(POST 1 of 3 for Monday)
Happy holidays, everyone. Cathy McDavid here. So glad you’re here to play along with our Cowboys and Mistletoe holiday game. I’m going to do my best to fool you, but I think some of you may have been paying attention to my posts and be able to figure it out! I’m excited to feature my holiday release from last year, Blizzard Refuge. Yes, the book is a romantic suspense, but there really is a strong Christmas theme. Here’s the back cover blurb:
“Caught in a snowstorm…and a killer’s crosshairs!
A blizzard traps federal witness Kiera Driscoll and her seven-month-old daughter in the mountains with little hope of survival. Until Nash Myers shows up. Nash insists on sheltering them and their US marshal escort at his family cabin. Trusting a stranger feels beyond risky, yet Kiera has no choice. She must protect her baby. But as the storm closes in, so do the threats to her life…”
My giveaway for Cowboys and Mistletoe is a copy of Blizzard Refuge and a Nativity

Below you will find three statements, two of them are true, one is not.
Guess which one is the lie in the comments to be entered in the drawings.
Winners and answers will be announced on Sunday 12/03.
Cathy McDavid’s Two Truths and a Lie:
We once owned an antique wooden horse-drawn sleigh and dragged it out of storage every year.
When my children were young, they played characters in the church Christmas pageant, along with our donkey.
My husband was recruited as a last-minute substitute Santa Claus at the senior living facility where my late mother resided.
Cathy McDavid has been penning Westerns for Harlequin since 2005. With over 55 titles in print and 1.6 million-plus books sold, Cathy is also a member of the prestigious Romance Writers of America’s Honor Roll. This “almost” Arizona native and mother of grown twins is married to her own real-life sweetheart. After leaving the corporate world seven years ago, she now spends her days penning stories about good looking cowboys riding the range, busting broncs, and sweeping gals off their feet — oops, no. Make that winning the hearts of feisty, independent women who give the cowboys a run for their money. It a tough job, but she’s willing to make the sacrifice.
I believe that the first one is a lie. But what do I know.
Ooh, that’s the fun of playing along 🙂
number two, because you may not have had a donkey for a live nativity.
denise
One never knows!
I’m going with #2 being a lie.
The donkey seems to be the trick part of this one!
I chose #3 because it’s the most normal of them all
Not if you knew my husband 🙂
I’m guessing #1 (antique sleigh) is the lie.
Happy Advent/Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you, too!
I’m going with #1 as the lie.
Yeah, not many people have an antique sleigh.
I think 2 is the lie. Don’t know why, I just do.
The suspense is killing me 🙂
I’ll go with number one being the lie
Another vote for the sleigh!
I think 2 is a lie.
I’m thinking I needed to be more creative 🙂
I guess #1
The sleigh is a popular choice!
I think #3 is the lie – My husband was recruited as a last-minute substitute Santa Claus at the senior living facility where my late mother resided.
My skinny husband would definitely need a pillow to play Santa Claus 🙂
#2 donkeys would not be good in church
That’s a good point 🙂
I am going with number 3. Who knows?
Which makes this so much fun!
I will guess #3
LOL Hey Cathy! They could all be true! I’m going to guess #1. I’m not sure why, that would be cool! The other two could be my life! Heh.
I tried hard to make them all sound like something that could happen to me 🙂
I’m going with no. 1 being the lie.
Another vote for the sleigh!
I’m going with number 1.
Jeanette
I think the sleigh is the most popular 🙂
I don’t know why, but I feel #1 is a lie.
You’re in good company 🙂
I’m going with number 1
Got you down 🙂
I’m going with one but it does sound lovely
Yes, it does 🙂
I am going with number 2 because of the donkey.
Well, not many people would take a donkey into a church 🙂
#2
Okay, Teresa!
I think #2 is the lie, maybe.
I think you’re right…maybe 🙂
I will guess #3
All right, all right!
I’m going to guess that #3 is the lie.
They all sound like they could be true. I will guess the one about your husband being Santa.
Ho, ho, ho!
My guess is #1. The horse drawn sleigh, because it’s the one I most want to be true. Riding in a horse drawn sleigh is pretty close to the top of my bucket list.
What a great bucket list item!
I guess #3
It’s a good guess 🙂
I’m guessing the second one is the lie, although that actually did happen in my family! The church we used to attend had an outdoor Christmas drama 2 years in a row. I played an angel the first year, and the Angel of the Lord the second year, and our donkey carried Mary to Bethlehem both years!
What a great story 😉
I am going with number 1. Although they all sound like they could be true. I think I have changed my mind too many times. I am sticking with this one.
Okay, good guess 🙂
My guess is #2
Okay, okay. Got you down.
Number 1 is my choice.
A lot of people agree with you!
I am going with #2
You’re in good company!
I’m going with number 3, the Santa one.
Well, I do have a Santa hat in my box of decorations.
I’m going to say number 3 is the lie
I am thinking #2
Sounds good to me!
Good afternoon, I am guessing it is the first one. Have a great day and a great week.
You, too, Alicia 🙂
I am going with #1. Merry Christmas, Cathy!
#3
Just a guess…#1
Maybe #1??
I am guessing # 2 isn;t true
I guess #2 🙂
I debate between one and two. I’ll go with two. By the way I read your profile. I lived in Arizona for 4 1/3 years. Goodyear/Avondale area. I would love to read and review your book.
I say #2 if false. Again, it would be hard to work with a donkey.
I’ll guess #2 is the lie.
I’m guessing #1 about the sled. If it is true, I’m envious!
2
2 – When my children were young, they played characters in the church Christmas pageant, along with our donkey.
I am going to guess #1.
I’m guessing #2 is not true. Thank you for the opportunity to enter. Merry Christmas!
I am guessing the statement a out the wooden sleigh.
#2?
I’ll say #2 comment is a lie.
I am going to guess #1. God bless you.
My guess is #1
My guess is #2. Thanks for the chance to win a prize.
#3 ? 🙂
I’m guessing # 1, but if you do have an antique sleigh, we have an antique cutter blanket!
Guessing #1, also. Thanks, for the chance to win.
I say #2. Thanks for the giveaway!
This is really hard. I think I’m going to eeny, meeny, miny, moe and say #1.
I think #2 is the lie.
My guess would be #1 about the antique sleigh is a lie. You very likely did have your children and donkey in a pageant, and my husband has been “recruited” to be Santa at a nursing home (and other places) several times.
I think it is #1.
I think #2 is the lie
I think number 3
#3 is my guess, just a gut feeling
#2
Number 1! Just because everyone else chose 2&3!
I would say #1 is the lie because if you had an antique sleigh why would you no longer have it any more.
I think the 2nd one is the lie
I’ll say #1 is the lie.
I’m going with #2
