Christmas Around the World Giveaway Blog Tour
Happy Holidays from my home to yours. I'm very excited to share with you something special for the holidays. I'm fascinated by the traditions we have in the United States with all the different cultures represented here. With that in mind, I hatched the idea to grab a few of my favorite author buddies from various countries to have them share what makes the holidays special to their families.
All last week we featured one blog post a day with an accompanying video from each author sharing their Christmas traditions and gave you a peek inside their books and what one of the characters would experience in their time and place.
Today is my day to share my Christmas traditions based on my Grandmother’s love of the holiday and overabundance of gifts and family fun in a split family. Also, I will paint a picture of what life was like in England in 1752, the year featured in my book, Stealing Time, which was the year they skipped 11 days to jive with Europe’s Gregorian calendar. Check out my video to learn more.

More about my "breathtakingly original" time travel novel set in a hurricane.
Stealing Time: Book 1 - A Time Travel, Historical Fiction Adventure
Stealing Time: Book 1 - A Time Travel, Historical Fiction Adventure
A
devastating hurricane. A time travel betrayal. Will Ronnie survive the witch
hunt or forever be lost in time?
Stealing Time
is the first book in the best-selling "Breathtakingly original" time
travel series that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
As Hurricane
Charley churns a path of destruction towards Orlando, Florida, Ronnie Andrews
scrambles to prepare for the storm and seeks shelter at her boyfriend’s weather
lab. What she finds there is more terrifying than Mother Nature's destruction.
During the
peak of the hurricane, Ronnie is hurtled back in time to eighteenth-century
London where she is caught in a web of superstition, deception, and lies in a
life and death struggle to return to her own time.
Her best
friend Steph is thrust into the middle of the hurricane where it quickly turns
into a living nightmare as she is faced with losing everything.
Stealing Time
is the first book in the “breathtakingly original” Stealing Time Series of
time-travel wrapped in a hurricane. If you like strong-willed modern women and
gripping stories that transport you back in time, then you’ll love KJ Water's
Books.
