Welcome to my annual 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS! 

If you’re new to this – here’s how it works:

1.   Each day from December 1 through December 12 I will put up a new giveaway HERE on my website with instructions on how to enter, a detailed description of the prize, and some stuff about the book or series. Each giveaway is different and each has ONE WINNER. MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL 

2.   Each giveaway runs UNTIL DECEMBER 13.

3.   Winners are CHOSEN and NOTIFIED on December 14. I will be notifying winners USING THE EMAIL USED TO COMMENT ON THIS BLOG – and all winners will BE LISTED AT THE TOP OF EACH GIVEAWAY POST HERE ON MY WEBSITE on December 14.

4.   Winners have 24 hours to respond, then another winner will be chosen.

5.   ALL PRIZES WILL BE MAILED ON DECEMBER 15.  If I’m waiting on a winner to respond and they miss the December 15 mail date, that prize will be mailed when I get around to it. I live in the middle of nowhere so a trip to the post office is a “thing” for me. 🙂 So make sure you’re checking for winners on the 14th.

6.   I will send newsletters announcing giveaways on December 1, December 6, December 12, and a Winner newsletter on December 14. I NEVER send this many newsletters in a month so sorry if that feels spammy. 

7.   You can also FOLLOW MY BLOG. I will also make a blog post HERE announcing ALL WINNERS on the 14th. If you want to follow this blog there will be a form at the bottom of each post to do that. Then you get an email when I POST HERE. I don’t do that often – December is the exception because of the 12 Days and my yearly “Wrap-up” post.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

    Reply

    1. I love Christmas cutout cookies but there are so many other good ones. I love spritz cookies or even just almond bark pretzels. My sisters and I get together every Christmas season and make thousands of cookies to give away. One of my favorite parts of the holiday season.

      Reply

    2. So my family makes a “Mock Baby Ruth Bars” and this is my fav. it is an oatmeal and karo syrup bottom, and a choc chip and peanut butter “frosting” on top………so good

      Reply

    Reply

  6. I don’t have a favourite. I can’t bake and that’s a good thing because I’m addicted to sugar and would never stop lol. Your cookies look good! I need to find someone to buy from. They’re cute. I don’t go by looks as long as they taste good anyway. They could be any kind of weird shape and I’d happily buy them all 😅

    Reply

    Otherwise anything chocolate.

    Reply

  13. My favorite Christmas cookies are the sugar cookies are a recipe from my great grandmother. There’s nutmeg in this old recipe. It’s a tough recipe to use. Finding just the right amount of flour while rolling them out is the key to a great tasting cookie.

      Reply

  56. Definitely Scottish Shortbread. It’s slightly sweet, not frosted or rolled into shapes. It’s pressed into a pan and cut into squares. Sometimes it becomes breakfast because I wake up thinking of it when it’s in the fridge.

    Reply

  58. Italian Ricotta cookies….sooo yummy and these butter/walnut cookies my mom used to call “turds” b/c of their shape. 🙂

    Reply

  59. My mom makes these spritz cookies from some recipe she found 50 years ago. THE BEST spritz cookies. She tried a different recipe one year, the cookies were aaaawful. I took the whole 3 dozen batch to work and let my coworkers eat all the second rate cookies.

    Reply

  60. Every Christmas my must have is mince pies due to my husband being born in England.
    Thank you for this fabulous chance

    Reply

  69. Hmmm tricky to pick just one …sooo I’m a bit of a European mongrel so the English in me loves Apple Crumble and Custard, the French in me loves a Buche de Noel and the German bit loves lebkuchen! I think the Swedish and Greek parts in me just love eating! X

    Reply

  76. I love orange chocolate. The one that’s shaped like an orange and you smack it on the table and the orange pieces separate. Yum!

    Reply

  77. My family calls them Grandma’s Dunkers, and I don’t remember my Grandma ever telling us different. Not the easiest cookie to mix, but once that part is done they are slice and bake. A great cookie with coffee.

    Reply

  81. I love gingerbread and I can’t seem to have the wherewithal to make them till Christmas. But I guess that just makes them better.

    Reply

  83. The only must have is spritz cookies. Bonus items include sugar cookies (not the pre packaged ones, the nice and crumbly melt in your mouth kind.)

