First and foremost I
would like to say a bit Thank You to K-Lee for hosting this. As soon as I saw
the call go out on Facebook I knew it was something that I would love to take
part in.
I can't believe
there's only two days left until Christmas and only a week and a bit left of
2015. Where has the time gone? This year hasn't been a great one for me writing
wise, but I'm hoping 2016 will be different.
All throughout the
year though, even with the decreases in releases, my readers never left me. I
love you guys and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love
getting emails from readers letting me know they loved one of my books, or
wanting to know when the next book in a series is scheduled to be written. If
it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't be here right now.
When I started on
this journey six years ago now, I was asked a question by my then husband.
How many copies of
your book would you be happy selling?
My answer to that: To
be honest, if I sold a total of a hundred copies I would be over the moon.
Here I am, now six
years later, with twenty-three books written and thousands of copies sold all
because of you. If I could personally thank you all, I would. It might take
some time, but I'd try. Until then, please accept this as my thanks for taking
a chance on me.
I also want to say a
big thank you to my family who from the first supported me in what I chose to
do. Writing isn't something I ever grew up thinking I would do, but life is
funny like that sometimes. Even though I reckon I threw my family a massive
curveball with the genre I chose to love and write, they've never once waivered
in their support. Even though I can't be with them all this holiday season,
they are in my heart and my thoughts, just as you all are.
Stay safe and I'll
see you in 2016
Toni

A Bear’s Bear by Toni Griffin
Matthew Warner's been a Chicago Bears fan as far back as he can remember. What other team was a young bear shifter from the Smokey Mountains supposed to root for? When his college friend gets tickets to the next home game, Matthew jumps at the chance for a holiday. It's his favorite time of year and Nic promises him pumpkin carving and a visit to the world's largest corn maze, what more could he want?
What Matthew doesn’t expect is finding out the defensive tackle for the Bears is his mate. Between fainting at the realization, meeting family, and dealing with the media fallout of his mate's coming out Matthew is in for a hell of a rocky Halloween.

ReplyDeleteI appreciate what writers do. I am not talented enough to write but I sure enjoy your talent.

My father is an author. He used to tell us wonderful bedtime stories and we encouraged him until he started writing. It would be convenient for him to earn enough to live off doing what he loves, but he is happy to help stories running rampant in his brain. To love writing stories and to do it well enough to be successful - you are very fortunate. Thank you for sharing your creations with us.
