It's Thanksgiving week here in the US, and I'm gearing up for all of the turkey and pie. (I actually prefer ham and pie, but I digress ...)
This year, everyone is coming to us for the first time in forever. With the boys being so old and their schedules so crazy, we decided to stay home and invite whoever wanted to come to enjoy the meal and afternoon with us.
Guess I'll be cooking! 🧑🍳
My menu includes turkey (Mr. Locke and LL#3 are smoking a turkey for the first time—wish us luck! Ha!), ham, mashed potatoes, dressing, noodles, corn, green beans, cauliflower and broccoli salad, apple salad, and lots of desserts! We'll also do a cheeseball and cheese and fruit as snacks beforehand. Sounds so yum!
Last year at this time, I wrote a short story titled Crackle for an anthology. It went away in January and I've gotten so many requests for this since. While I was looking for it in my files, I found a few other holiday-inspired short stories and bonus scenes that I've penned over the years. I thought it would be fun (and efficient!) to put them all together in a (free!) holiday bundle for my sweet readers.
You. You're my sweet readers. And I made this just for you.
Note: I made the cover for this. It's awful, I know. But it's not going for sale anywhere and will only live on your device. So, I thought I'd do it on my own, and you can smile and remember that we're all only human. *winks*
This link is just for you. I'll share another for the non-Locke List subscribers, so please don't toss this one to your pals. They can grab it from my website in the coming days. (You get it early, you special little ducklings!)

When you see my amazing cover ... TRY NOT TO LAUGH. 🤭 I made it out of love.
(Don't worry. I won't quit my day job.)
Read on for information about my next book, and a new audio boxset I'm doing with three awesome authors!
Have a great Thanksgiving to my US friends, and a great week to all!
Love, Addy
What's next for me? I'm so glad you asked. *winks*
I have a small-town, neighbors-to-lovers, grumpy hero / sunshine single mother romance coming on December 17th!
You guys—this one is so cute! Some emotions might (read: will) make you tear up. There are lots of funny moments. There's a bit of spice.
And ... *drumroll, please* ... my publisher is giving away 100 ebooks for Between Now and Forever!
This was set-up by Montlake (the publisher) and Goodreads. I had nothing to do with it. So, when I tell you that it's open only to US entries, please don't be upset with me. I'd open it to the world but no one cares what I think. :/
I hope you'll check this one out because it's just ... it's joy. It's such a feel-good story and who doesn't need one of those right now?
If you're more of a pre-order book girlie (or boy), you can preorder it here as an ebook, paperback, and audiobook!
Don't miss this!
I teamed up with the amazing Kandi Steiner, Brittainy Cherry, and Melanie Harlow to create a box set of audiobooks.
That's 4 audiobooks for 1 credit. (I'lll give you a second to pick yourself up from the floor.)
It's available now and will be for a limited time—so don't delay!
Thanks Addy!!! The cover is adorable. Hope you have an amazing day with your family.