    Reply

  88. Gingerbread cookies, but I also love cutout sugar cookies. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to share your great aunt’s recipe?

    Reply

  89. I love these almond finger cookie things my mom used to make. But my favorite is chocolate covered peanut butter balls. Yum! No self control with those around.

    Reply

  90. Love sugar cookies but my favorite are the mini pecan cookie bites and peanut butter cookies my grandma taught me to make!

    Reply

  92. I love pumpkin pie bars, a shortbread crust with layer of pumpkin pie. The problem is my daughter is not a fan. Our new tradition is cheesecake. For Thanksgiving we had strawberry crumble cheesecake.

      Reply

  99. I don’t have just one favorite X-mas cookie. 😂 I love thumbprints, those snowball cookies–I can’t remember the name of them–, chocolate crinkles, gingerbread man, shortbread, and anything that is peanut butter.

    Reply

  102. I love Christmas cookies. All of them. But my favorites are crinkle cookies. It’s a tie between lemon crinkle and chocolate crinkle. Lock me up with a book, hot tea, and these cookies and I’d be a happy girl. 😊

    Reply

  104. Hi, I’m so obsessed with all of your books. I want all of them! My favorite Christmas cookie has to be soft chewy sinker-doodles!

    Reply

  105. It is not a cookie, but it’s a very traditional cake during Christmas season in Chile, it’s called “Pan de Pascua” flavored with rum (or pisco, Chileno of course) filled with dried fruits and nuts. Usually it is served with another very traditional breveage, called “Cola de mono”, it contains mainly aguardiente, milk, sugar, coffee, and cloves. I already had some Pan de Pascua because is so yummy.

    Reply

  113. Molasses Cookies, It was tradition to make them every year with my dad. I have so many fond memories of making them with him & my brother & sisters.

    Reply

  116. Loving Dark Men is my everything! But my favorite Christmas dessert is Christmas crack – chocolate, peanut butter, and peanuts in the crock pot. It’s so rich, you can’t eat much at once, but my favorite part is that my girls looooove it so when they come for Christmas, it must be on the table!

    Reply

  117. My husband says its not really a holiday treat but i beg to differ Thanksgiving and christmas is the only time we have PB fudge therefore its mt favorite Holiday treat

    Reply

  121. We make sugar cookies that the kids decorate. They look forward to doing it and having fun. My favorite is fruit cake cookies. A lot of trouble but you can’t eat just one!

    Reply

  122. Oh my, asking me to pick a fave dessert is like asking me to pick a fave child 😉 I’m a sweets girl, so it’s hard, but my Mama’s dear friend would make pumpkin squares as a kid & she gave us the recipe when I was a teen & I still love them! Think pumpkin pie but with a streusel like top instead of a pie crust on the bottom. So delicious!

    Reply

  124. Cut out sugar cookies – made with my dad. They’d be tasty regardless but keeping the tradition going makes everything taste better

    Reply

  127. I love frosted gingerbread cookies and what we call forgotten cookies. Forgotten cookies are a meringue cookie with chocolate chips or walnut pieces in them. As you’re making them, you have the oven preheating but when you’re ready to put the cookies in you turn the oven off and “forget” about them for the next 12 hours. When done right, they just melt in your mouth.

    Reply

  129. My favorite dessert was anything my mom made. Except anything with coconut in it! Now that she’s gone I have her treasured recipe box. Whatever I make from it I know she’s adding a little bit of love.❤❤

    Reply

  130. My favorite to eat and bake are Russian Tea Cakes. I’ve been using the same recipe for years and made right, they melt in your mouth. I’ve had a long time tradition with my children…we get together every year and bake cookies…now the grandkids do the cut out cookie decorating. We have a blast!

    Reply

  132. My favorite is white chocolate covered pretzels. You can now find them in stores all the time (flipz) but my family and I have been making them since I was a kid, making a huge mess of the melted chocolate is as much a part of the tradition as eating them now lol.

    Reply

  134. I have a few favorites: Spumoni ice cream ( when I can find it), my friend Kathy’s sour cream chocolate chip cookies, My friend Tami’s blondies, coconut balls, and buckeyes. If I wasn’t diabetic, I could live on this stuff. Oh, yeah, can”t forget the cheesecake and the dark chocolate cake with the pecan-caramel-coconut frosting! Yum!

