Frozen: a Winter Romance Anthology BlogTour

Thanks for coming to the next stop on the blog tour. The holidays are right around the corner and so is all the great music that brings to mind good times with family, romantic evenings in front of the fire, delicious food and too much eggnog, mistletoe and twinkle lights. Just one song can transport you. 

Music is a huge part of my writing process. Every story I write gets its own playlist of songs that have moods and words that inspire me. Today I present to you my playlist for Falling on Ice, my story in Frozen: a Winter Romance Anthology.  I really love this playlist and I hope you do too. It's a great mix of songs that fit Sam and Jake's journey. 


Ice sculptor Sam McLeod, during hard times. She's lost her boyfriend and business partner and she's on the brink of losing her business after a competitor steals all of her clients. But Sam is tough. She is not going down without a fight. Her last chance is to take top prize at the Annual Ice Sculpting National Championship held in her hometown of Rigby, Alaska.

Formerly famous Jake Pane fled the New York art scene and came to Rigby to reinvent himself and his art. He wants back in, and all he has to do is show everyone that he can produce something new and amazing. In the meantime, he's taking the ice sculpting world of Rigby by storm.

When Sam slips and falls off of an icy ladder at Nationals into the arms of Jake Pane, it seems like the last thing she needs. Nothing good could come out of getting romantically involved with her competitor. Or maybe together they can win the greatest prize of all.
 
My story is the final piece of a beautiful anthology. It is preceded by 10 stories written by 10 talented authors. Check them out below, along with links to find the book.

The Ice Hotel Wedding Test

Love Thaws a Frozen Heart

bent on not signing. Procuring a snowmobile, Casey sets out in a blinding snowstorm to find
him. After crashing, she is near death when Noah finds her. Will a few cabin-bound days cause
either of them to change their mind?

Valerie Clarizio grew up in the north woods in a house full of brothers. She can hunt, fish, and survive in the great outdoors with the best of them.

Frozen Moments ('A Waiting For Dusk' story)
Nancy Pennick

delightful story of love and memories.

stranger or finding the person who’s exactly what each other needs.

Frozen With Possibilities
Rhonda Brutt 
A resort on the shores of Lake Superior in the middle of December was not exactly what Tiffany
had in mind for a mid-winter vacation. But when she agreed to accompany her progressive
grandmother on this frozen trip, she discovered that life is filled with possibilities, if you only go
after them.

despairs of attracting her interest. Is there hope for a magical couple who thrive in different
seasons?
