    needs a top-notch temporary replacement for her administrative assistant’s
    maternity leave, and she needs to find a way to outmaneuver a hostile takeover
    attempt by Mark Adams. To make things worse, it’s almost Christmas, the time
    when Suzette most feels alone in the world. Too bad that handsome man at the
    party got away. But when the same stranger applies for the temp job, his
    almost-too-good-to- be-true credentials set off Suzette’s alarms. Dirk Harvey
    worked hard for years to remain anonymous while he built his father’s
    floundering company back up to its glory days. But when he discovers the
    stunning woman he’d spotted at a party is hiring, he decides to go undercover
    as “Dirk Mulligan”, administrative assistant extraordinaire. Besides, he and
    Suzette have a common problem: takeover King Mark Adams. Maybe they can find a
    solution together plus a little holiday bonus as well. The Littlest Angel by
    Vicki Batman Lauren MacDonald has always coveted her mother’s ornament, The
    Littlest Angel. When her mother gave it to another, Lauren embarks on a lengthy
    search and finds a replacement only to have it snatched from her hands. Smith

    another at a flea market would make her holiday the best ever. Only a feisty
    girl is claiming it for herself. Can the twosome find common ground and
    discover the true meaning of Christmas?

    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.
