Christmas New Orleans Style

Happy New Year! Oops, it's been a new year a day or so, but I've just returned home, so it's all new to me. Travel time doesn't count, right? We had a lovely time in historic New Orleans, once again making me regret that American historical romance isn't a major genre anymore. (See my backlist ebook Moonlight and Memories for my first attempt at catching some New Orleans flavor.) I've been enjoying steeping myself in the music and the culture and the history. And amusing ourselves with typical New Orleans humor. Looks like Santa is either very tired or now homeless!

 

How many of you got Mischief and Mistletoe for Christmas? Have you read it yet?

Pat--

I love the picture of the Santa struggling over one of the classic New Orleans cast iron railings. It would be great fun to spend a Christmas in NEwe Orleans. Surely the food was amazing!

But I bet it's also good to be home. *G*

Pat, I lovvvve New Orleans and hope to go back there again. I've only been there in July, though, so I can't imagine it in cooler weather.

I loved the food and the music.

And strangely, I *do* have a copy of Mischief and Mistletoe — quel coincidence. *g*

I have a copy of Mischief and Mistletoe, which I bought for myself when it came out because I have so missed those old Signet and Zebra Christmas novelette collections (which I still reread!). I haven't finished all of it, though now that I am current on Jack Reacher, it's time to go back to it and read about heroes who would be horrified at the idea of wearing the same clothes for three days straight and then throwing them away.

I put Mischief and Mistletoe on my Christmas book list - underlined it three times and miracles will never cease the daughter got it for me!!It has now been read ! Get writing wenches I am running out of your various back lists !!
Happy New Year to you all may it be peaceful and in England at least a tad drier.

Oh yes, the food in New Orleans was beyond lovely! Is there any place there that doesn't serve good food?

Thank you Janice and Jo for keeping up with the traditional Regencies! They're fun for us to write, especially if we know we have an appreciative audience.
