Last Post of 2009, and One Resolution

I realize I've been a bit lax in my posting this week. True, it's been rather on the busy side for most people, but still you'd think I could find enough time to post a short blog, right? That's what I'm doing right now.

Christmas was wonderful with my family, even though it zoomed by so fast. I think that's the hazard of having so much going on in life. It seems to just fly right by. Here it is New Year's Eve, and the last day of 2009 and I have no idea where this year has gone. But that's okay. It's been a good year, and I'm positive that 2010 will be even better. We'll start it off by hanging out at a family party tonight, then we'll drive over to the mall to see the city fireworks at midnight, and then finish things off with pie and hot chocolate at Village Inn--the only restaurant in town we're positive will still be open. (We know this from experience from the last two years.)

It will be a fun night, and a great way to start off 2010. I'm not listing my resolutions here yet, but if you want to read about my thoughts on the matter, check out my post on LDS Writer's Blogck today. I also blogged about making attainable goals and resolutions on Monday at the Writing Fortress.

By tomorrow, I'll have finished the final-final-final edits on The Sharp Edge of a Knife, and will have them turned in to my publisher for typesetting. Then I'll have a short break (a real break from life which I will post about later) before I get the galleys and send it off to print. Yahoo! Can't wait for this one. When that's all said and done, back to all my other projects. Expect to see a blurb posted here in the next week or two, and possibly some teaser art.

Also, for those who read my post about this and were wondering, I did exchange gifts with my siblings. I made cinnamon roasted almonds (the ingredients for which I already had on hand) and gave each of them a bag. My parents got wooden photo cubes with school pictures of my kids. So, I wasn't the Grinch, I didn't spend a lot, and it didn't end up being that big a deal except that most of the plans for spending family time together fell through. Bummer. I guess there's always next year. But the almonds were a hit, and the photo cubes a favorite gift of my parents.

And now, I'm off to see a movie with my family before we go our separate ways. (Yeah, my oldest two are going to parties. Eeekk!) I hope your New Year's Eve is fantabulous!

Happy 2010.  Let's make it unforgettable.

Resolution #one: Learn how to use TweetDeck so it posts to all my social networking sites.

The Nativity: Breath of Heaven

I won't be posting much this week, but thought I'd share this video clip with my readers. I truly hope that you and your loved ones have a glorious, wonderful, festive holiday season.

Merry Christmas from Nichole!

Not the Grinch (Or Presents Aren't Important--Are They?)

By now, I’m thinking you’re all pretty well sick of hearing about all my signing experiences. And though I’m excited and relieved about the results, I’m kind of getting sick of talking about it. So, I’m going to take a break from that today.

If you’re absolutely dying to hear all the details, email me. I’ll tell you everything I remember. Be warned that my brain has been on absolute overload this month, but it’s December and, well, all things considered, that’s to be expected.

Anyway, sometime around Halloween, my parents—consisting of my mom and stepdad, and my dad and stepmom—decided that this year would be a good one to refocus our attention on the true spirit of Christmas. The economic downfall has been very hard on some of them, and none of us wanted anyone to feel the burden of buying gifts they couldn’t afford.

The plan, originally, was that none of the adults in the family would exchange gifts, and instead of spending lots of money on things, we’d give each other the gift of quality family time. We—their children—were asked to honor that request by not purchasing gifts for them. And my husband and I have been prepared to honor that.

Unfortunately, it appears we were the only ones. Now, granted, as far as I know, none of my siblings have gone all out and spent lots of money on parent gifts, but everyone bought something. Which, I think, defeats the purpose of the original plan. Not that I don’t have an urge to buy gifts for my parents as well, but I really, truly hoped that for the first time in years, Christmas would stop being so much about the presents we give and receive, and more about relationships. Sadly, even our parents have succumbed. Other than a family get-together last week, there has been little or no relationship building time. And when we go to my mom’s house for Christmas dinner, once again, gifts will be exchanged all around.

