You may or may not have seen the post on evbishop.com where I shared my excitement about having sold my first story to be published under a pen name . . . UNFORTUNATELY I can’t link to said news because my website is still down . FORTUNATELY the hacking-jerks can’t corrupt my happy feelings re: so much good news this month. 
In addition to my short story “The Picture Book” being published by Every Day Fiction magazine last week, I was just notified that The Present by Toni Sheridan has hit the virtual shelves. As I’m quite close to Toni (ahahaahahaha!) I am thrilled for her news. If you’re looking for a fun, romantic read (that inspires warm cozy feelings and maybe some thought, too) to get you in the Christmas spirit, I’d love for you to read it.
Well, take that hackers! (I don’t know . . . Maybe I should keep my website down permanently. It seems to bring good news for my writing life! 
)
Hope you’re having a happy reading/writing week, too.

p.s. Check out THE PRESENT’S cover. I love it!

Thanks for the condolences, Laura–I should have my website (in some form or another) up again in December. And yay for you liking the cover.

Ive been recovering from pneumonia this last week–I downloaded your book and it was the perfect candy (hehe) for sick yucky days. Was light, warm, and made me smile. Thanks, Ev

Aw, Jennifer, thanks! That is a lovely thing to hear. I hope you’re better very soon–but that you get to sneak in more fun Christmas reads even when you’re well.
