I am thrilled to announce that my anthology, Eight Kisses, is available in print and as an ebook, wherever you buy books! (If you go to a bricks and mortar store, and they don’t have it, ask them to order it from Ingram!)
What is Eight Kisses all about?
It contains eight — EIGHT — all-new Hanukkah romances. Every one of them has a happy ever after. Every one of them has a unique take on Judaism, holidays, and true love.
My story, “Harmony Lights” is set in Harmony Springs, my (imaginary) small town in the Shenandoah Valley (home to Harmony Christmas, Harmony Hearts, and Harmony Hero. “Lights” is about one woman’s struggle to find the balance between family, work, and, um, special friends.
Want to know about the other stories? Here’s the “back of the book” blurb:
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights, celebrating an ancient miracle with candles, fried foods, and family gatherings. What better time to find true love?

A small-town reunion offers a second chance. An interracial couple rises above initial misunderstandings. Online dating yields unexpected foodie dreams. A Jewish mourner discovers solace at a Catholic feast. A hometown visit heals old wounds. The girl next door is something more. Seasoned lovers reaffirm true love.

I remember when I was a kid, and the excitement of Hanukkah grew during the winter holiday season. Sure, I knew about the Bible story — how the ancient Temple was ransacked by people who wanted to destroy the Jews, and how a single surviving container of holy oil miraculously burned for eight days and nights while new oil was pressed and sanctified.* And I knew about lighting the candles on the menorah — one additional candle each night, always lit by the shamash, the “helper” candle.
But let’s face it. Most of my Hanukkah excitement was centered around chocolate gelt. And — to be totally honest! — presents, one a night for the eight-night celebration.
So, I’m somewhat amused that I’ve spent today as excited as I ever was as a kid. Because today is the cover reveal of Eight Kisses, the anthology of Hanukkah romance stories that I’m editing with Lori Ann Bailey. We started the cover reveal at nine this morning, and every hour a different author presented a jigsaw puzzle piece, part of the cover.
Now, at 5:00, we can finally reveal the entire cover:
