\n\tI’m hooked on holidays. Even the ones you don’t send cards for, like Flag Day.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSo when I saw (on April 1) that my publisher was accepting submissions for Christmas novellas (due May 1), I set my face away from my  <\/span>spring decorations, turned on Christmas music, and started writing. <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA month later and panting heavily from the exertion, I submitted “Christmas Passed” and immediately turned my thoughts to May Day.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSince then, the manuscript was accepted, the cover art designed and a release date of December 1 set. Since then I’ve decorated for Flag Day, Fourth of July, First Day of School, and all things autumn. Now it’s time to get in a Christmas frame of mind.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you are like me, you enjoy summer beach reads—while it is summer—and Christmas stories beginning the day after Thanksgiving. Moreover (if you are like me) you don’t want your Christmas stories too dark or depressing. Why ruin the most wonderful time of the year with gloom?<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t            <\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Christmas Passed” is a quick read, but filled with all things Christmas. Want decorations? It has boxfuls. Watery hot cocoa? Check. A possible romance? Possibly. Adorable old folks? Got ‘em. Danger? Of course! I am, after all, a romance-SUSPENSE writer.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSprinkle the story with a bit of humor, some life-changing history and a solid base of faith, and you have “Christmas Passed.” No matter where you live, your age, or your circumstances, I hope that, if you read it, you’ll get a whiff of Christmas at its best.<\/font>\n<\/p>\n