    Reply

  135. I do love cut out sugar cookies, but I have to say the Russian Teacake is my favorite holiday treat.

    Reply

  136. I have two holiday favorites: Christmas cutout cookies (I thought yours looked yummy btw) and white chocolate puff corn (or Christmas crack, as we call it).

  143. My sister makes a black forest trifle that is absolutely to die for. She only makes it once a year at Christmas so it’s my seasonal favorite 🙂

    Reply

  145. Again, we agree Julie. My favorite is cutout sugar cookies too. With peanut butter blossoms being a close second. Enjoy!🎄☃️🎅🏼

    Reply

  146. I love my mom’s almond crescents!!! They are so light with almond flavor and powdered sugar!!! My mom is no longer here but when I start baking these at Christmas I feel like she’s their with me. Ty! So much for chance at a another great prize.💕💋

    Reply

  147. I love cherry buckeye cookies, they are like the buckeye cookies with a Hershey Kiss in the middle but instead of a peanut butter cookie it is a cherry cookie. YUM!

    Reply

  150. My mother would make this coffee cake with chocolate chips on top and a layer of chocolate chips that would melt within the cake itself. Sometimes she would switch it up by turning this into cupcakes (altho, tbh, I don’t know how she managed to get the same effect w the cupcakes as well). But I’m not a baker. At the time, I could eat as much as I wanted — no problem. But since my metabolism has changed, I leave larger amounts for the kids and just eat much smaller pieces with, perhaps some vanilla ice cream to make the entire treat less sweet! It’s unbelievably good and probably 5 million Valerie’s per bite… 🥰🥰🥰

    Reply

  152. My grandma’s carrot cake! It’s very simple but sooo delicious! And short bread butter cookies 😊

    Reply

  153. My mom made cranberry walnut cookies every year. Sometimes she would add dates from our tree as well. They sound weird but they were so good. I have tried to recreate them time and time again to no avail. She left no written recipe. So, they will remain a lost yummy childhood memory.

    Reply

  154. My mom makes the best Chess Bars. (What we call them) They are a thick lemony custard on top of a graham crackery cakeish crust. So yummy

    Reply

  157. Favorite cookie is No Bake Cookies (Preacher Man Cookies). My mother used to make 2 dozen of them every year at Christmas. That was the only time she would make them.

    Reply

  159. We have a family cookie recipe from my great grandmother. It’s like a shortbread but it is flavored with cardamom.

    Reply

  160. I love my mama’s homemade pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving and I love fudge or cheesecake on Christmas (the cheesecake has a bottom layer of chocolate cookie crust, a layer of cooked not instant chocolate pudding and the top layer is cheesecake).

    Reply

  161. I love watergate Salad! It is more of a traditional thing . I have had it at Christmas every year for as long as I can remember, my mom always made sure it was on the dinner table every Christmas, it is such a simple dessert but even when my parents struggled financially at Christmas it was the one thing I knew would be ion the Christmas dessert table !

    Reply

  162. I make chocolate cookie cutouts, the Greek cookies with the powdered sugar, chocolate crinkles and shortbread cookies with mini chocolate chips. Yum 😋

    Reply

    1. I love baking lots of different things! I usually spend about a week making gift baskets of treats for family and friends. If I had to choose 1 favorite it would be a Toblerone chocolate shortbread. I love trying different ways to make shortbread cookies a little extra!

      Reply

    Reply

  176. When I was a teen, my mom’s friend, Wilma, always made us a confection called John Wayne’s Balls. Delicious chocolate, coconut, sweet milk, I think there was graham crackers. I know I have the recipe somewhere but I haven’t discovered it since we’ve been in our new home. But it’s in a safe place! 😉

    Reply

  179. I love baking at Christmas..shortbread is my favourite with my chocolate orange shortbread and my toblerone shortbread being family favs.. I make 25-30 different cookies each year and then giveaway tins of the goodies to friends and neighbours.

