Hi everyone,
My newsletter went out today in which I shared more details about The Tycoon’s Kiss movie which is now called An Autumn Romance, starring Jessica Lowndes and Chad Michael Murray, and premiers on the new GAC family network on October 23rd!
If you received the newsletter but didn’t see a tv channel option that works for you, here’s a longer list of places that carry the GAC network –
I am so excited for the movie and am planning to get completely in a Fall-ish mood by baking my delicious pumpkin bread, which is a family favorite, especially for my 12 year old, Mac! If you’d like to try it out too, here’s the recipe.
Jane’s Favorite Pumpkin Bread
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup, leveled off
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1-1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 15oz can 100% pure pumpkin (I use Libby’s)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 325°.
Grease 2 8×4 loaf pans with butter and dust with flour.
Combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisk well and set aside.
In a large electric mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until just blended.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
Beat in pumpkin. Mixture should look grainy and curdled. That’s okay.
Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Turn batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 65-75 minutes or until done.
Let loaves cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
Fresh out of the oven, the loaves have a deliciously crisp crust. If they last beyond a day, you can toast individual slices to get same fresh-baked effect. Enjoy!
I’m celebrating the premier of The Tycoon’s Kiss movie (aka GAC’s An Autumn Romance) with a fun giveaway. For a chance to win, leave a comment below and let me know what’s your favorite thing about the Fall season!

the cooler weather
Congratulations–so excited for your upcoming movies on GAC Family–so glad that Bill Abbott is at the helm of the network!!!
Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. I live in the beautiful mountains of VA–always gorgeous–breathtaking in the Fall. With a tapestry of colors from nature’s palette, and painted by a master hand, the scenery is stunning. The deep, rustic reds are my favorites. The scents of Autumn are equally appealing. The smell of the leaves–especially those in the piles my grandfather would rake up and I would jump in and demolish. Apple pies, cinnamon rolls, and molasses cookies from my grandmother’s kitchen. Candles, fireplaces, and campfires with marshmallows toasting on sticks. School supplies–oh, how I loved the smell of fresh pencils, notebooks, crayons, and chalk, and new school books. Pumpkins everywhere (definitely making your pumpkin bread recipe)!!! I love Autumn.
I love the cooler Temps and apple picking and fall colors. Thanks for the chance!
i love the colors of the season & going to the outdoor festivals.
I loved The Tycoon’s Kiss and look forward to seeing how they adapt it as a movie. And also excited to see A Christmas Miracle for Daisy.
Two books from the Sheenan series is fantastic!
Fave fall thing, once it cools down in Texas, is drinking tea or cider.

I am so excited for you! I love the book. I love the crisp, misty mornings of fall, and seeing all the decorations.
I love the color of the tree leaves changing.
Hi Jane! I do enjoy Autumn and kind of feel like F. Scott Fitzgerald who said, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall.”
I do like the cooler temps and that it is football time
Fall is my favorite season of the year. I love the bright orange pumpkins, hayrides, fall festivals! Even the food is better, love the soups, chilis, and pumpkin spice chia tea! I love the change of the season, the crisp air, the cooler temperatures, the gold, russets and burgundy colors of the beautiful, changing leaves, except they are falling. Love the smell of burning leaves, and I love the sound of the leaves crushing underfoot when I walk! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all wonderful! Looking forward to watching The Tycoon’s Kiss on Hulu!
Congratulations!
I do love the autumn colors, the warm days and cool crisp nights and hot chocolate.
I’m excited about the movie too.

Love the cooler weather, leaves changing colors on the trees and going to the pumpkin patch. Thanks for your great generosity.
I love the crisp air when I open the windows. I also love hot chocolate while reading. It seems to taste better when it’s cool outside ☕️
