My guest today is Myla Jackson who writes for several publishers – Ellora’s Cave, Kensington Aphrodisia and Avon Red. She’s a very busy lady! Her most recent release is Thorn’s Kiss, which came out last week. Thorn’s Kiss is book two in the City of Wolves series.
And I might add, Myla has written some wonderful genie books for Ellora’s Cave. See my post regarding genie books in early December for details!
Today Myla is talking about series and she’s giving away a download from her backlist to one lucky commenter. All you need to do is post a comment and you’re in the draw! And don’t forget to check back in the comments section the next day to see if you’re the winner.
There’s a slight delay with the next post, so meantime I’m going to talk about Christmas carols. What is your very favorite Christmas carol, and which one could you go a million years without ever hearing again?
My very favorite Christmas carol is Snoopy’s Christmas, performed by the Royal Guardsman in 1967. It’s a fictional story about Snoopy who has to go out and fight the Red Baron on Christmas eve, although this really did happen in 1914.
During World War I, in 1914, an event known as “The Christmas Truce” took place between the Germans and the British, initiated not by the commanders, but by the soldiers themselves. The enemies exchanged small gifts such as beer (from the Germans to the British) and tobacco and tinned meat (from the British to the Germans). “No Man’s Land” was cleared of the dead bodies, the trenches were repaired and drained, and the troops from both sides shared pictures of their families with each other and, in some places, even using “No Man’s Land” to engage in friendly games of football (soccer in the U.S.).
The song was inspired by Snoopy the dog from the “Peanuts” cartoon strip.
The Christmas carol that makes me cringe the most is Stevie Nicks singing Silent Night. Apologies if you’re a fan but to me there’s nothing “silent” about this song at all. Thankfully, I’ve yet to hear it so far this year!
So, which song is your favorite? Which makes you cringe? Everyone who comments will go into the draw to win a download of the anthology From the Deep. Check back in the comments tomorrow to see if you’re the winner.
