  • Holiday break — See you in the New Year …

    I’m taking a blogging break for the holidays. I’ll see you all back here on Monday, Jan. 8.

    I hope everyone has a terrific holiday season filled with all the people, activities, decorations, food, and other things you love and enjoy. And, of course, dozens of awesome books to read. Cheers! 😎 

  • Happy Thanksgiving …

    Kitty Boodle yawning and sitting in the grassKitty Boodle wants to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

    As you can see, Boodle is yawning and ready for her afternoon nap in this photo. LOL.

    Thanksgiving is my favorite weekend of the year. I love all the food, hanging out with Little Debbie, watching football and holiday rom-coms, putting up my holiday decorations, and taking lots of naps, just like Boodle.

    I hope everyone has a good, safe holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for reading! 😎 

  • Holiday break — See you next year …

    I’m taking a blogging break for the holidays. I will be back here on Monday, Jan. 9.

    I hope everyone has a great holiday season and that you all get lots of good books to read. Cheers! 😎 

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Here is a photo of some fall leaves that I took a few weeks ago. I love fall, and Thanksgiving weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. I plan to eat way too much food and watch tons of football and holiday rom-coms. I also like to put up my Christmas tree on Thanksgiving morning while the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is on TV.

    I hope you have a great holiday weekend filled with lots of food, friends, family, fun — and plenty of reading time. Happy Thanksgiving! 😎

    SUGAR PLUM SPIES DESCRIPTION:
     
    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep serves up an action-packed holiday adventure in her Section 47 urban-fantasy world of secrets, lies, and superspies with amazing magical abilities. Perfect for fans of Alias, Die Hard, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Nikita, True Lies, and Netflix’s Bodyguard.
     

    VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS . . .

    Most spies take a break for the holidays, but not me, Charlotte Locke. As an analyst for Section 47, a secret spy organization, I normally use my magical form of synesthesia to uncover lies and track paramortal bad guys from the comfort of my cubicle. But tonight I’m going out into the field, along with my partner, Desmond Percy, a powerful galvanist.

    Instead of enjoying Christmastime in the city, I’m in a German castle, dressed like a toy soldier and masquerading as a waitress at a swanky Christmas Eve party. My mission? To gather information that will help Section 47 track down a dangerous enemy.

    Despite the glitz and glamour, I can’t shake the sense that something is wrong—and that Desmond and I might not leave the party alive.

    DANCES OF DEATH . . .

    My name is Desmond Percy, although I’ve had many aliases during my years working as a cleaner for Section 47. But I’ve never had a real partner until Charlotte Locke.

    My part of the mission is simple: pretend to be a guest and keep an eye on things at the party while Charlotte uses her synesthesia to track down the information we need. But what starts out as a sugar plum dream quickly turns into a holiday nightmare.

    Forget the mission. All I want for Christmas is to keep Charlotte safe.

    Note: Sugar Plum Spies is a 47,000-word book. It is book 2 in the Section 47 series, but it can also be read as a stand-alone holiday adventure.
