Where Wishes Live by Dora Hiers

“So, why are you here?”

Confusion tightened her forehead. “What do you—”

“Come on, Camille. If you want more out of your relationship, why are you here—” he waved a hand toward the family room “—and not in Italy?”

“Who said I wanted more?”

“You don’t?” Hope cranked its rusty engine and roared to life.

“I’m…I’m not sure.” Pink swallowed her cheeks and moisture hugged her lashes. “He asked me to marry him, but I need time. Time to figure out who I am and what I want.”

She’d had a decade to figure out those things, and yet she’d run home, to him. Wonder tingled in his toes and worked its way north. Thank You, Lord!

Where Wishes Live, a winter wonderland where wishes come to life…

After ten years abroad, renowned chef Camille Tulane is back in the good ole USA. Good? Ha! The only good memories were her family’s annual holiday pilgrimages to Tennessee, and hanging out with the handsome Chase Kirkland. Now, her ambitious Italian boyfriend’s proposal has her running scared. She has one month to prep their vacation house for sale, one month to give Antonio an answer. But she doesn’t need that long. Not when Chase smiles at her like that…

Chase Kirkland regrets letting Camille fly away, but he couldn’t clip her angel wings. She’d never be happy in small town Steepleview, and he couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, especially not since buying Where Wishes Live, the winter resort where they met. When Camille fills in for the pregnant resort chef, suddenly those angel wings look like they might have come home to nest, and Chase vows to bring all her wishes to life.

Where Wishes Live…a story of second chances and renewed faith.

Note: Where Wishes Live is a 65-page inspirational novella, a contemporary Christian romance. Previews are also included for two clean and wholesome romances by Tori Kayson, Dora’s pen name for Sweet Romance that Sizzles.

Excited about Reading…


Or not!

Know the last date I posted a book review? October 13th!

Yikes! How can that be? I love to read!

Lately, though, I’m battling the reading “ho hum’s.” Usually, while hubby watches TV in the evenings, I read. But recently, I’m quite content to veg out in front of the television with him. I can even spout off all the latest sports news. Big Al with the Charlotte Hornets is out with an injury, but they haven’t missed a beat. Have you watched them play? Pure poetry on the court! The Carolina Panthers are smokin’ hot! Jeff Gordon said goodbye to racing at the close of this season, and Tony Stewart retires next year. (Bummer!) Sadly, I can’t recall the names of the characters of the current book I’m reading. Or not reading. 🙂

It’s not for lack of trying. How many books have I picked up since October? But they just seem to fade on my kindle. What’s up with that?

Do you ever feel like you’re bombarded with books?


NetGalley overwhelmed me, with all those wonderful looking books calling my name. But I finally surrendered and stopped requesting books because the pressure to write a review by the release date just added to the stress of reading. Also, I download all the freebies that sound interesting, but that just bloats my kindle. Used to be, I panicked when my TBR stack ran low. Not now. I’m stressing because of too many! 


Sigh…


What’s my problem? I want to read. I just can’t seem to make myself follow through with an actual book.

Maybe, after months and months of editing, I’m just plain burned out on reading. Now that I finally uploaded Roping the Marshalmy second self-pubb’d book, and can move on to finish writing the third, I’m not sure I’ll remember how to actually create. lol. 

Or could it be that since I juggle writing Christian romance and mainstream contemporary romance now I fall between the reading cracks? Seems every mainstream book I pick up, I reach the 30% mark and ram right into a sex scene. 

Remove from device! 


Many Christian books seem too tame, borderline preachy, while contemporary romances ratchet my spice-ometer past acceptable.


Help!! Do you go through reading slumps? How do you get your reading mojo back?

Here’s how I hope to spend my weekend. How about you?