    Reply

  190. My mother’s butter cookie recipe, which we used to make every year before she died, is a treasured favorite. Sometimes we’d use the cookie press to make long narrow cookie logs, cut them when still warm, then press two together using melted chocolate (picture Italian cookies, just more homemade and yummy). Her cookies were always so special.

    Reply

    1. My best friend’s mother makes Holiday/Christmas cookies for people every year. There’s a particular cookie, I dont know the name of it, has orange zest and coconut (I hate coconut) with a thin glaze on top. I swear, I live for these cookies come Christmas. I’ve dreamt about this damn cookie! 😆 😍

  198. Snowballs are my all time favorite cookie but I also look forward to Pizzelles and Kolachi (nut rolls). I’m going to start making the Kolachi this week so I can mail some to my family members up north. I’m the only one who carried on the tradition of making Kolachi in the family.

    Reply

  203. I love making desserts like cookies and nothing beats making an awesome gingerbread house but to eat it’s all about the abundance of fudge available this time of year! Chocolate mint and chocolate peanut butter specifically.

    Reply

  204. Pecan pie torte. It’s just thinner, about 1” thick instead of a pie 21/2” thick. Same taste, less calories but delicious.

    Reply

  212. My favorite holiday treat is my Grandma Eula’s “nut bread.” Better known as Povitica, it is a yeast-raised dough rolled into thin sheets and topped with a sweet walnut filling that gets rolled up jellyroll-style and baked in a loaf pan. My grandmother made a hundred loaves each year, and everyone in the family got one wrapped in aluminum foil tied with a red curl ribbon bow. Delicious!

  248. Definitely my mom’s homemade Christmas candies. For over 50 years, she had spent all of Thanksgiving week off work (or during retirement just during that week) making between 25 and 40 different kinds of candy to share with friends and neighbors, co-workers and loved ones. When I was a little girl up until I left home at 23, I would help. As I got older, I’d be handed one of the recipes and simply be asked to just make that one. I had three sisters who also helped, one of whom has since passed away.

    This year is the first year Mom won’t be making her candies. First, she will be 80 in May. She’s tired. It’s a lot of work to do it all by herself, and she just simply doesn’t want to do it anymore. Second, all of the ingredients are not currently available due to the ongoing covid shortages on this and that. She tried to buy some ingredients for just a smaller amount of candies, but she couldn’t even find enough to do just a few recipes.

    She’ll be emailing her recipes out to her remaining daughters and all of the grandchildren since we all loved her candies so much. Many have turned out to be terrific cooks (my own kids included) and desperately want to duplicate their favorites from Grandma’s recipes. I can’t wait to have some chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. They put Reese’s to shame. LOL

  300. My favorite Christmas cookies are Snowballs, they are packed with a ton of chopped pecans then I like to roll them in powdered sugar when still warm out of the oven, but the secret is to roll them in the sugar two more times, because the cookies aren’t sweet at all, but they melt in your mouth along with the powdered sugar and then you get the nice crunch from the pecans. I’ve been using a recipe from the first cook book ever given to me when I was 21, it’s a Betty Crocker cook book from 1969, I’m 74 now and still enjoy making these cookies (my daughter’s favorite Christmas cookie) every Christmas, and I still have that book.😉❤

Each of these cookies melts in your mouth. They’re so beautiful with their red, green, and white presented together. And, of course, making and enjoying these cookies every year is one of the ways to keep and reminisce about our Aunt Ollie! ❤❤❤

  411. I’ve always loved pumpkin pie with freshly made whip cream. Growing up my mom would make the crust from scratch. She always made extra so she could make pinwheels that we’d have for breakfast in the morning. They were not quite a cookie, not quite a cinnamon roll. She’d roll out the the extra dough, cover it in butter and cinnamon sugar then roll it up and slice them…pinwheels. When they baked they’d caramelize a little bit. She eventually stopped and our Christmas morning ritual when I was an adult were these soft baked scones with fresh cream and jam/jelly. She and I liked trying new and different jams each year. The first Christmas after she passed, I was in the store and saw this container in the bakery section with something that looked like her pinwheels. They weren’t exactly the same but so close that I cried. Now if I could just find her soft scone recipe….

  594. The Secretary at my husband’s work makes Christmas desert called Christmas Crack and it is one of my favorite things to eat at Christmas time. It is so addicting. That’s why they call it Christmas Crack because one just won’t get it.