Whatever happened to presents not mattering? What happened to family time? I’m not complaining, really. I enjoy giving gifts to people I love, people who matter. And even though I didn’t add extra gifts into my budget, and wasn’t able to plan far in advance for a thoughtful gift, I’ll find something inexpensive, yet nice for both sets of parents. And I’m okay with that.

But I’m saddened exponentially by the loss of a valuable lesson for us all. Christmas isn’t about the presents, what we give, get, pay for, make, buy, order and wrap. It’s about a gift given us over 2000 years ago, the birth of our Savior. Remember that Guy?

Everything else is irrelevant. And the best thing we can do to honor that sacrifice is to give of ourselves (not our wallets) to spend time with those we love, and those who need us, and to remember why this holiday even exists. More family time, fewer presents.

Don’t you think? The worst thing we could possibly do is turn Christmas into just another day, and yet, that’s where it’s headed. What it’s becoming more and more as the years pass. I don’t have all the answers, but it seems to me like trying something new, something different, might help us remember why we celebrate in the first place. Not because I don’t want to give gifts to people. I absolutely do. I guess I’m just at a point where I feel it’s more important to teach our children about the important things in life—the things which have nothing to do with presents.

And so, four days before Christmas, I find myself in a great internal tug-of-war. Do I buy gifts for my parents—as all my siblings have, and as my parents have given into—or do I stand my ground, stick with our original plan and look like the Grinch? Not that it matters if people see me in a poor light, just…well, you all know. It’s not easy being green. And I’ve never liked the idea of living in a cave. How best am I to honor the original request, while still going with the family flow?

What would you do?

Book Review: "Haunts Haven" by Joan Sowards

By Nichole Giles

Before I get started on telling you about the book, Rachelle has announced the grand prize winner for the Original Scrapbox EZ View Craftdesk. Click here to see who won, what they won, and the results of the clicks for charity drive. I nominated the Fisher House in San Antonio, so if you agree that they should receive this wonderful prize, go leave a comment about it!


And now for other important matters.

The blurb:

When Callie Wilford inherits a century-old inn in southern Arizona, locals tell her of a ghost who “guards” the inn. But Callie doesn’t believe in ghosts, and she plans to turn the inn into a bed and breakfast. Then things start to happen—strange, spooky things—and she begins to wonder if there is some truth to the ghost stories. If that weren’t bad enough, Callie discovers a mysterious grave in the cellar. As she confronts the inn’s tragic secrets, she also faces her lonely past and learns to embrace her heritage. But it takes a handsome cowboy and a charming rancher to prove that Callie’s long-guarded heart can love again.

This is a sweet story written in a similar style to old-fashioned ghost stories told around a campfire. Haunts Haven differs from your average every-day LDS story in that it includes ghosts, which is something I’m not sure has ever been done in the LDS market. Or, at least, not that I’ve seen.

I got my review copy along with Missing, which I reviewed last week, and was excited to read them both. Even though I’ve had tons of stuff going on, I finished each book quickly. Haunts Haven is a short, quick, read through in one sitting type book, and I enjoyed my time spent with Callie, Lizzie, James and Clay.

Best-selling author, Kerry Blair has this to say:

Haunts Haven grabs your attention from the first page and holds it into the wee hours…Joan Sowards combines the supernatural with mystery, romance, and suspense—and does it amazingly well!

I started reading Haunts Haven for it’s charm, was soon hooked on the love story, and found myself perched on the edge of my seat as the suspense kept me delightfully up past midnight.

A love story you will never forget in a tale of suspense you will want to read again and again!

Until next time, write on!

**Yes, I got a free copy of this book, sent directly from the publisher. No, it is not signed by the author, and yes, I may someday pass it on to someone else, but I won't be selling it as has been insinuated by the creation of this idiotic law. As it happens, I love books and have a bad habit of keeping the ones I love on my shelves until I've memorized them word for word, at which point I will give them to the next book lover who will be next to memorize it. I ask you, is that a crime? I didn't think so!

Things I've learned today and Big Winner of the Original Scrapbox EZ View Desktop

I spent the morning and part of the afternoon signing books at Barnes and Noble in the Gateway mall.  There are two things I learned.

