~Hi, folks!
Thanks for stopping by today. Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m Deanna Dee, writer of fun and flirty romance about geeky people, and today I’m sharing six books I’d absolutely love to get for Christmas.
~WINTER by Marissa Meyer
So this came out a couple of months ago, and I have grabby hands. OmigodIneeditnow! The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite series. I must know how it ends, hopefully sooner rather than later.
~A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC by V. E. Schwab
This is a fairly new release as well, and it just looks so freaking cool. London with magic? Hand it over.
~DEMON ROAD by Derek Landy
This one came out back in August, and I don’t know what’s the matter with me that I don’t own a copy yet. Derek Landy is my all-time favorite author ever since he repeatedly made my jaw hit the floor with his Skullduggery Pleasant series. Anything and everything else he writes is on my to-read list forever.
~FIREBUG by Lish McBride
This has been out for a while. I love McBride’s Necromancer series, and I’ve been wanting to get this book so badly. Maybe somebody will love me this holiday season.
~THE COMPLETE MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS (All the Words, Vol. 1 &2) by Graham Chapman
I can’t very well identify as a geek without a healthy respect (and love) for Monty Python. My boyfriend has all the Flying Circus stuff on DVD. All I need now is all the words, and life will be complete.

AN INTERVIEW WITH ANGELA
What is your favorite Christmas song?
I've always loved Carol of the Bells, although I admit that in spite of learning it word for word in choir a lifetime ago, when I sing along it becomes a cacophony of ba da da das interspersed with the word BELLS every so often.
What about movie?
That one's easy. Love Actually. I just learned recently that there are actually people in the world who do not like this movie. I know right? It's got every incarnation of love you can think of, and I challenge you not to break down and bawl like a baby at the real-life airport scenes at the beginning and end. Add in the ensemble cast and the zany side stories, and I can and do watch it again and again.
Would you share a line from your book and what makes it special to you?
"Chris grabbed the first thing that came to hand, a peculiar statue of Santa Claus with a fishing pole, and crept up the stairs."
The ridiculousness of using Santa in any incarnation as a weapon is really funny and real to me. My grandfather had a collection of these crazy Santas when I was growing up, and this was my way of bringing a little bit of that history as well as humor into what, for Chris, is a pretty tense situation.
How did your character(s) get into the situation we see in the book, and why Christmas?
To me, Christmas has always been a time to celebrate new beginnings. Chris and Tressa find themselves forced to face something neither really wanted to address. Truthfully, they get themselves stranded together by not doing the things that would have kept their relationship healthy in the first place. They didn't communicate. Tressa at least tries to put on a good face, but that's hard to do with someone who knows you so well. So The Cabin, a place of history for them, is also the only place in the world for them in that moment where they can truly let down their guards and be themselves.
What's next for you?
I’m currently working on the first in my Sunday Brunch Club series titled Minor Adjustments. Your readers will be able to sample the first couple of chapters when they download The Cabin. It centers around a newlywed couple Alyx and Ty who get the surprise of their life in the form of a not unwanted but certainly unplanned pregnancy. Hilarity ensues as they navigate the changing landscape of their relationship and deal with the cosmic shift from DINKs (double income, no kids) to parents. The cast of characters is rounded out by Alyx’s best friends, kindergarten by day/Jazz singer by night Bette, and savvy and got-it-all-together Lana who will have their own books once Alyx is finished telling her tale.