  596. We have a dessert called Guava Duff, it’s delicious. It’s a dough filled with a guava fruit compote and rolled like a log. It can be baked or boiled. The extra splash is the icing with a bit of rum for the holidays!

  597. Ok here is the thing, I really love Christmas pastries, here in Italy there is a a lot of them, panettoni, pandori, tronchetto, pettole, cartellate, papassini. and so on.. 😅 But I think that the traditional Panettone did do me, it’s not Christmas without it! 😍 😍 😍

  603. Thanks to Trader Joe’s I’ve gotten addicted to Lebkuchen and Pfeffernusse – two types of German spice cookies. The Pfeffernusse haven’t shown up in TJ’s for the last two years, but I just found them elsewhere and was so excited.

  605. I LOVE all cookies! But if I had to choose it would be the cut outs. My MIL has the best recipe. It has lemon flavor ( I normally don’t like lemon) and so delicious! I roll them kinda thick. I like them soft not hard. ( Kinda strange, I know. Lol) I also love lots of frosting! I put cream of tartar in my icing & it makes it kinda shiny. Thank you for the chance. Merry Christmas

  609. So mine is not necessarily a cookie or dessert but my favorite seasonal “treat” is the peppermint mochas and peppermint hot chocolate. Hot, cold, blended I love them all and they make me feel happy and festive.

    Reply

  642. I’ll echo many here and say that my favorites cookies are 1) the small round cookie with the Hershey’s Kiss in the middle and 2) chocolate chip cookies!! Cheesecake, the heavy, New York-style cheesecake (like at the Cheesecake Factory) is always top of my list for desserts!!!

  644. Apple pie, it’s my mom’s recipe and now my sons help me make it, including the pie crust. Empire apples make the best apple pie!

  688. Omg I want this gift set (such a cute tin!). Not sure if it counts, but I love a good chocolate caramel biscotti. Can’t have just one!

    Reply

  691. That’s a hard choice. I always do the 12 cookies of Christmas because I can’t choose! If I had to narrow it down to three I’d say chocolate chip (classic) seven layer rainbow cookies (delightful!) and rugelach (yummm!). Don’t make me choose between my babies. It’s just too hard.

    Reply

  692. My favorite dessert, and the one that has become my signature Christmas dessert is my Mama’s Red Velvet Cake. I just made one this past weekend for my sister to take to her office Christmas party. By the end of the evening I had orders for definitely two, possibly three requested by her co-workers and then I have two to make for my immediate family. Red Velvet Cake for the win!

  693. Sugar cookies, not just any sugar cookies though, my grandmothers recipe of paper thin crispy sugar cookies! In Christmas shapes of course! They take me back to my childhood!

    Reply

  697. I come from a family of cooks, no bakers. But I started baking cookies about 15 years ago. I make plates to hand out to our family, and that’s a lot of plates. And for thanksgiving, I make a banana split cheese cake. It is amazing! So, that is my favorite thing about holiday dessert.

  698. I found a great shortbread recipe that incorporates tiny pieces of glacee cherries. My husband love brazil nut rolls. Mucky to make, but Oh, so good.!

  706. Not a “traditional” holiday cookie but my family makes “everything but the kitchen sink” cookies to help clear out the pantry for the new year….so so so good!

  718. I love my husbands fudge and peanut brittle. And I make some yummy crock pot candy! Thank you for the chance!

  732. My favorite Christmas cookie is peanut butter blossoms. We bake all kinds of cookies for Christmas but those are always the first to go. My whole family loves them. When my kids were little they only wanted to leave those out for Santa!

  733. Nanaimo bars, every time – you can get them throughout the year, but it’s just not the same unless they’re tinted green for Christmas!

  738. Peanut butter blossoms! I am a sucker for peanut butter and chocolate and my son and I make these together: it’s one of my favorite holiday traditions.

  739. Ugh, you hit me in my weakest spot! I abso love my hubby’s great gmas recipe (handed down to all who ask for it within the family) of these soft double decker xmas cookies, tri-colored cookies and the gingerbread man cookies because we’ll read the story and take a bite whenever we’re not called to read aloud. Whoever finishes before the story ends can’t have another cookie for an hour.

