New Christmas Books


I know today is Thanksgiving. I also know that people are now beginning to think about Christmas presents. I wanted to make sure you knew about the Christmas Romances we’ve published this year.

First, Betsy Love has crafted the most wonderful Hallmark-esque romance, The Miracle of Joie. Joie is an elf, and has been sent by Mrs. Claus on a special assignment: Eight-year-old Emily needs a mother. Complicating her task is that there’s only a week left before Christmas. To make matters even worse, Emily’s father, Matt, is still grieving the loss of his wife in the auto accident that also put Emily in a wheelchair for life. To top it all off, another elf, Wink, is obsessed with getting Joie to return to the North Pole Kingdom and marry him.

When events turn Joie into a human, she loses her magic. The success of her mission seems impossible, but she still has her wits. Can Joie get everything fixed in time?

Next is Keri Brooks McWhorter’s Second Love in New York City. Madelyn and Ben – and their families – have been best friends since they moved in next door to each other. When Madelyn’s husband Luke died, she swore she’d keep her marriage vows by remaining single for the rest of her life. Since Ben joined the widower club, they’ve relied on each other for everything. Best friends to the end.

Now Madelyn’s daughter and Ben’s son are getting married. Everyone’s headed to New York for the Christmas wedding, including Heather, the woman Ben’s been dating. Will Heather succeed in breaking up Madelyn and Ben’s friendship, or will they discover the love that’s been bubbling beneath the surface all these years?

If that's not enough Christmas romance for you, check out Natalie Peck's A Gigolo for Christmas. It's not new this year, but it's still a good fun read.

Shelia Everett couldn't have imagined a worse company Christmas party. By the end of the evening, she'd been fired and evicted. Fortunately, her boss' date, Anders Adamson, was willing to help her repair the damage. He even offered to help her get a job at his escort service. What's a good girl to do when she discovers she's fallen in love with a gigolo?

It's been a little longer than forever since the last post, and I can't really explain what happened. It may have had something to do with launching of the newsletter, which duplicated much of the information on the blog. You can sign up for our newsletter on the front page at The Electric Scroll, and then you know you won't miss anything new, exciting, or important.
The staff at The Electric Scroll has been very busy. I can't believe that we've published 53 books in only six years, particularly with how small our staff is. It's incredible.
We've had the chance to work with some great writers, including Natalie Peck, Scott Ashby, C R Simper, Betsy Love, and most recently, Keri Brooks McWhorter.
Keri released a wonderfully cute romance novella named Second Love in New York City last June.
Scott has written two more Cavaliers novels, Terror on Terradia and Court Martial on the Charys, that are in line to be published soonish, and is hard at work writing the first of three more Cavaliers novels telling the story of how the Aubria got from Timora to Terradia.
Betsy just finished a Christmas novel named The Miracle of Joie, and it should be available late in November.
In September, The Electric Scroll opened a new division, dedicated to helping authors publish independently. We call it the author services division. We offer editing, formatting, and cover-making services at fair, but generally low-prices.
If you know your manuscript needs well-trained extra eyes on it, you can borrow ours.
If you're freaking out about the merger between CreateSpace and Amazon, you don't need to worry.
If you need a manuscript formatted for print at the new Amazon platform, we've got you covered.
If you want to publish in eBook too, we format for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.
If you need a cover, we can help you make an eBook (front) cover.
If you already have a front cover, we can craft a spine and back cover for your print book.
We can also make the entire full-wrap cover for you.
And, once you've approved the files, we can even upload the files for you.

If you want to know more about author services, come talk to me on Facebook. Or if you want to talk about publishing your book with us. Or if you want to just talk.
