“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”

THE GARLAND BALL
AVAILABLE NOW!
“Funny and compelling…an absolute delight. Author Robin Maderich knocks it out of the park…” Pikasho Deka for Readers Favorite
The Garland Ball is coming, and Prince Charming is nowhere to be found. Cinderella couldn’t care less.
In this light-hearted holiday tale set in the small, fictional town of Connor Falls, Pennsylvania, Cindy Michaels finds herself unexpectedly in charge of resurrecting the defunct Garland Ball. Add to that the stress of running her own business, Cinderella Silks, and the fact the committee has decided no one should attend the ball without a date of some sort, Cindy’s usual joy over her favorite time of year is waning. Sure, she understands not going solo brings in more money for the charity the ball benefits, but for some reason her best friend insists Cindy’s plan to buy a second ticket doesn’t send out a proper message. In their efforts to be helpful, friends and family set her up with dubious results, giving her just cause to consider taking her cat in his own kitty tux.
Does a Prince exist for this independent Cinderella? The Garland Ball is available now.
HURRY HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
“…sweet, romantic, exciting, wonderful…” Four Stars – JessiAnn, reviewer OnLineBookClub.org
In a nod to Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Hurry Home for Christmas is a tale of redemption in the holiday season.
Eve Noel Nolan has spent longer than she can remember giving the Christmas Spirit the cold shoulder. For this reason, she avoids returning to her smalltown home of Connor Falls during the holidays. This year, however, she is unable to fashion a good reason to stay away.
Between her gregarious family, the odd dream or two, and the appearance of man with the improbable name of Jacob Marley, her life is headed for a big change.
This heartwarming story is the first in the Connor Falls Christmas Romance series.

It seems Connor Falls may be able to offer her that very thing—until she meets Rory Hollis, a carpenter with a chip on his shoulder and a sadness in his soul that has turned him away from everything he loves. Forced by circumstance to work side by side with him, Nikki discovers there is more to Rory Hollis than he lets others see. However, helping the man find his way back into the world where family and friends—and now Nikki Sharp—are waiting, may take a Christmas miracle.
