I have always wanted to be a part of role playing party, especially a murder mystery. So my turn of the century party would be just that. Just before midnight, the murderer would be revealed. It would even better if all the participants were friends and family.
Before my Grandparents passed away, I always looked forward to going to their house on Christmas Eve. My grandmother, who must have spent days baking, would let us fill a tin with our favorite treats. Then we would exchange gifts and play games. Those were wonderful times, and I'm fortunate to have had my grandparents in my life for so many years.
The Cullen's from Twilight, and the DeClermont's from A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I have read the latter book more times than I can count.
I had two black labs named Mackie and Sammie (sisters) for 14 years. I also had three cats who lived about 20 years each. At the moment, I don't have a fur baby, but I am planning to adopt another dog or two.
Dragons and shifters are always great reads. I am looking forward to adding your books to my collection. Sounds like your research trip was amazing. Thanks writing the books, and thanks for the chance to win.
