My Fourteenth Anthology Publication – The Greatest Holiday Romance Stories Ever Written by KissMet Quarterly

I’m ready for the holidays because The Greatest Holiday Romance Stories Ever Written by KissMet Quarterly is out in the world. This is a very special anthology because both my young adult meet-cute, “Holly Berry,” and lyrics for my song, “Meet Me At Christmas Time,” are in this book.

You can grab your copy of the anthology through Amazon as an ebook and paperback. I promise you don’t want to miss out on these adorable stories, and the book would be the perfect Christmas present for romance readers, too.

A Peek Into “Holly Berry”

If you know me, you know I’m a thriller, fantasy, and horror girlie. Even my fantasy stories typically have a darker tone. So, writing a fun, fluffy, and festive young adult meet-cute was way out of my comfort zone. I had the absolute best time, though.

Faith loves dogs and art, so being one of the lucky seniors to participate in the annual Jingleville Cookie Decorating Contest for the chance to win a goldendoodle puppy is a wish come true. On the big day, Faith is paired up with Matthew to decorate snowflakes, and she can’t help falling for her perfect partner. If she wins the contest, she might walk away from this golden experience with more than a pup, maybe even a date to Light Up Night.

Curious why the story is called “Holly Berry?” You’ll need to read to find out!

My Acceptance

When I received the email that “Holly Berry” got accepted for the anthology, I did a happy dance. I had a blast writing this story, and I’m so glad Faith and Matthew’s meet-cute found a home.

Also, many of my friends are in this book too, which is special. I love being published alongside such talented writers.

“Meet Me At Christmas Time” Is the Anthology’s Theme Song

After “Holly Berry” got accepted, I started thinking about my song, “Meet Me At Christmas Time,” which I released last year. This song pretty much matches the concept of the anthology.

So, what did I do?

I sent “Meet Me At Christmas Time” to Gail and was like, I wrote this song, and it reminds me of the anthology. I would love for you to listen.

She not only loved it, but wanted to make it the anthology’s theme song.

I couldn’t believe it. When I sent her the song, I was absolutely not expecting for this to happen. Not at all.

Gail had me send her the lyrics, and they’re printed in the beginning of the book. This is hands down the coolest way my songwriting and publishing worlds have collided. “Meet Me At Christmas Time” is a very special song to me, so having the lyrics in this anthology is such a dream come true.

You can listen to “Meet Me At Christmas Time” on all music platforms, including Spotify. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Opening My Copy of The Greatest Holiday Romance Stories Ever Written

This is my fourteenth anthology, and it’s definitely one of the most special, since both my story and lyrics are in the book. I loved opening my copy, and you can watch the video on YouTube. I also put the instrumental for “Meet Me At Christmas Time” in the background, because of course I did.

I got all festive to open the book, too. Candy canes, anyone?

Thank you so much to Gail and Katie for working so hard to bring The Greatest Holiday Romance Stories Ever Written to readers this holiday season. I’m so honored to have my story and lyrics included, and I’ll always hold this anthology close to my tinsel heart.

By the way, “Tinsel Heart” is another one of my Christmas songs. See what I did there?

Also, I kinda, sorta, wanna write more cute Christmas stories now!
