Cathy Lamb's Blog

I went to Barnes and Nobles with Darling Laughing Son to buy him books.

I didn’t realize I was going to be terrorized.

This book should go in the ‘horror’ section.

Happy reading!

Merry Christmas in September! Looking for a Christmas book? I have three short, funny romances in one book titled: WANTED: Christmas Miracles. These elf-approved love stories will help keep you happy and calm during the (hectic, in-laws visiting, exhausting) Christmas holidays.

You can pre-order the E-book now. Release date is October 30th – paperback book can be bought then.

Mrs. Claus wrote these short summaries while drinking hot buttered rum and watching a reality TV show:

Christmas in Montana

Laurel Kelly has been the manager for the hard rock band, Hellfire, for ten years. She’s travelled around the world and listened to eardrum-splitting concerts and head banging rehearsals. Her nerves are shot, her exhaustion complete. Unfortunately, after heading home to Montana to find a little peace with her eccentric mother and aunt, she finds that their frilly apron business is struggling, and they’ve sold the family home to Laurel’s ex-boyfriend, Josh. Josh was Laurel’s soulmate. She had never gotten over him and had never told him the truth about why she’d left him years ago. Laurel will need help from Mrs. Claus to sort this mess out.

Suzanna’s Stockings

Just in time for Christmas, Suzanna Everts is in a coma in the hospital. Lucky for her, with a little holiday magic from her friend, Magdalena Hernandez, she’s able to leave her body and explore her small Oregon beach town. One teeny, tiny problem is that Suzanna is invisible, and no one can see or hear her. Of course, being invisible has its plusses. Suzanna gets a close up look at her fiancé, watches an acquaintance drive her car straight through the front windows of a furniture shop she owns with her husband, discovers her sister’s secret and, finally, falls in love with the right guy, just in time to light up the Christmas tree.

A Very Merry Christmas

Meredith Ghirlandaio has too much going on this Christmas season. She’s running a Bed and Breakfast in an old brick home in snowy Telena, Montana, and her sister’s rebellious children have come to live with her because their mother has run off, her inner child “crying for freedom.” In addition, Meredith was (unwillingly) elected to chair the Telena Christmas Concert, complete with the “Wise Women’s Christmas Skit,” about hot flashes and push-up bras, and the “Old Timers Still Kickin’ It Band.” But the person who is causing her the most angst is Logan Taylor. She must resist that cowboy-hat wearing giant. If she doesn’t, she’ll have to tell him her secret. She can’t do that. Especially not at Christmas.

Many years ago, in the North Pole, amidst the leaping reindeer and the busy elves, these stories were previously published in “Our First Christmas,” “Holiday Magic,” and “Comfort and Joy.”

Here’s what it’s about…

Two happy-ending love stories, written for women who need wine, a bubble bath, chocolates, and laughter.

The Apple Orchard

Allie Pelletier was fired from her executive position at a fancy clothing chain after her boss, a difficult and deranged woman, threw her Manolo Blahnik shoes at her head. Allie was relieved as her seventy-hour work weeks were exhausting. She caught the shoes and headed out. She sold her condo in a flash and moved to the old farmhouse and apple orchard that her estranged late father left her, along with a menagerie of funny pets. When Spunky Joe the horse accidentally kicks her, Allie lands in the emergency room. When Dr. Jace Rios, the love of her life she pushed away years ago, walks in, she ingloriously faints at his feet. And there we begin. Two people must overcome a painful history and buried secrets to be together again. With a little apple pie, it just might work.

June’s Lace

June MacKenzie is a wedding dress designer living in a charming blue cottage on a cliff above the Oregon Coast. Her dresses are eccentric and daring – a black leather and white lace dress for a motorcycle enthusiast, a dress filled with tiny white lights for a bride who loves fireflies. June is positive she will never design her own wedding dress because she’s going through a mind-numbing divorce. Her soon to be ex-husband is a controlling vermin-man who has decided he wants part of her business. She would rather be hit by lightning. But when June is knocked over by a sneaker wave and rescued by a sincere and steamy-hot country music songwriter, she knows she’s been knocked over by more than just water. Alas, she can’t “do” love again, even though Reece likes to dance with her on the sand…

* Eons ago, almost in the time of castles, knights, and yore, June’s Lace was previously printed in Beach Season and The Apple Orchard was previously printed in You’re Still the One.

This is the expanded version of a facebook post I wrote recently.

It’s titled, “Innocent Husband Does Not Meow at Deer,” and you can read it on Substack. I wrote a longer article because I didn’t feel like working on my book. I was procrastinating. I am good at procrastinating.

If you would like to sign up for my Substack newsletter, here’s the link.

I try to write regularly but that doesn’t work at all because of general laziness, daydreaming time, writing books, and hanging out with Innocent Husband and The Cats while begging Rebel Dancing Daughter, Adventurous Singing Daughter, and Darling Laughing Son to come and visit us again.

I do try to write with a little humor. Laughing is good for us blah blah blah.

Wishing you a happy day.

Since I live in the middle of suburbia / city, it makes sense that I have a mini herd of deer in my fenced backyard obstinately eating my impatiens. I also have a visiting skunk named Chameleon and a gang of coyotes that howl at night as if they own the place. I am waiting to see if a mountain lion streaks past my petunias so he can have deer for dinner.

The flower-eating crime was committed in broad daylight, right after Innocent Husband mowed the lawn. The deer were not afraid of Innocent Husband and the cats did nothing but laze and roll about. Rumor has it they didn’t even meow in protest.

To clarify: The cats didn’t meow at the deer. Innocent Husband didn’t meow at the deer, either, which would have been a sight to be seen. Innocent Husband doesn’t meow unless he is talking to the cats. It is an odd, frightening-sounding meow when it happens, like a violin screeching, or perhaps a cavewoman shouting, but the cats take it in stride and know that Innocent Husband is simply trying to be friendly.

I’m writing my latest book outside tomorrow so I can keep an eye on my impatiens and encourage the cats to protect the property in a more effective manner.

20 years ago I almost gave up on writing books.

There had been too many rejections from agents and editors.

Not for weeks or months.

For YEARS.

Becoming a published writer seemed absolutely hopeless. Eventually I thought there was a greater chance that I would turn into a tiny fairy with sparkling wings.
