It's a salespalooza on Amazon!! I've been talking about my newest release, Carry Her Heart, for a few weeks, so it's fun to do a Throwback Thursday about some of my older books...books that are all on sale today!
This book is an oldies but (hopefully) goody. We have a radio station in town that ran a series of contests. It got me thinking...
what if? Yes, I know, those are a writer's most important tools! So in
Pickup Lines a woman (who's a bookworm...I don't know where I came up with that one?? LOL) who NEEDS a new car, and a man who's a pharmacist (here's an Easter Egg...I have a number of pharmacists in the family!) and wants it to promote his store have to live in a truck. Last one in wins it. A man and a woman stuck in a truck...let the fun begin!
I had an idea...a maid who went to LA to become a movie star. Instead, she ends up a mother of three and owns a cleaning service. It might not be the life she planned, but it's a good life...
And then one day she accidentally cleans a murder scene. Yes, she found a dead body in the first book, but I gave her some other mysteries to solve. You see, I didn't want to Murder She Wrote her...I mean seriously, if you were tripping over a dead body every time you went out, who'd invite you over???
I loved writing Quincy Mac's series. You can find all four books
here.
Spruced Up: Novella and
Swept Up are on sale this week!
Finally, two of the earliest books are on sale. At the very beginning of my career, I wrote
Bosom Buddies and
Cinderella Wore Tennis Shoes for Kensington's Precious Gems line. They were only available at Walmart. Now they have a new life as eBooks. So another Easter Egg...I worked with breastfeeding moms for years. And the opening scene in Bosom Buddies was inspired by that work. It was an odd little scene. I thought about rewriting it and making a more traditional opening. In the end, I just let it be because I liked it. The editor called me after she'd read just that scene and said to let her finish the books, but she couldn't stop laughing, so yes, she was buying it!
I call these "Holly Jacobs' Classics" just so readers know they're some of the earliest books I've written!
So there you are...Throwback Thursday's Salespalooza!

I've written a bunch of books since I started writing. I'll confess, I sometimes still get that pinch-me feeling when I really think about it. They've sold in over 25 countries to date. I've been fortunate enough to have readers who've followed me from my comedies, to my sweet romances, to my more serious family dramas...and now to my women's fiction/romances. Someone recently asked again for a booklist. I've done them before, but thought I'd do another one for here! I'm lucky that so many of my older books are now available as eBooks. I've also made note of the ones that are available as audio books! I've broken them into types.
My most recent stories have been women's fiction/romances. To be honest, I think of them more as a woman's journey...a journey that includes romance. I love looking at a story from a very heroine-centric point of view. 
Award Winning Valley Ridge Series:
Everything But—where every Hungarian knows that words have power—Series:
Bosom Buddies
Finally, I got my start with short stories/novellas. When I first whispered the words, 'I want to write,' I started with shorts. I've been going back to them recently. For me, they're simply fun to write. I love taking just a quick snapshot of a couple's relationship.
