The Winterwood Listening Duo

Two holidays. One charming small town. An unforgettable story to fall in love with.

Welcome to Winterwood, where holidays are never quite what anyone expects!

It all begins when Grace Parker sets out to give her beloved Granny one last Christmas to remember. What follows is a whirlwind of holiday preparations, unexpected guests, small-town chaos, and a few surprises that just might change Grace’s life forever.

But when Christmas ends, the story is only beginning.

In Countdown to Valentine’s Day, Grace’s plans for an Anti-Valentine’s celebration take a complicated turn when her boyfriend arrives with his new girlfriend in tow!

This collection includes:

  • Countdown to Christmas — Holiday Countdown, Book 1 (audiobook and ebook)
  • Countdown to Valentine’s Day — Holiday Countdown, Book 2 (audiobook and ebook)

Both books are beautifully narrated by Meghan Kelly, bringing the lovable and occasionally outrageous residents of Winterwood to life.

Perfect for listeners who love sweet small-town romance, found family, unforgettable characters, and stories that continue long after the first happily-ever-after.

Start at the beginning, get comfortable, and let Winterwood welcome you home.

Two complete audiobooks plus both ebooks. One special bundle price: $19.99.

Why readers love Winterwood

Sweet, clean romance

All the butterflies, tender moments, and heartfelt relationships—without explicit scenes.

A town that feels like home

Quirky neighbors, familiar faces, charming shops, and traditions you’ll want to join.

Family, friendship & second chances

Feel-good stories with laughter, meaningful moments, and people worth rooting for.

The Holiday Countdown series contains wholesome, feel-good, uplifting books that will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you feel nostalgic for holidays past!

They always say you should write what you know, so since I live in a rural, small Midwestern town, my books take place in one too! My books include all the things that make small towns so charming: a historic downtown street, quirky shop owners, an everyone-knows-everyone vibe, and a willingness to come together to support each other.

Each book in this series focuses not only on the holiday, but on the relationships between the characters. It highlights the importance of communication, forgiveness, and second chances. And since I'm a sucker for a good redemption story, you'll find a few of those, too!

11 Books With More on the Way
There are currently 11 books in the series, but I'm not stopping! Your support enables me to continue, so thank you for purchasing my work. I'm looking forward to crafting even more inspiring Holiday Countdown books to share with you and our friends.

Recommended for Ages: 14 to 114
My writing style is easy-reading with a focus on dialogue, events, and personal charm. No "spiciness" or sexual references. Most of my fans are older adults, but I try to write stories that grandmothers can share with their granddaughters.

From the Desk of Dianna Houx, Author, The Holiday Countdown Series

Dear Reader,

Holidays are such a special time of year. They're a time for food, fun, and family...and for traveling, traditions, and catching up with loved ones we only see on these very special occasions. They're also a time of stress, chaos, and drama!

From decorations to meal planning, gift shopping to guest lists, holidays bring about the kind of to-do list that makes your head spin. Emotions run high, expectations run higher, and somehow there's always one burnt casserole and one unexpected guest. Whether it's navigating family dynamics or squeezing onto overbooked flights, holidays have a way of testing our patience while still reminding us why we love them in the first place.

I wanted to capture everything about the holidays in their beautiful messy glory, which is why I began pouring my time and heart into crafting this long-running series. If you too love the holidays, come join me and a cast of characters who will quickly come to feel like old friends as we explore relationships one emotional season at a time. There will be tears, laughter, and most importantly, memories that will last a lifetime!

Happy Reading!
Dianna Houx

p.s.
I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all my fans and readers who share their tearful take-aways and inspiring sentiments. I hope my work continues to uplift every newcomer with blessings of hope and joy. ♥
