This year I thought it would be fun to share another of my family's holiday recipes.

 

My husband has been making these cheesecake/cupcake desserts since he was a teenager.  I wouldn't say it's the only reason I married him, but it helped sway my decision. . .

 

I love the holiday season because, even in the crazy rush, it's about gathering with family and friends and remembering to be grateful.

 

Thank you for joining me on my publishing journey. So many of you send personal notes in response to my newsletters. I want you to know I read them all. I answer the ones that require a response. If I tried to answer them all I'd never finish a book, but they've brought so many smiles to my face over the years. Thank you.

 

If you have a holiday recipe you'd like to share with my family, I'd love to try it. If you do send one, you're agreeing that it's okay for me to share it online, with my friends, or possibly put it in a book with no expectation of compensation. So please, no secret family recipes! I'm a sharer, what can I say. . .lol

 

I've met a great many of my readers at events and when I do location meets. Thank you for being so warm and genuine that I look forward to doing many more.

 

If you're looking for a way to connect with me on a personal level, join my Ruthie's Roadies FB Group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ruthiesroadies/  So many readers have become friends through that group. When I travel to events, those are the people I invite to meet up with me for a drink or a meal. It's a place where I share advanced arcs, ask for cover advice, talk about life and stories. Very laid back. We have games, but people join in on the ones they want to and don't on any they're not interested in.

 

Safe travels for those who are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend.

 

Let the holiday craziness begin! lol
