Christmas Books
I'm a Christmas kind of person. Do you know anyone else who puts up five Christmas trees and thirty-seven Nativity scenes? I admit I tend to go a bit overboard, but I love Christmas. My passion for the holidays inspired me to write my first Christmas book back in the early 1990s, and now it is a tradition for me. I hope you’ll make reading my Christmas books a tradition in your holidays.

There's Something About Christmas
Mira Hardcover November 2005 Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who don't. She's firmly in the second category, so it's ironic that her major assignment for the Puyallup, Washington, Examiner is a series of articles about . . . fruitcake. At least it's a step up from writing obituaries. Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe contest, and that means traveling around the state. Actually . . . flying around the state. Local pilot Oliver Hamilton, who's starting an airfreight business, has agreed to take her wherever she needs to go, in exchange for free advertising. Unfortunately Emma hates small planes—almost as much as she hates fruitcake. |