First, every bookstore is different. They're all under different management, and since each person has a different view of authors and the books they've written, each manager prepares very differently for a signing. On Wednesday we showed up where they had a table waiting with a nice cloth, balloons, and lots of signage. We'd been placed in a position near the customer service desk and had lots of room.And our books were all spread out nicely on the table, just waiting for us to sign them.

Today, we showed up, the manager cleared off a display table and carried it right next to the doors and handed us a stack of books. He was a totally nice guy, and was sure to check on us and make sure we had what we needed. And how he did it wasn't wrong by any means. Just different.

So...lesson number one, always come prepared with your own table cloth, signage, and ideas.

Second, you'll get a different reaction to your book depending on the location of the store--especially when your book has a religious theme.We got lots of dirty looks today, but also met some interesting and wonderful people.

Lesson number two, it's always a good idea to have a giveaway or two, and if you can do more, try to draw for them every half hour or so in order to keep people around. The truth is, whenever there's a crowd, people come over to see what's going on, and sometimes those people end up buying.

There's more, but I'm pretty well aware that you're all dying to know who won the EZ View Desktop. Drawing now...

And the winner is...





Are you mad yet?





Okay fine, I'll really draw.





BABA!  Congratulations on winning the desktop.  Email me at writenichole at gmail dot com and get me your full name, mailing address and phone number as well as your color preference.

Thanks for playing, kids. And stay tuned for more giveaways coming soon.

Have a great weekend.

Last Night's Launch and More Giveaways

Today, I've been trying to go easy on myself. The last few days--weeks, actually--have been hectic, and after several days of stress, I tend to get migraines. When I woke up with the start of one this morning, I found myself extremely glad I had nothing big that had to be done today. I got the day off! Yay! (This is me ignoring all writing and editing projects and pretending they don't exist for a day.)

But I have to brag for just a little minute. I have perhaps the most incredible family and groups of friends in the world. Yes, that's right, the world. If you'd seen the turnout to last night's launch party, you'd know what I'm talking about. The manager at Barnes and Noble was more than flustered, she was flabbergasted at the sheer number of people who showed up to our launch--and stayed. Even the checkers were shocked at how many of our books went through that store.

Hooray! Not only did we sell them out of all their stock of Mormon Mishaps and Mischief, we sold 40 out of a box of 50 more books that we'd brought with us. (Barnes and Noble is reordering to replace our stash so they can be invoiced from our publisher.)

AND on top of that, since we invited our contributors to sign with us, some of them also sold a few of their in-stock books.

So, if you're wondering, yes, the launch party was a huge success. I'm only hoping now that we can sell even half that many at our signing at Barnes and Noble in the Gateway mall in SLC on Saturday  (11a-1:00p). That would make me really happy. Everyone cross your fingers, okay? Because it's supposed to snow and we don't need that at all.

Anyway, I'm very happy about how everything went, and will post pictures tomorrow or next week sometime. (Since I don't have my camera nearby and am being too lazy to go get it right now.)

I've been trying to keep all my readers up to date on all the awesome giveaways and fun prizes available to win this month, so here are a few updates:

1. Rachelle Christensen is giving away a gorgeous bracelet watch by The Bead Princess. Click here to see the details and enter to win. I LOVE these watches. They're one of my favorite accessories. As I mentioned in my comment to Rachelle, it's nearly impossible to choose just one.

3. LDS Women's Book Review is giving away a whole list of cool things. If you'd like to find out more, click here. Just a hint: Mormon Mishaps and Mischief is on the list of giveaways.

This will be my very first book signing in which I'm actually on the author side of the table. Yahoo! And I'm lucky because if no one shows up, at least I'll have my co-author Cindy to talk to. No hours spent twiddling our thumbs and feeling stupid for us. No-sirree. (But please, show up. Please, please, please...okay, so I told myself I wouldn't beg. Enough of that!)

