I'm working on the sixth book (5 novels and one novella) in The Off Season series. It's hard to remember all the details. While revising, I came upon this sentence: "Thank you kindly, Novella Heroine. How's Novella Hero?” ... See MoreSee Less

Where does the novella fit, numberwise? Did I miss it?

I'm doing this from now on, lol.

I’m so glad I am not the only one who does this...🤣

Comment on Facebook **CLOSED** My winner...

During the holiday if it wasn't for Covid it would be nice to go to the mountain and see all the leaves turning and also maybe a little snow. Do a little Christmas shopping at some of the unique stores. Thank you for the chance at this great giveaway.

Pre-COVID would be South on the water or beach with my girls and grandson. Now would love a cabin in Pennsylvania with a big fireplace and hot tub. To be in the snow at Christmas is a wonderful feeling.

To be with my family in WI for Christmas with snow and Christmas decor inside. We hoping to still do that this year flying out to Wisconsin from Washington 😊

Prior to COVID - I would have said NY City at Christmas time - not anymore. I love to see Savannah GA at Christmas- the last time I went it was blistering hot! The Bonus is there’s family nearby that I haven’t seen in a year 😁

I'd love to go back to New Zealand! I loved learning about the Maori culture. The family I stayed with there were so welcoming.

Enjoy Debbie Macomber books. I have a small library of my own and have about 3 dozen her books and now I'm collecting some of your. Of course my library has about 3000 or 4000 books. I love to read

My husband and I and our 4 kids are going to a cabin in the mountains in Tennessee and get to see snow and have the holidays there. This was our plan before covid so hopefully can do this next year! ❤

Actually, I would just stay home during the holidays. Thanks for the giveaway!

Having to work from home and having the kids going to school from home I would love to just take a trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee for the Holidays and see the lights and festivities and maybe even fingers crossed a bit of snow

For the holiday I would love to be in Richmond Hill Ga, visiting with my twin 4 year old grand babies and my daughter and son in law.

I'd love to go to my sister's for the holidays. She lives very near Chattanooga TN

I actually like staying at home on the holidays, but it would be nice to visit my mom on the west coast on a holiday sometime!

I would love to be with my 3 grandsons and son....they have spread out and it's hard to get everyone together.

I would love to be in a cabin in the mountains, sitting on the porch and listening to the quiet.

I would most like to go to Maine. We are in MS because of the military and cannot travel. I miss my family so much.

Because if Covid, I’d stay off the holiday travel beaten path areas and go to my hometown of Pocomoke City, MD to spend time with my siblings, and have our traditional seafood-themed holiday dinner. I’m hoping my sister has my late mother’s oyster stuffing recipe!

What an honor to be teamed up with Debbie Macomber! Somehow I missed seeing this in January when it released. It's always fun to see what you're writing, Lee Tobin McClain!

To the Beach in Maine. Not too far from where I live in N.H., but with chemo past and radiation now, plus Covid numbers rising here, I guess we're staying home! I just received Christmas on the Coast from Harlequin, can't wait to read it.

I'd love to go to Salzburg, Austria. The Christmas market there is beautiful! Thanks for the chance!

I love being at home with family during the holiday season. However, if we would all be together, anywhere warm would be wonderful!

I’d love to see Charleston at Christmas time. Love that place, have only been there in the spring.

Would love to be on a cruise to Europe! 🚢 Thanks for the chance on this amazing giveaway!🎄🎅❤

I would love to visit Sydney, Australia where my brother lives. Australia is so beautiful I want to visit there, it’s a dream...

Any place the Hallmark Christmas movies go.

Looks amazing and I'm a Big fan of Debbie Macomber. I love spending time with my son and his family at Christmas. I lost my husband of 20 years and it will be 4 years on the 3rd of November, he passed away from Stage 4 Kidney Cancer and I took care of him along hospice so the holidays can be rough for me and family means so much to me. Thanks for your great generosity.

Christmas on the Coast by Lee Tobin McClain is the third book in The Off Season series but I feel like I didn’t miss anything by reading it as a stand-alone. This was a new author for me, and I rea�...
