Author Notes

W. Bruce Cameron was born in Petoskey, Michigan in 1960. He sold his first short story when he was 16 years old to The Kansas City Star and was paid $50.00. He graduated from Westminster College and became a freelance writer. He eventually took a string of day jobs to support his writing habit including driving an ambulance; repossessing cars; selling life insurance, wine making equipment, and men's clothing; programming computers, and analyzing financial statements. In 1995, he started an on-line Internet column, which became successful. He showed his columns to the Rocky Mountain News and in 1998 they began featuring him weekly in their Home Front section. He turned his "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" column into a book, which was published in 2001 and was turned into a hit television show in 2002. His other works include How to Remodel a Man, 8 Simple Rules for Marrying My Daughter, A Dog's Purpose, A Dog's Journey, The Dogs of Christmas, and A Dog's Way Home.

After numerous No. 1 New York Times best-selling doggie delights, Cameron returns with A Dog's Perfect Christmas, featuring a peppy puppy easing a family's tough holiday problems (300,000-copy first printing). In Colgan's Christmas at the Island Hotel, set on an island between Scotland and Norway, new hoteliers Flora MacKenzie and brother Fintan get ready to open for the holidays while island-girl Isla loves her posh new waitress job and kitchen assistant Konstantin, secretly a duke's son sent to learn about hard work, starts liking the environs (100,000-copy paperback and 30,000-copy hardcover first printing). The standard bearer for Christmas fiction, Evans keeps on glittering with The Noel Letters (200,000-copy first printing). In Macomber's Jingle All the Way, work-obsessed Everly Lancaster escapes the holidays for a tour of the Amazon river basin with handsome guide naturalist Asher Adams but suddenly feels she should go home for a snow-flecked Chicago Christmas. In Mallery's Happily This Christmas, single mom Wynn Beauchene helps cute neighbor cop Garrick ready his home for his visiting daughter, and the rest is romance. Novak's A California Christmas offers a new "Silver Springs" story to match the shine of the holidays (400,000-copy mass market and 10,000 hardcover first printing). In Roberts's One Charmed Christmas, emotionally burdened Catherine Pine escapes the holidays by taking a European river cruise, where not one but two suitors--a doctor and a chocolatier--await (75,000-copy first printing).
