The holiday season is quickly approaching. And though I firmly believe that the first sighting of Santa should be at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the Hallmark Channel began their Christmas movies before Halloween this year. However, never fear, they will be replaying them all season long, and you have plenty of…

Originally published in the early 1990s, Charlaine Harris recently released two new Aurora Teagarden…
