Around the Fire Book & Author Blog. Today, Pamela S Thibodeaux is putting us in the Holiday spirit.

I wasn't sure what to open with today, but after checking out the date, I found October 15th, 1951, one of my favorite comedians had the debut of her show. I Love Lucy. It ran until May 6, 1957, with 180 half-hour episodes. I'm sure many of you remember this show fondly. My favorite, okay, one of my favorite scenes was where Lucy was trying to tell Ricky she was pregnant. Desi sang "We're Having a Baby (My Baby and Me)"; it was also the first time a pregnant woman was seen on television. We've come a long way, baby. 
Back in 2019, Pete and I camped near Jamestown, NY, and visited the Lucy ~ Desi Museum. You can check it out here at lucydesi.com/ Speaking of camping, my guest today is also a camper, and I can't wait for you to meet her. Take it away, Pam.

​Thank you, DV, for letting me hang out around the fire with you! I just love, Love, LOVE glamping 😊 In fact, I write about my adventures on my travel blog Bathroom-Blues.com. I hope you’ll check it out. Meanwhile, here is a picture of me and my (rescued) dog, Bandit, at his first National Park.
Summer is over, Fall is right around the corner, and the holiday season is barreling down upon us so what better time to introduce you to my collection of holiday-centered short stories, A Hint of Holiday Romance?
AHOHR brings you sweet stories of couples who, whether married or looking for love, find romance during various holidays throughout the year.
NN Lights Book Heaven gave A Hint of Holiday Romance 5+ stars saying, “Each story takes place during a holiday, and the couple is realistic, emotional, and enjoyable to read. This collection of romantic stories is meant to be savored each month while also read and reread.”

Why I Wrote A Hint of Holiday Romance Stories: As a novel writer, short stories are a welcome diversion, but also a challenge. To tell a complete story in so few words can sometimes frustrate one who thrives on the detail and description found in a novel.
Some of these were written with a particular women’s magazine in mind. Others were for the publisher I was with earlier in my career. A few were released years ago to my newsletter audience only, and a couple have never been published by any means.
 ALL were written for fun and the experience. A friend of mine said I write excellent short stories. I hope I’ve done well enough in these to entice you to want to read my longer works.
