    screws on a character whose back is against the wall, or playing matchmaker.
    Adding the extra spice of international settings to my stories is fun, and
    gives me a chance to revisit some global travels. I’ve authored nearly a dozen
    novelettes, novellas and novels in fantasy, paranormal, and contemporary
    romance. Many more manuscripts are in various stages of completion, waiting to
    see the light of day. I live deep in the heart chakra of Texas with my true
    love in a cozy cottage along with our son and a crafty dog who rules us all. My
    muse settles for nothing less than the finest chocolates and coffee.

    Season of Surprises a new #holidayanthology by @VickiBatman #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and
    introduces the story.

    magazines, several publishers, and most recently, two romantic comedy mysteries
    to The Wild Rose Press. She is a member of Romance Writers of America,

    keyboard and thinking “What if??”

    Interview with Vicki Batman

    Why did you write
    this book?
    Last year, I was asked to participate in the Season of Magic
    holiday anthology. It did really really well and when asked to participate
    again, I said yes. But I wrote this particular story because of my love for
    handbags, specifically Enid Collins bags. They are wonderful stenciled and
    jeweled creations originally sold through Neiman Marcus. I love them. And
    created my own brand with a design for this holiday story.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I cut my teeth on mysteries like the Bobbsey Twins, Nancy
    Drew and Trixie Belden; so I am a huge mystery fan. I also like contemporary
    romance, especially with a touch of humor. And historical romances sweep me
    away like a Calgon moment.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I love wacky Stephanie Plum but mostly because Janet E.
    writes stories with humor. When I finished my first one to read, Four to Score,
    I fell in love with Janet E’s humor and said, “Finally.”
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m doing edits on Temporarily Insane, a romantic comedy
    mystery. AND yes, there will be another holiday anthology next year. Mine is
    tentatively entitled The Littliest Angel. I have a great backstory to share. I
    have a few more stories banked and I’m looking for a good spot for them.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    Season of
    Surprises is a holiday anthology which features my romantic comedy short story,
    “Holiday Handbag Extravaganza.” Here’s something to share about it: Christmas Countdown is on! Hunk-a-licious customer, Jack
    Treadaway, pesters boutique owner, Callie Woods, to locate a vintage handbag
    for his mother. Too bad the wedge between them is his sister, the meanest girl
    in town.
