Some of these are so lovely and colorful that I just had to share them, even though a couple look familiar. I would love to put Jack Skellington's head on that snowman tree: 18 Ideas for a Themed Tree

Alternative Christmas tree ideas (link)
Here are some interesting ideas for small spaces. The stacked blue bottles on shelves were interesting, but a red--or another color--topper would be nice. The succulents and feather trees were lovely: Small Space? Try an Alternative Tree

Story collection and audiobook
The Doorway and Other Stories is now available in paperback too:
Here
are fourteen of my favorite stories, and since my favorite genre is science
fiction, they are mostly SF except for The Princess Quest, a tongue-in-cheek
sword and sorcery epic, and Old Rex, a ghost story. They've all been published
elsewhere, except for Royal Guardians; this is its first time in print. If you
like reading about aliens, time travel, symbiotes, and humans searching for a
home, family, their own bodies, etc., check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The%20Doorway%20and%20Other%20Stories
Sugar Time (audiobook): http://hadrosaur.com/audio_books.html#sugar_time
Maxwell Sweet along with two professors have been conducting secret experiments in an old Victorian mansion outside Galveston, Texas. However, the two professors have vanished and Maxwell Sweet has fallen ill. Now, it's up to Sweet's tough-as-nails niece to find out what happened to the project: a time machine.
Note: Sugar Time will be available as a book one of these days, and it will include another story in the time machine series that was published separately.

Need gift suggestions? Books are always good!
These suggestions focus on my books, of course; I have a variety of fiction and non-fiction books waiting for readers, and here are some of them, starting with my novels:
Detour Trail is available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Detour-Trail-ebook/dp/B00F7CZ0R4/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1379281976&sr=1-1&keywords=Detour+Trail and from the publisher: http://www.melange-books.com/authors/joyvsmith/detourtrail.html
Detour Trail: Westward bound on the Oregon Trail, Lorrie Emerson is left behind and alone after her uncle is killed. Ignoring the wagon master's advice to go home, she rounds up others needing help; they join a later wagon train and are soon slogging through dust and mud and steep mountain passes, but it's not long before she's again forging her own trail and searching for a new home and supplies as winter reaches out its icy hands.... Settling the frontier isn't easy!
Strike Three is a post-apocalyptic novel: Because of the "hot virus," the devastation of WWIII is more horrible than the worse case scenario, and missiles fired in retaliation gave new meaning to "scorched earth." Can a new world move beyond the losses, mistakes and regrets? Strike Three is available in paperback or as an ebook.
