Today I’m excited to present my cyber friend, author Mae Clair, and her new book Food for Poe. I have enjoyed all of Mae’s books and am reading her new one–and loving it. My fur fae Marigold agrees, and you will too!

Cats, Christmas, and Romance by Mae Clair
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is looming just around the corner. I have no complaints though, because Christmas is my favorite holiday. Not only do I enjoy December 25th and Christmas Eve, but I love the entire month of December. It’s like one long holiday with all the merriment, festivities, and spirit of goodwill that leads up to that very special day. I’m a Christmas sap.
So it stands to reason I’d eventually get around to writing a Christmas story.
Those who know me also know there are two things (other than writing) I’m passionate about: folklore and cats. When it came time to dream up a Christmas story, I decided to weave both elements into the tale. The result is FOOD FOR POE, a short Christmas novella that is also a tale of sweet romance, twined with the paranormal, and even a wee smidgen of horror (just a smidge, I promise!).
Take a look:
BLURB:
When a blizzard strands Quinn Easterly at a handsome stranger’s house on Christmas Eve, she doesn’t realize her newly adopted cat, Poe, is the catalyst responsible for bringing them together.
Breck Lansing gave up on relationships after his wife, unable to cope with their daughter’s illness, left him. But the pretty blonde he rescues from a snowstorm has him rethinking his stance—especially when Quinn’s arrival coincides with a dramatic change in Sophie’s health.
Unfortunately, that change also attracts something only whispered about in folklore. Together, Quinn and Breck must defeat a sinister creature intent on claiming the ultimate payment.
Warning: A clever black cat, Christmas magic and paranormal trouble
~ooOOoo~
I’m happy to announce that FOOD FOR POE has just released. YAY! In celebration of the holidays, you can grab a copy for $.99 at Amazon. If you don’t have a Kindle, you can download a FREE Kindle Reading App for your PC, MAC, iPad, iPhone, or Android. Cats and Christmas. What could be better?
Merry Pre-Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Hi, Daisy. Thank you so much for sharing in my enthusiasm for Christmas and cats 🙂 I’m delighted to know you’re looking forward to the story.
Yes, yes, yes! A perfect combination – folklore and cats.I’m sure the result is as expected – captivating. Love the cover. Let’s see what’s under it, then….
Thank you, Flossie, for showcasing Mae and her latest release.

Hi, Cathy. Thank you for checking out my post. The combination of Christmas, cats and magic was one I couldn’t resist. If you give “Poe” a try, I hope you enjoy the tale (or tail, as the case may be, LOL).
Flossie, thank you so much for hosting me today. I apologize for not popping in earlier. Real life has been throwing me some curve balls lately, limiting my time online, but hopefully, I’ll be back to normal soon. So glad to hear you’re enjoying reading Poe…and that Marigold approves, too 🙂
Thanks for being here, Mae:)
