake, and participate in holiday traditions. Over the years
I have passed these traditions onto my children. My daughter says some of her
best memories were of Christmas morning in our house.
What
inspired you to write your story?
I wanted to
write a story that shows that not everyone has it easy over the holidays. Many
people are alone or find it hard to find the joy of the season. But despite
that there is the ability to move forward and stop living in the past, to find
hope and to eventually accept love. That is what Dain has to overcome to find
his happiness.
Share a holiday recipe.
I love to make Peanut Butter Blossoms with my kids. They are fun and taste so good!

Waiting for Snow
Dain is at the end of his proverbial rope. He lost his
job, his boyfriend, and his church after one horrifying accident a few months
ago. Now it's Christmas Eve, and he's reminded of each of those loses in a
heart-breaking confrontation with his abusive father. As Dain is driving
aimlessly, he meets Jake, the local sheriff. Despite the circumstances of their
meeting, Jake is very interested in Dain, but can Dain let go of the past and
learn to believe in love again?

what I like about Christmas is spending time with family. It's nice to reconnect with family members. We made cookies yesterday. 75 to 100 dozen. Snicker Doodles, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Chocolate chip, Chocolate Pinwheels, Pecan tarts, Mexican Cheese Cookies, Molasses gingerbread man. It was a long day. May you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI like the recipe and I enjoyed reading the blurb Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteJC, I like about Christmas the traditions. They have been handed down in the family and then practiced when I grew up and now I am trying to live them, to connect to my past and a happy childhood. Not really a champion in the kitchen I cook only on two ocasions throughout the year. One of them is the traditional Christmas Eve dinner, potatoes, Sauerkraut and Bratwurst (yeah, I am German ;) ). Looking forward to reading more of you.
