Christmas has always been my
favorite holiday, so “Christmas in July” is a trend I can readily embrace! Today’s
featured author makes fun little critters that she gives away (and sells), but
her string angels make wonderful Christmas gifts, as well as the perfect
Christmas-themed swag! Instructions for making these cute angels can be found

I asked Mysti to share some of the ornaments she’s made, and
she readily complied:

Currently, Mysti is celebrating the release of her new
western historical romance, A Time for
Everything, released by Eskape Press.

Here’s the blurb:
After losing her
husband and only child to the ravages of the Civil War, twenty-five-year-old
Portia McAllister is drowning in grief. When she sees an ad for a live-in tutor
in another town, she leaves everything behind in hopes of making a fresh start.
But as a Confederate widow in a Union household, she is met with resentment
from her new charge and her employer, war veteran Beau Stanford.
Despite their
differences, she and Beau find common ground and the stirrings of a second
chance at love—until his late wife’s cousin, Lydia, arrives with her sights set
on him. Burdened with a farm on the brink of bankruptcy, Beau is tempted by
Lydia’s hefty dowry, though Portia has captured his heart.
In another time and
another place, his choice would be easy. But love seems impossible amid the
simmering chaos of Reconstruction that could boil over at any moment into an
all-out battle for survival. Will Beau and Portia find their way into each
other’s arms, or will they be swept away by raging forces beyond their control?
