Pounce on This Purr-fect Chance to Win a Limited Edition Cougar Plushie
Dear Reader,
If you’ve read One Big Happy Family already, then you know all about the hilarious cougar scene in the story. If you haven’t read it yet, well, I can pretty much promise it’s not what you think.
As an homage to my latest Christmas book, which Fresh Fiction calls “an absolutely joyous look at a snowballing holiday get-together,” my team has created this limited-edition cougar plushie, wearing a One Big Happy Family Tshirt. I gave away five as part of my 12 Days of Giveaways earlier this month, and a handful will be going to five random readers who have sent in a picture of themselves holding the book at their local Meijer stores. Now I’m going to choose 20 more lucky readers to receive one—this is your chance to win! Enter now on the Contest page at SusanMallery.com. The Contest page is under the Members menu. After you sign in with your email address, you’ll see the entry form.

Please don’t come home for Christmas. . .
Julie Parker’s kids are her greatest gift. Still, she’s not exactly heartbroken when they ask to skip a big Christmas. Her son Nick is taking a belated honeymoon with his bride Blair while her daughter Dana will purge every reminder of the guy who dumped her. Again. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man she’s secretly dating.
But her plans go from cozy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julie’s ex. She can’t refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realize she’s been hiding him for months.
As the guest list grows in surprising ways, from Blair’s estranged mom to Heath’s precocious children, Julie’s secret is one of many to be unwrapped. Over this delightfully complicated and very funny Christmas, she’ll discover that more really is merrier, and that a big, happy family can become bigger and happier, if they let go of old hurts and open their hearts to love.

BOOK LIST FEATURE
Did you know that Members at SusanMallery.com have access to something very, very cool? As far as I know, no other author has a feature like my Book List Feature. What is the Book List Feature? The Book List Feature allows you to mark my books as Read, Unread or Unsure, which will then automatically save your custom Book List. Once you've done that, you'll be able to View/Print your Book List (either for easy access to buy links or to print a shopping list). In addition, we've added a Gift Registry so that you can send a list of your Unread books to people who love you.
To get started, go to https://susanmallery.com/available-now.php. Under the BOOK LIST FEATURE drop-down menu toward the top of the page, select READ INSTRUCTIONS.
Happy reading!
