đ Welcome to Novemberâthe month we Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. With that in mind, Iâve been thinking about the kind of gratitude that shows up in laughter, friendship, and small moments of grace.Â
So this year, Iâm putting the finishing touches on A Peach Blossom Christmas, a heartwarming Families & Heroes novella I canât wait to share with you next month. đItâs my Christmas gift to readersâa story about angels, glitter, goats, and the kind of chaos that somehow leads straight to grace. Here’s an excerpt:
A bleat rose from near the manger.
“technically,” Pastor Joel murmured behind her, “no goats at the first nativity.”
At that moment, the goat let out a load, tragic bleat that echoed through the room.
Laughter rolled through the crowd.
Linda groaned, “Here we go againâjust like 2011.”
A Quick Favor
If youâve read Her Undiscovered Door from my Families & Heroes collection, Iâd be grateful if youâd take a minute to leave a review. Your words help readers discover stories of family, forgiveness, and second chances.Â
Coming January 6
The Trail You Left is about a woman whose husband disappears only to reappear after 19 years to warn of impending danger. Itâs a gripping tale of buried secrets, resilience, and the ways families heal.
Wherever you are in the world, I hope this season brings you connection, kindness, and maybe a few joyful surprises. Thank you for being part of my reader familyâyou make this journey such a gift.
Keep an eye out for December’s post! Iâll be offering you your free copy of A Peach Blossom Christmas. đ