    Reply

  740. My favorite dessert for Christmas is apple cake. An elderly neighbor who has passed since gave me the recipe about 30 years ago. It was hand written by her in the 1940’s and easy as anything for someone who is not a baker

    Reply

  742. That is an impossible question for me to answer. My family has our own cookbook of family cookie recipes. My mom would start weeks before Christmas making cookies and then freezing them before preparing trays for friends and family. I can even tell you which ones taste better frozen and which ones don’t try till they defrost.

    Reply

  747. Not necessarily a holiday treat but a favorite is monkey bread. We always made it Christmas morning, before presents or anything else.

    Reply

  748. Christmas is not Christmas without a Trifle. (Here in South Africa we have a summer Christmas and it is usually extremely hot, so anything cold is a must)
    Also my kids love making gingerbread houses for Christmas.

  761. We don’t have Christmas cookies but every year my mum would make a Scottish trifle for dessert on Christmas day which I’ve continued with my own family 🤤. I’m not going to get any this year because I was diagnosed with coeliacs disease and haven’t been able to find a gluten free sponge to make it with 😭 so we’re have meringue nests with strawberries and ice cream instead.

  791. Raspberry linzer tart cookies – made with almond flour or real ground almonds in the dough. Not the pretenders you get in the supermarket!

  800. We have about 6 or 7 varieties of Christmas cookies that we make each year that we’ve made since I was a little girl- my favorites are called Mexican Swizzle Sticks – they’re a chocolate cookie with a hint of cinnamon, covered with a chocolate glaze and rainbow nonpareils. My old cookie press broke and the new one doesn’t have the same star shape – so now I make large snowflakes and we have to come up with a new name.

  802. I have a serious sweet tooth! My favorite is cutout sugar cookies also! I actually finished decorating some Whoville houses about an hour ago!

  806. Well I love some goodie’s, but this time of year I will have to say, homemade cookies: soft rich peanut butter, oatmeal or sugar cookies with icing or of course a great homemade double crust pie 🥧
    Okay now that I’m thinking about all of these goodies, my honeycrisp apple 🍎 just isn’t as yummy as it was 5 minutes ago 😂

  811. My favorite dessert is actually two that are intrinsically intertwined: Spanish Turrón (hard candied almond) a nod to my Spanish parents and Coquito (Caribbean Eggnog made with Rum) which is a drink and a dessert. There is no Christmas without those two!!!

  814. Fudge (specifically peanut butter, chocolate/peanut butter, and chocolate/mint) and hot chocolate (this year I’m ADDICTED to peppermint hot chocolate).

    Reply

  816. Cutout cookies are also my favorite – not just for the taste, but also because of the memories they evoke. A lifetime of mixing, rolling, cutting, and of course decorating – makes for a lifetime of memories!

  818. I love those chocolate no bake cookies! And my favorite desert is cherry cheesecake! My aunt makes me one every Christmas!

Game of Gods

GODSLAYER

Spark is light.
Spark is power.
Spark is deadly.

 

Tyse never asked to play the Game of Gods, but Delta demands loyalty.

With Clara at his side, Tyse is thrust into a brutal world of augments—humans forged to serve and destroy. Each step forward pushes them closer to becoming something more—a force Clara can feel but doesn’t fully understand. A future that terrifies her as much as it draws her in.

Day by day, the man Clara pledged her loyalty to becomes more and more a stranger. But in the Game of Gods, survival demands sacrifice.

Clara has already done that once—she’s certain she can do it again.

Jasina and Finn left Tau City in ruins, vowing to end the Extractions by destroying every god’s tower. But the train line hides dark truths. Forgotten people cling to survival. Towers rise from the ruins of erased cities. And deep in the shadows, a godlike AI watches, weaving its own agenda.

Jasina has always been the strong one, the leader. But the train line holds secrets that cut deeper than she’s prepared for. Truths about spark. About the gods. About herself.

And Finn—the man burdened by his failures—is rising to find his strength.

But can Jasina ever fully trust him?

Godslayer is an epic, spicy, and angst-filled Romantasy that begs the question … how well do you really know your God? And how much are you willing to sacrifice to save him?