Now, lest you have forgotten in all my many posts, you are all invited to this launch. And I'll just add that Cindy and I are in the process of putting together the prizes and gift baskets, and this is going to be one launch you don't want to miss.

Book Review: "Missing" by Ronda Gibb Hinrichsen

By Nichole Giles

I have to be honest. I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this book for months. And when it finally got here two days after Thanksgiving, I picked it up and started reading—despite the fact that I was smack dab in the middle of Dan Brown’s latest thriller. And let’s not talk about all the shopping I needed to do. That’s how excited I was to read this book. Yes, I admit, it sounds like Missing had some fierce competition, but Ronda Gibb Hinrichsen didn’t disappoint me.

The Blurb:


A BYU-Idaho choir tour in British Columbia turns out to be anything but ordinary when soloist Stacie Cox spots a kidnapped child from Rexburg during a performance. Before Stacie can alert the authorities, the little girl disappears. Stacie vows to find and rescue her, a choice that forces her to deal with her guilt-ridden past and another little girl that haunts her dreams.


When the handsome Matt Brennan helps Stacie in the search, she tries to resist the attraction she feels for him. Yet as he gains her friendship and trust, her resolve to never fall in love begins to crumble. And after a series of harrowing events, Stacie must decide if she is willing to sacrifice her life— and a possible future with Matt—to save a stranger.

My take:

Stacie Cox is a well rounded character. I liked how I saw her flaws early in the book, and how those flaws affected her throughout the story and turned out to be strengths in the end. The hunky love interest, Matt, also had his share of issues, though I do wish the story would have delved a bit deeper into his life, giving us the opportunity to get to know him a bit better. Still, you can only have so many main characters in a story, right? I found myself really hating Adrienne, the villain. She’s one messed up lady, and yet as we discover more about her, I feel kind of sorry for her, even as I really want her to get caught.

I found it interesting how the setting takes place in British Columbia near a castle. I’ve never been there, and now I find myself wanting to visit just to see the areas described in the book.

The fast paced story kept me reading from beginning to end, and even though I’ve had about a hundred other things to do this past week, I zipped through the entire book because I just had to know what happened next.  Also, the author's technical knowledge of writing is top notch.

My Nitpicks:

At the end I found myself wishing for just a little bit more. More conclusion? Another scene? I’m not sure what, just something. And knowing that Ronda has another book in the works, I’m hoping that the “more” is in the form of a sequel. But as I said, that’s just me being nitpicky, and even if the next book is a stand alone, I'll take it and be happy. 

All in all:

Great book, thrilling read all the way to the end. And yes, it was worth taking a break from Dan Brown for a couple days. Missing was much more romantic, less gruesome, and easier to read and understand. I can’t wait to see what Ronda writes next.

Don't forget to enter the Craft Desk Giveaway sponsored by The Original Scrapbox.  And check out my sidebar to see where I'll be signing Mormon Mishaps and Mischief this week.



**The author of this blog received a free copy of this book, even though I had planned to buy it, had set aside money to do so, and would’ve reviewed it after I paid for it, with the same results and comments. The only difference is that because the book came in the mail, it took longer to get here and is not signed. Therefore, I will have to track Ronda Gibb Hinrichsen down at one of her many events and have her sign it before it can join the collection of books on my shelf.

My Book is Here and a HUGE GIVAWAY for Charity!!!

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! Today, I got a box of books. Guess who’s names are on the cover? Mine. And my co-author’s, too. But my books are here! Check them out.

Awesome, right? Don’t forget, you’re all invited to the launch party for a rare opportunity to buy your copy and get it signed by both authors, as well as a few of the story contributors. And if you can’t make it to the launch, no worries. Cindy and I will also be signing in various locations in Utah during the month of December. Check out the sidebar for dates and locations and come see us!

For all you out of state people who are dying to get your hands on a copy, you can buy a copy here, or look here to find out how to get an autographed copy for a limited time.

Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…the big giveaway of the Original Scrapbox! This is by far the coolest, biggest giveaway I’ve ever participated in. And you, my fair readers, have a rare opportunity to enter to win.
