My
sister, Gwen Donaldson, and I wrote these two holiday/comedy/romance
novels together. They are about women who try dating sites and the
strange, wonderful, and unexpected men they meet. We had fun doing this,
joking that they are loosely based on Gwen's love life: she does the
research while I do the writing. Most of the stories, though, are made
up. I don't think anyone has had that many dating disasters. At least, I
hope not.
Here are the blurbs from the back of each book.
The Twelve Dates of Christmas
Stacy Martin, who has been married three
times and had many relationships, doesn’t want a man in her life right
now but her friends have other ideas. As a forty-ninth birthday present
they pay for her to join three dating sites on the Internet. She just
has to fill out the forms and pick the men she wants to meet.
The
only stipulation is that she must find a man by Christmas Eve so that
the two of them can join Kate, one of her friends, and her boyfriend in
Hawaii for New Year’s Eve. “All you have to do is pick twelve men to
date in December,” Kate said. “After the first date you can decide if
you want to see each again. In the end you should be able to choose one
for our Hawaii trip.”
Stacy
has a full life with owning a flight attendant school, owning a rental
condo, and owning a cat. Will she choose a man from a dating site, the
man who has accused her female renters of being prostitutes, or the
stranger she meets as he is leaving the rental condo building?
Single Bells
Simone Bell-Watson owns a literary agency in Vancouver, B.C. It is just before Christmas and she has discovered her husband is cheating on her. This sends her into a frenzy of starting a divorce, changing her name, selling their condo, and moving in with her mother. She also has to contend with her sister trying to set her up on dating sites to get her back in the dating scene.
Serena Bell owns a popular pub in Richmond, B.C. After many years of dating she is still hopeful of finding the ideal man or at least a man who doesn’t try to change her or who doesn’t point out her faults. She has a profile on many dating sites and has her own rules about when to take texting with a man to the next level of actually going on a date with him.
Their mother, Patricia Reed-Bell is a widow who writes historical romances.
Join the sisters and their mother in this holiday romantic comedy as Simone deals with her new life, Serena dates a number of men, and Patricia flirts and freely talks about sex.
