All I want for Christmas.... By S. E. Smith
All I want for Christmas....
By S. E. Smith
All I want for Christmas this year is... LOL. I know, as you get older that question seems to get harder and harder to find the answer to. This year, though, I have a lot to be thankful for. My daughter is expecting her second son this Friday so there will be a new baby for Christmas. So, the first thing I want is for her and the baby to be safe and healthy. It has been a difficult pregnancy for her and I have been very worried. It will be nice to know that she and the baby will finally be okay.
When I write my stories, I think about the things that are important to me. The biggest is family and friends. I love having my family around me during the holidays. Love and laughter are the essence of the holidays and I greedily wrap my arms around it when the kids come over. I find myself carrying on the traditions of my family, blending them with the traditions of my husband's, and mixing them with new ones that I am creating for my own children. What is amazing is watching my own children begin to do the same as they grow older.
This is the first Christmas since I have begun writing full time. This past year has been a time of learning, growing, and accepting the changes that have occurred in my life. I look forward to seeing what 2015 has to offer and am excited to see how my family and friends continue to grow and change, as well.
So, for this Christmas all I want is to say thank you to everyone who has believed in me and my stories. Thank you for sharing your lives with me, your wonderful stories, and opening your hearts and minds to my amazing characters. I hope to share many more with you in the next year.
I would love to hear what you would like for Christmas! Start with All I want for Christmas...
Happy Holidays,

Touching Rune: Heaven Sent Book 2 is a wonderful book that has a few Christmas surprisesin it.
Synopsis:
Rune August embraces her life in New York City in 1894. She has
lived again and again through many different time periods, but has never found
tranquility until she walked into St. Agnes Home for Orphans. In her heart, she
believes she has found a place she can call home. She will do everything she
can to give the children in the orphanage a better life. When a developer sets his sights on the property she and the
children call home, she doesn’t hesitate to fight back - and win. But that win
comes at a terrible price... her life… casting her once again into the shadows.
Refusing to leave the children
unprotected, she watches over and protects them in a different form… as the
beloved statue in their center garden. But her time as the children’s guardian
angel draws to a close when the orphanage is renovated. Rune finds herself
packed away and sold. Her new home is now far away from the familiar streets of
New York and the children she loves.
Sergei Vasiliev and his best
friend and bodyguard, Dimitri Mihailov, run one of the most powerful computer
software development companies in the world. Both men carry deep scars from
their life on the streets and from living in the world of the ultra-rich.
Sergei knows men want him for his power and women want him for his money.
Dimitri knows that some men and women would do anything to gain the secrets
their company is developing.
Their lives change when Sergei
purchases a statue for their home outside of Moscow. There is something about
the statue of the young woman that touches an unexpected need deep inside both
of them.
An impulsive purchase and a simple
wish will change their lives forever. For anyone who touches Rune learns that
love and hope are what makes the world a better place. Can she warm the hearts
of two bitter, scarred men before the last petal falls from the Christmas rose
that grows in the garden that has become her new home or will she be forever
frozen, destined to only love them from afar?

billionaire who has reinvented himself over and over again through the

things are for sale.
Things heat up when the
irritating, young ‘human’ woman refuses to play the game by his rules. She isn’t
impressed with his wealth. She isn’t impressed with his looks. In fact, she

teeth!

centuries old Werewolf discovers he isn’t the only creature who loves to bite.
