Best Gifts For My Book Characters! Happy Holidays!

The Christmas Ficus

I've been doing a lot of holiday shopping and it just got me thinking - what would I get the main characters in my books (if they were real) for Christmas? 

Here's the gifts I've come up with:
  • KAIT LENOX from Adventures in Funeral Crashing (Funeral Crashing Series): (This book is still FREE btw!) I have a couple of ideas for Kait. If I went movies/TV: Harold and Maude (about death and funerals, yet funny) or Veronica Mars Season 1 (snarky teen sleuth). If I went books: Size 12 Isn't Fat by Meg Cabot or One For The Money by Janet Evanovich (both funny mysteries). Or if I went clothes, a cute shirt from Forever 21 (that she'd be able to wear to look cute for Ethan).
  • CHLOE from The New Girl Who Found A Dead Body (The New Girl Who Series) : Since she wants to work in the movie industry after college, I have a couple of ideas in that vein. Either some great movies (whatever caught my eye) or a book about screenwriting called Save The Cat or the book Rebel Without a Crew by Robert Rodriguez (about how at 23 with $7000 he made a movie and became a successful filmmaker) - both in the hopes that they'd inspire her to pursue her dreams even if murder mysteries continue to haunt her!
  • CITRUS LEAHY from Doppelganger (The Doppelgangers Series): I'd definitely get Citrus books because she loves to read! Some thoughts are Divergent by Veronica Roth to Easy by Tamarra Webber. Citrus reads everything so I could probably get her almost any book. Although, if I wanted to be helpful in her current Doppelganger situation, I might get her some movies, like: The Faculty or Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Disturbing Behavior or the TV series Roswell.
  • DREW from Connected (A Paranormal Romance): He's tough, but then again the guys in my life are always the hardest to buy for, in general. Maybe music or movies or books or a video game. He's pretty soulful. Maybe an itunes gift card. That would be the easiest. If I went books, I'd probably get him something like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card or a book by Neal Stephenson. Or, a gift card to Urban Outfitters for some clothes.
That's my list so far! Wow, now I feel pressure to go do some more shopping! Happy Holidays everyone! And, happy shopping! Only 4 days left!

Connected (A Paranormal Romance) is NOW Available As a Paperback Book

Great news for all of you who don't have ereaders or just like physical books! Connected (A Paranormal Romance) is now available for purchase as a paperback book! Check Connected (A Paranormal Romance) out on Amazon! It's also available on Barnes & Noble and Createspace and other retailers! Just search my name - Milda Harris - or the book to find it!

What's it like? Well, it's similar to The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold as far as topic or Ghost Girl by Tonya Hurley as far as being about a ghost and the afterlife mixed with real life. Other than that it's not quite like anything I've read yet - it's a mix of mystery, romance, and science fiction. There's topics addressed like the afterlife, being a ghost, losing someone you love, and there's learning about life and death and what's in between. 


Here's a synopsis: Drew's only memory of his life is the moment of his death. Leaving his life and memories behind, Drew thinks that he is on his way to heaven as he follows the pull of fate. Instead, he finds himself witnessing the birth of a baby girl, Aurora. He immediately feels a strong connection to her. Thus, Drew becomes an invisible observer of her world as a ghost and Aurora becomes haunted by him.

Sometimes Life's Like A Movie

My dog Licorice approves this blog post. (This is her as a puppy at the shelter! Cute, right?)

I have a silly blog called Life's Like A Movie. I just thought I'd write a quick post about it because I'm about to start back blogging on it regularly. Basically, the premise is my dog Licorice and I show you how life's sometimes like a movie. In addition to loving and writing books, I love movies too!  Sometimes the blogs are real, sometimes they're set-up, but they're all in good fun! 

Check out my latest post - Life's Like National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

Happy reading!
