Swiss Colony Holiday Giveaway! by Tory Richards
Another year gone by. Another Christmas and New Year’s upon us. And we’ve all grown a little older. My birthday was on the 4th of this month. It’s just a number. My body might be fifty-seven but in my mind I’m still twenty. You’re as old as you feel. And though I have a degenerative disc disease and feel pain every day, I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m alive, I have my family, and my writing. No matter how bad things might seem, I believe it can always be worse.
This year was a good year for me, book wise. Starting with The Mercenary Way in February, Hot Spot and Passionate Encounters in August and Up in Flames in September, all came out. Up in Flames is my first self-published book at Amazon. I decided to jump on board with other authors who are going that way. But it hasn’t stopped me from still seeking publishers interested in my work. Next year already looks promising with Instant Attraction and Yield to Me both coming out in March. And I have another self-published book, A Perfect Fit, coming out sometime.
Here are a couple blurbs for this years releases.
Hot Spot – Family reunions are best avoided, especially if you’re the ex. Sammy was just going to say hi to a few people and leave early. When her ex-brother-in-law, John shows up looking successful and sexy, passion burns hot and anything goes, except love . . . Or is she wrong?
Liquid Silver Books
Up in Flames – Rachel Masters has had a crush on her sexy boss for three years. As far as she knows the millionaire architect is oblivious to her, walking past her desk every morning with barely a nod in her direction. But when the power goes out and they’re trapped in an elevator, the truth comes out in one steamy episode designed to take Rachel’s mind off being claustrophobic.
James White doesn’t have a crush on his receptionist. He wants her, it’s as simple as that. He senses there’s a real beauty hidden beneath the granny glasses and professional suits. And he plans to find out how hot she is as soon as the chance presents itself.

Congrats on your venture into self publishing! I have Mercenary Way in my huge TBR pile and need to push it up. I know what you mean about the mindset is young but the body isn’t.

Hi Tory, Happy belated birthday. You’re right in that we are only as old as we feel. Mentally anyway. lol There are days I feel a hundred. I too have degenerative Disc disease.
I’m looking forward to reading your books. Wishing you much success in self publishing. Happy Holidays.

I feel your pain, Carol. I’ve suffered with the disease for 20 years, and managed to work through it. Only the last couple of years has it got the best of me. Thanks for the belated birthday wishes, and good luck!
