This week may offer Haunted Houses and hurricane cleanup, but SOS Aloha is celebrating Christmas with Kensington! I love this line from Victoria Alexander's bio (at this link),
New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander was an award winning television reporter until she discovered fiction was much more fun than real life. She turned to writing full time and is still shocked it worked out.
She delivers holiday themed fun in WHAT HAPPENS AT CHRISTMAS:
Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for Christmas—an official engagement to a handsome, dashing prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves the lovely widow with a slight problem. The last thing Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille intends to pull off a Christmas deception of massive proportions.
At least until Grayson Elliott shows up. A dozen years ago, he declared his love on the day before her marriage to another man, then vanished from her life. Now he’s back, gate-crashing Camille’ s already chaotic house party, playing havoc with her scheme—and with her heart. Because for Grayson, losing Camille once was bad enough. Losing her twice? Unthinkable. And he’ll find a way to show her they belong together—for this season and every Christmas yet to come…

If I lives someplace with interesting weather (unlike where I currently live), than I think I'd like to do the reporting on the weather. We have a local weather reporter who also does "special event" reporting around the county. I think that would be a fun gig.
ReplyDeleteTV Reporters - They have one heck of a job. I seriously don't think I'd want to be the reporter on the scenes. They have to behave so unflappable and I wouldn't be able to do that.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be in the studio. Who knows maybe the weather would be fun.
I have been drooling over this book ever since I met Victoria at RT in April. Can't wait to read it!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be a week-end reporter about crazy readers!
I'd want to cover entertainment, that way there's no pressure to report real news or be accurate. :D
ReplyDeleteI'd have to do entertainment - nothing serious or that really matters and think of the interesting crazy people lol.
