#NewRelease #TheLastTimeWeMet #TrishaRidingerMcKee

 

Laney is not a fan of Christmas. She grew up with a self-absorbed mother that overspent on silly gifts and lavish parties each year, so she makes it a point to celebrate the overrated holiday as little as she can. But at one of her mother’s over-the-top holiday parties, she meets Winston, a handsome, somewhat familiar man who is fascinated with her aversion to Christmas. When he insists he can show her a side of Christmas she will love, Laney accepts the challenge. But between Laney’s lovesick mother and Winston’s bully of a sister, even the hint of romance might not save the festive season.

About Trisha Ridinger McKee

HOW IT STARTED

As a little girl, I would hide in my room amidst the chaos and create stories to escape the darkness around me. That was my first experience as a writer.

STEPPING OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

In April 2019, I decided I wanted to do more than simply write and set it aside. So I took the chance and sent out my work, never imagining it would get results. Now 33 publications later, I'm so happy I took that risk.

JUST THE BEGINNING

I have a lot of projects in the works, and I'm excited to have the chance to share them with you. Please check back often to see updates. And check out my author page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/trishamckee/

Jennifer Gasner is seventeen when her dreams are shattered overnight. Receiving a diagnosis of Friedreich’s Ataxia, a rare genetic neuromuscular disease, means she must prepare herself for a life of loss. When she starts college, she can still walk on her own, but as her disease progresses, she spirals further into sadness, denial, and alienation. She turns to alcohol and a toxic relationship to distract her from what she refuses to accept—that her body, her self-esteem, and her hope for her future are failing.

When Jennifer develops a friendship with rock star Dave Matthews, her outlook changes. She begins to understand that using a wheelchair doesn’t mean her life is over. In fact, when she discovers disability culture, she realizes it’s not her body that needs to be fixed but her assumptions about being disabled.

In her captivating memoir, My Unexpected Life: Finding Balance Beyond My Diagnosis, Jennifer invites you into her world, where she must learn to view her changing body with compassion and choose gratitude over anger as she finds strength and acceptance in a whole new way of moving through life.


About the Author

Jennifer Gasner received her BA in English from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville and her MS in recreation from Western Illinois University. Her work with Independent Living Centers enabled her to learn about various disability programs throughout the country and ignited her passion for disability culture. She relocated to San Diego, California, on her own at the age of twenty-eight.  

As a mentor for What’s Next, a program for youth with disabilities, and as co-chair of UC San Diego’s Staff Association for staff with disabilities, Jennifer solidified her role in the San Diego disability community. In 2020, Jennifer became an ambassador for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), raising awareness about Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA). She participated in Rare Across America, meeting with legislators to discuss laws affecting more than 25 million Americans living with one or more rare diseases. 

 Jennifer is a member of the San Diego Memoir Writers Association, and her writing has been published in Shaking the Tree, volumes 3 and 4. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, movies, and traveling. She lives with her boyfriend Gregory and their dog. My Unexpected Life: Finding Balance Beyond My Diagnosis is her first book.

The Pumpkin Pact

Welcome to The Pumpkin Patch at Pickle Grove.

Andi is worried that her relationship with Drew has become dull and boring. They never do anything exciting these days, in or out of the bedroom. So when a swoon-worthy stranger appears she is instantly swept off her feet.

When they unexpectedly meet again, they realise they have more in common than they thought possible so draw up a pact to spice up their lives! The plan they conjure up while working together at The Pumpkin Patch, to make their partners jealous, brings them closer than ever.

Andi plucks up the courage to finish with Drew but there are no signs of Andrew doing the same and she thinks she’s lost him forever.

With meddling exes, misunderstandings and miscommunication getting in the way, can The Pumpkin Pact bring them back together?
