USA Today bestselling author Kit Tunstall lives in Idaho with her husband and two sons. She enjoys writing several genres and subgenres. When she started publishing, dinosaurs roamed the earth, and authors had one pen name with their publisher. That was the name you wrote everything under, no matter how dissimilar. Thanks to advances in publishing, it's now easy to have more than one pen name, and many readers have come to expect a certain type of book experience from each author. The "brand," if you will. Kit's catalog makes it difficult to tell what brand you're getting, so she has "co-authored" each type with a pen name, so you'll know what kind of book to expect. * Contemporary romances that are super steamy: Kit Kyndall * Science fiction and/or paranormal romance: Aurelia Skye * Edgier works (including fertile erotic romances and bad boys): Kristianna Sawyer * Historical Romances: Kristina Saxon * Horror, SciFi, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic without (much) romance: T.K.

CHRISTMAS BEAR
As Jason Nesmith left the front entrance of Nesmith's, one of the city's oldest department stores, he noticed two things. The first was the dimming of the evening as the sun departed to be replaced by twilight. Going to have to quit working so late, he thought to himself as he stepped onto the sidewalk. Just as soon as the holiday rush was over, Jason planned to take a vacation.
He turned in the direction of his black Mercedes, parked against the curb near the front of the store. He thought about stopping for chicken on the way home, but knew his housekeeper would have left a meal for one in the large refrigerator.
That's when he noticed the second thing. A little girl and a woman sat on the bench for the bus stop, less than ten feet from his car. Jason's eyes couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the russet shade of the mother's hair.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed the child had the same shade, but in a cascade of ringlets. She couldn't be more than six, but the faded coat she wore was obviously meant for an older child. It had been torn and mended a number of times.
Jason knew quite a bit about clothes, and he mentally tallied what the mother and daughter wore to equal less than an outfit sold in his store. He found himself wondering why they were in
