Hot Off the Press

We interrupt your sporadically-scheduled posts to bring you an important announcement… (And if you saw the short version of this announcement on Facebook or Twitter, sorry for the repetition, but I’d be remiss not to share it with my followers here. 😉 )

Thanks to the talents of a fabulous local web designer, Laura Parvey-Connors, I now have an author website! *happy dance* You can check it out here, or click on the recently-added “Author Website” tab at the top of this page. 🙂 If you choose to subscribe to my quarterly newsletters over there, you’ll receive a bonus chapter that precedes the events in my up-coming book, Tinsel in a Tangle. Think of it as a teaser, really, set up to reflect the tone of the book, hint at the flavor of dialogue you can expect to encounter, and give you a snapshot of the main characters. If you enjoy reading it, then I promise you’ll enjoy the book even more.

I can also promise (and I don’t make promises I can’t keep, much to my daughters’ frustrations) that all proceeds I receive over the life of this book will go toward helping restore physical and spiritual health to girls rescued from sex trafficking.

Yes, I will expand on that in another post.

In the meantime, since I’ve been pretty tight-lipped regarding Tinsel in a Tangle, you might be wondering what it’s all about. Here’s the back-cover summary of my YA Christmas fantasy… I hope you enjoy.

In the arctic town of Flitterndorf, generations of elves have worked alongside generations of Kringles, making gifts for believing children worldwide. Never have they endured a tall, blundering elf like Tinsel, however. Despite her setbacks, Tinsel’s determined to prove her worth by nabbing an internship at the Workshop. But when her latest mishap destroys gift reserves and puts Christmas in jeopardy, she lands a punishment mucking reindeer stalls for Santa’s hotshot grandson, Niklas. If she wants a second chance at that internship, she’ll have to collaborate with the twinkle-eyed flirt to redeem herself in everyone’s eyes—and do it without messing up. For one more calamity will not only bring about the holiday’s demise, she’ll be immortalized as the elf who shattered children’s faith in Santa Claus.

So not the way she wants to go down in history.
