A Cup of Christmas Cheer

10/16/2013

 
Finally, after years of writing, I felt the buzz of excitement - the very heady feeling which made my feet twitch and want to dance - the exuberance that will come only once in my writing career - and it  came with seeing the book cover of A Cup of Christmas Cheer which contains my debut publishing credit, my short story, Riding on a Christmas Wish.

Official Book Description from the Guideposts Books online store:

A Cup of Christmas Cheer
Twinkling lights, the scents of cinnamon and pine, family gatherings, favorite carols from the heart. In the spirit of these cozy Christmas traditions, Guideposts is pleased to present A Cup of Christmas Cheer, a two-book set brimming with heartwarming fiction stories of faith and family set in Christmases past and present.

You are invited to enjoy two uplifting Christmas fiction collections that will flood you with the Christmas spirit and bring a smile to your face.

Affordably priced so you can easily give the set as heartfelt gifts, the messages of hope and faith in these extraordinary works of fiction deliver the truest gifts of the season. They will inspire all who read them as they bring home the joy of God’s presence at Christmastime.

Free Gift Along with this book set, you'll receive a beautiful holiday magnet with a charming quote from Helen Steiner Rice; "Peace on Earth Will Come to Stay, When We Live Christmas Every Day."

Hi, Judy. First off, thank you to your husband for buying Vol 3 and 4. There was such a demand that it went into overprint and thus there are copies still available.

However, that's not the case with Volume 1 and 2 as you've probably discovered. There was a single print run on Vol 1 and 2 and now the only way to buy them individually or as a set are through secondary markets, some of which are selling them at horrendous prices because they are out of print.

My suggestion would be to keep an eye on www.bookfinder.com which shows if and where it is available. Use the broadest term first, like A Cup of Christmas Cheer and if there are too many results, narrow by adding Volume 1 and 2. No need to put author, etc. Bookfinder is not a seller site, but rather a database of all books that are currently on the market.

I wish you all the best in your search and when you find Volume One, I hope you enjoy reading my story, Riding on a Christmas Wish.

Blessings,
Anita.
