Coming Soon!

Yes, I almost have my Christmas anthology ready for publication. Footprints in the Snow will be available as an e-book only, and when it's out, I'll link it. For now, here's the "back cover blurb" and the cover (which needs just a little modification). The cover was done by my bestie, Sherry Jones. If you like it, say so in the comments! I love it and can't wait for this anthology to be live.

Footprints in the Snow...A heartwarming collection of three historical romance Christmas novellas. In Unexpected Christmas Gift, Rita Andrews awaits Vincent Lewis’s return from serving in the Pacific during the long years of World War II. The Greatest Gift of All brings Jeptha, ‘Jep,’ Cullen and Abigail Hardwick together in a rough mining town in the territory of Colorado at Christmastime 1865. Both have left their lives behind and now unexpectedly find themselves facing their hard existence together. Hannah Kelsey, now orphaned by the War Between the States, awaits patiently for news of her lone, surviving brother. A life that has been anything but easy is made more complicated by the Yankee soldier she finds lying in front of her cabin a few days before Christmas, 1864. Together, Hannah and her soldier, Jeff Steffend, each find a little bit of Christmas Grace.
