Do you read a Christmas Novel every year?

"The Christmas Ornament" is book three in a trilogy. This Christmas, I am putting out a stand-alone novel, available now! Follow me on Facebook - @BarbaraAvonAuthor, for more updates on "The Christmas Store". Here's your sneak peek:

When Daniel Walker's wife died in a freak accident, they were married only a year. Since then, he has never wanted to find love again. For him, there was only one love and now she is gone. His wife had loved Christmas and so, to honour her memory, he opened "The Christmas Store". There's a reason that he's never ventured to the basement of his store and the door remains locked to this day. Bianca Nastasi just lost the only family she had left - a great Aunt who left everything to Bianca. When her Aunt's lawyer presented Bianca with a key, she thought nothing of the faded tag that read, "Joe's Grocery and Deli". Then she lost her job in the big city. Disgruntled and jaded, Bianca chose to take a break from life and set out to unlock the mystery behind that key. It leads her to Daniel and one locked door. What is behind that door that could change everything for them both? Will Daniel's past prevent him from taking a chance at love again? Is Bianca's fate sealed from what she seeks to find? Set in Ottawa in the year 1990, "The Christmas Store" embodies everything that has become synonymous with Christmas: hope, dreams, desires and the type of miracle that comes but once a year.

SPEED BUMP - FREE!!

I was shy, introverted, scared.

I suffered through school as the "weird" kid.

I had a dream and I'm realizing that dream now. What I want next, more than anything, is for more people to "read" me.

That "ugly duckling" grew up to write from her heart. No rules. No fear.

I'm "getting the word out" - FOR FREE!

If you don't have an e-reader and would like a free PDF to read on your phone, tablet or PC, send me a message!

SPEED BUMP - FREE!!

Fall is in the air. (Well, today at least!)

Cozy up with my free novella which marries a sprinkling of Dickens with a sort of demented "Planes, Trains and Automobiles".

Enjoy and don't forget to leave your Goodreads review! Speed Bump - A Christmas Tale by Barbara Avon

The Christmas Miracle!

This is the story of Peter Travis. A character I created back in 2002. I didn't publish the first book, “My Love is Deep” until 2015. in that year, I wrote books two and three. This year, I wanted to revisit him, and you will hold between your hands, his final chapter. I thank the readers for following me on this incredible journey. Whether you have read the previous books in this series or not, I hope you will enjoy a little liaison with Peter, and that you will take away the message of love attached to this book and carry it with you all year long.

Love Deep, Always.

Do you read a Holiday book every year?

Pick up "The Christmas Miracle". Although it is primarily a love story, this one has thriller elements! ...and our beloved protagonist, Peter Travis.

If you haven't read the previous books in the series, you don't need to! I wrote it to read as a stand alone.

So once the shopping is done and night falls, grab a cozy blanket and your favourite drink and get lost in Peter's world.

Please remember to review! :))
