The characters in this book go through some things. While that is, sadly, their lot in life– being characters in my book–it is unfortunately also true that some readers will have experienced similar traumas. I want everyone who reads this tale to find some measure of enjoyment out of it; I also know that some subjects are just too upsetting and ruin our individual attachment to a book.
I didn’t spend the early pandemic months of 2020 making sourdough bread, learning a new language, or writing a novel. We’d move to Texas a measly 9 months prior. We were still trying to settle in, considering if we wanted to buy a home, and figuring out future plans. My sons–who I homeschool–were completing their 11th and 8th grade years. I was plenty busy.
I’m very excited about the launch of Winter Wonder! As with all artistic endeavors, this anthology (and my contribution to it) was not formed in a vacuum. I want to tell you how “Aliens & Gingerbread” came to be, and I want to thank the people who helped me share this story with the world.
I started my first author blog back in 2011. Rather than re-create it here, I’m providing a link.
