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.

"Michael's Choice" Now Available!

Michael's Choice Michael's Choice by Barbara Avon When I wrote “THE GIFT”, part 1 to "Michael's Choice", I never intended to write a sequel. However, writing is also sharing of yourself and my readers were intent to see more of Michael Rossi. I always listen to my readers. A line in this book reads as follows: “What’s the point of art, if it hides?” The same concept applies to writing and giving the reader what the reader wants. In turn, they are gifting me something, and that is, the ability to share of myself and breathe new life into a character that ultimately, has become a part of me. I am forever indebted.

Buy it now on Kobo. https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/mich...

Available soon on all of your favourite online stores!

Thriller...and always, the love.
