I’m so excited to have a special guest author here today to help celebrate my new release, Forever Yours in Christmas Falls. Please give a warm welcome to: STACY CLAFLIN
Season’s greetings, everyone! Well, it isn’t actually the holidays quite yet is it? Unless you count Halloween. But luckily, thanks to books we can pretend it’s the fun and festive Christmas season year round!
Let me introduce myself in case we haven’t met. My name is Stacy Claflin and I’m a multi-genre author who loves writing sweet romance set in small seaside towns. My stories tend to have some issues of the heart, whether it be the loss of a family member, an alcoholic parent, or career problems. But no matter what happens, you can expect the stories to end with hope and a good dose of love.
I’m excited to help Susan celebrate the release of her newest book, Forever Yours in Christmas Falls. It sounds like a real page turner! In celebration of the release, I’d like to offer three winners an ebook copy of my sweet romance Seaside Christmas.
To enter, simply comment and share a favorite holiday tradition! One of my favorites is taking the kids to see Santa. It was a favorite of mine, and it’s fun to watch them experience it too.
About Seaside Christmas:
He can’t stand her. She thinks he’s crazy. Will their feelings stay etched in permanent ink?
Cruz Hunter has always stuck out in his small hometown. Now that he’s covered in tattoos, the residents peg him as even more of an outcast. It seems like the whole world is against his dream of opening a local tattoo parlor.
When he finally finds the perfect place for his new business, Cruz discovers a pastor and his daughter have already bought it. The only thing more irritating than the change in his plan is Talia, a beautiful and feisty argument in a dress. Cruz would like nothing more than to have her out of his life and his mind, but for some reason, she’s the only thing he can think about.
If Cruz and Talia can stop arguing long enough, opposites may do much more than attract.

My favorite thing to since my daughter was born nine years ago is to spend time with her each Christmas making gifts for her grandparents, aunts and uncles. We make something different each year 🙂

Staci Troilo says
Cruz’s story was one of my favorites. Glad to see it represented here.
I have a ton of favorite family traditions. It’s so hard to pick. If I have to choose one, I’ll pick four generations of women in our family getting together to bake Christmas cookies. Many hands made light work, and we always had so much fun doing it.
Stacy Claflin says
Kim, that sounds like such a special tradition!
Staci, that sounds like a lot of fun! I have fond memories of baking Christmas cookies with my mom and grandma that I’ll always remember!
Nancy H. Vest says
Lots of family traditions here, too. The most memorable one is the same as Staci’s – making Christmas cookies with my mom and sis, and then with my own girls once they were big enough. We still make them together even though my girls are grown. I haven’t read Seaside Christmas, but I read Seaside Kisses and loved it. 🙂
lisa Phillips says
The last four years I have thrown a Polar Express party for my grandchildren. We watch the movie, decorate cookies and make an ornament for their trees. Love my grands
Patricia Barber says
We love going and riding around and looking at Christmas lights 🙂
Doni says
Hi Stacy,
I love when my sister, nieces,
& myself can get together,
& bake Christmas cookies.
Thanks for the chance. 🎄
Stacy Claflin says
It sounds like cookies are a popular tradition. Maybe I can come over to all your houses over the holidays! 😉
Lisa, Polar Express is a great movie! My kids haven’t seen that in a while – I’m inspired to watch it with them this year!
Patricia, we love looking at lights too! We have a nearby neighborhood that goes all-out.
Pam Flynn says
Every year since I was a little girl our family (mostly my dad) would wait until bedtime on Christmas Eve, grab some jingle bells, sneak outside to my window & jingle them. I always thought it was Santa! I kept the tradition going when I had a little girl, & now my daughter keeps it going with my 7 yr. old granddaughter. It brings back so many memories for me & hopefully the tradition will continue when my granddaughter has a family.
Kimberly Lane says
We always go driving around lookijng at Christmas Lights with the kids.
Stephanie says
Hi Stacy,
We spend Christmas Eve with our Parents it’s their Anniversary so we get to celebrate their marriage and Christmas all together. This year will be extra special since it’ll be our last Christmas with my niece and great nephew for a few years. She’s moving to Japan with her husband who is in the service.
Brenda Hahn says
We always eat meat pie for Christmas Eve dinner and I love to look at all the Christmas lights.
Cora Hannold says
I love to make Christmas cookies & give them to family, friends & neighbors.
Denise M Austin says
My favorite tradition is on the day after Thanksgiving starting my collection of Christmas stories and only reading Christmas books until the last day of the year I look forward to it all year. I already have a good start but I need more books to read this year.
Brenda Hahn says
Putting all of the ornaments on the Christmas tree. I relive memories as I put special ones on the tree…..

My favorite holiday tradition would be getting together and making Christmas cookies with my sisters. I do love seeing the Christmas decorations too.

Seaside Christmas sounds wonderful. So many traditions. One is decorating the whole house right after Thanksgiving while playing Christmas music. Another is the whole family getting together for a huge dinner.
Linda May says
I love to put the Christmas tree up after Thanksgiving & make cookies with my 2 Grandsons.

Every Christmas, we all open one gift and it is Christmas pajamas. No matter how young or old, you have to wear them while we eat, drink and just spend quality family time.
