Today’s Wednesday Writers’ guest is Laura Hilton, back visiting with a recipe from her upcoming November 2017 release. Laura’s story, Carousel Christmas, is part of the Winter’s Kiss Collection which has six Christmas romances with a Christian message from bestselling authors.

I don’t know about you, but mint, chocolate, and brownies are three of my favorite things. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

Winter’s Kiss releases November 7, and is up for presale now on Amazon
