I'm not very good with bookish gift ideas. 😆 Other than a shirt with a bookish quote, I personally would love if someone put together a little food sampler that contains items eaten in a book or series.

The two books I hope to read by the end of the year are the book I'm currently reading (The Apothecary Dairies (light novel) Vol 3) and a manga.

Between Santa and Krampus, I would choose Santa. Though I feel Santa has been a little overdone in some media, I'm really turned off by anything Krampus.

No seasons are mentioned in the Dark Reflections Short Story Collection, but I see Dark Betrayal taking place in late summer. As for Lost Souls, it takes place during the fall semester (late summer through autumn).

So, my sales have dropped to zero, this month. I'm not surprised. Particularly about Zon given I stopped all their ads. I can't afford them anymore. I will need to learn how to make my blog and social media posts more effective.

Depends on the book and character. 😁
For my WIPs, Dark Betrayal and Lost Souls:
Jeremiah (naughty)
Charissa (beyond naughty)
Anubis (mostly nice)
Sidika (mostly nice)
Roxana (nice)
Horus (naughty)

My two must-watch holiday movies are We're No Angels (1955) and The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017). I also enjoy A Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) and Christmas in Connecticut (1945).

My family never sticks to specific seasonal meals or recipes. We're always changing things up. For this upcoming holiday, I made Ghorayebah, a cookie similar to shortbread. And my family plans to make molasses ginger cookies.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but . . .

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens was essentially a self-published novel.

Keep writing! Keep publishing!

I don't read holiday novels. Around Halloween/my Birthday, I like to reread Waypoints: My Scottish Journey bc it takes place during that time of year. If you like dog sledding and mysteries, I recommend the Jessie Arnold & Alex Jensen Series by Sue Henry.

There are no holidays in Dark Betrayal. In Lost Souls, which is currently being edited, the university campus celebrates Halloween with a club sponsored event.

Hi, I'm Kelsey Ketch, and I'm a fantasy (typically low or contemporary) author who writes for older teen and younger adult audiences. My latest WIP I'm drafting is Dark Betrayal, a short story stemming from my vampiric dark fantasy, Dark Reflections.
