I hoped at the time it would become a Carina Press tradition, and I’m pleased that we were able to do this again in 2011. This year, I invited four amazing authors to participate in the contemporary holiday collection. Between them, Jaci Burton, HelenKay Dimon, Alison Kent and Shannon Stacey have decades of writing experience and have published books their fans have adored. I knew these four authors would bring together holiday stories that would capture our hearts and take us away from the holiday craziness for a few hours. And did they ever! I’m thrilled and proud to share the heart-wrenching and wonderful holiday stories of the Holiday Kisses collection with you.
