My latest holiday novella--A Heart Off Limits--was released on February 1st and I've been getting great feedback from readers. Now, in honor of Valentine's Day, that same book is being featured in a group of 50+ books that are clean, cozy and perfect for this month of love. The best part? From February 10 to February 16, each of these books is only $.99!<div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you might have noticed from my Soul Saver Series, I'm a sucker for anything historical.

I'm not sure if I would have had the guts to travel across an ocean looking for land that may or may not be there, but I'm glad someone else had the courage. Legend says that Florida was discovered by Juan Ponce de Leon in the 16th century while he was searching for the Fountain of Youth. Is that true? Probably not. If I remember correctly, no proof has been found that he was on that particular quest, but...it makes for a great story.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The older I get, the more I think I'd like to find the Fountain of Youth for myself. But, since that's probably not a possibility for most of us, you should settle for reading Holly's new book, Cursed by the Fountain of Youth. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and I think you will to.

<b>What if the Fountain of Youth were a woman and that woman’s blood held the key to eternal youth? For Fae Miller, that is her reality and it will likely kill her.</b><br />
<br />
For centuries, countless adventurers have searched for the Fountain of Youth. Those who found it thought they would gain eternal life. Instead, they find themselves murdered by its guardians. There was, however, one, lone survivor—Fae Miller. As an infant, she not only survived the Fountain, she took its power.<br />
<br />
Twenty-two years later, Fae is hiding in plain sight at a local college. She’s is determined to leave the past behind her and live a normal life. But for one dying man, the search for the Fountain of Youth continues, and he is leaving a trail of blood and mutilated bodies in his wake. Unfortunately, that trail leads directly to Fae. Her only hope is a young, new college professor, also known as Special Agent Nick Chase of the FBI. Nick is determined to do two things: keep Fae alive, and keep his relationship with his student professional. Both of these jobs prove difficult—especially when love and magic get involved.</div>

Bathed in moonlight stood the most beautiful scene Fae had ever laid eyes on. A fountain sat on top of a hill. Stone steps at her feet led up to the structure. Water flowed over the side of it, as if someone had been filling it and left the water running too long. The water continued its flow down the steps and seeped into the mossy ground at her feet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Sloshing through the water, Fae made her way up the steps. Even though the air around her felt cold, the water warmed her feet. When she got to the top, she gasped at the breadth of the fountain. It was the size of a swimming pool, brimming with water that spilled over the side.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
The singing stopped, and then a voice spoke, filling her with inexplicable joy.<i> Fontaine. You’ve returned to me.</i> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
She’d heard this voice before, but couldn’t quite place where.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>Come join me in the water.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I’ll drown,” she said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
There was a warm chuckle. <i>You won’t drown, my child. You are born of my waters. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Who are you?” Fae asked, uncertain whether she should be terrified or not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>I am the Lady of the Fountain.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Is that kind of like the Lady of the Lake? The one in King Arthur’s legend?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>You speak of Freya, my sister. My name is Ester.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Fae looked around at the forest of the Between and wondered if this was the place she was born, and not the bayou in Florida. Could her mother be buried around here?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>This is not my original home, </i>Ester said, as if she could read Fae’s thoughts. <i>I have been moved twice in my lifetime. My first home is in a place you call Ethiopia. I lived happily there for many centuries. But then I was stolen from my home and brought to the Americas. For many years, I was kept safe by my guardians, but then one betrayed me and wished to exploit my powers. I did not allow him to use me to further his evil designs. But then I was left alone—until a man named Conall found me and brought me here.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Why didn’t he return you to your home in Africa?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>He told me my home has been corrupted. I would not be safe there.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I’m really sorry.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>Don’t worry over me, child. This place is wholly adequate.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“That’s good to hear.” Fae paused, the question she’d been dying to ask on the tip of her tongue. Finally, she asked, “Do you remember my mother and father? Do you know where I can find them?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>I’m sorry. Where they are, you cannot go. I am truly sorry. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
"So they truly are dead?"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>"Yes."</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Fae’s heart sank. She hoped that Brigitte had been lying and her parents were alive somewhere. Fae could feel the remorse emanating from the fountain and felt the need to comfort Ester. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“But, you saved me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>Yes, I did.” </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Thank you,” Fae said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
You<i> are welcome, my child. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Fae reached out her hand and touched the water. Her spirits immediately lightened. The water took on a green glow as a breathtaking face appeared just below the surface, haloed in long, black hair. The Lady smiled at her but remained beneath the water.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“So, you can grant youthfulness?” Fae asked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>Or take it, from anyone that touches my waters.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i> </i>“What happens when they drink?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>They are not meant to drink. That is a theft. Youth stolen without permission. For most, the punishment is immediate—madness. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
An errant leaf drifted and landed on the surface of the water. Fae expected it would float, but it didn’t. It dropped like a stone. This water wasn’t like any other she’d seen. Fae wondered what those waters had done to her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>The waters did nothing to you. I gave you my power. I saw what was planned from the beginning. I could not stop him from destroying my guardians, but I could keep him from succeeding in his quest for eternal life. So, I gave you my power—leaving me weak and powerless. That act accomplished two things—it kept the power from falling into evil hands, and it saved your life.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Are you still powerless?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>No, my dear. I am now fully restored.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“That’s good to know, but I’m sorry to tell you that he found me. He came after me. He got his youth back.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>That is unfortunate. I only meant to protect. Instead, I cursed you.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I wouldn’t call eternal youth a curse.”</div>
<i>It can be. There is no fear as universal as the fear of death. Men will kill to stop it. They will do the most heinous and terrible things to avoid it. And giving you the power to grant eternal life will make you forever a target. Now, will you please join me in my waters? </i><br />

You might be interested to know that some of the most outrageous tales in this novel are actually based on true history—including the tale of Captain Abela and Dolores. The tragic end to their love story occurred over two hundred years ago in a secret room located in St. Augustine's Castillo de San Marcos—a castle-like fort built by the Spanish over three hundred years ago.

This season, stores began selling merchandise on December 26th, many weeks before the actual holiday will occur. Now, I'm a holiday lover, but really? Of all the holidays, I feel like Valentine's Day, a day we should all be showing love, has become a day to show off instead.<br />
<br />
As a child, we passed Valentine's cards out to all the kids in our school classes. Some of them contained candy and some didn't. That was fine. It was all about what was written on the card. I remember spending hours carefully selecting each message for the recipient. After all, I wouldn't want to accidentally declare my love to a boy I didn't have a crush on. And if I did have a crush on a boy, I didn't want to make it too obvious.<br />
<br />
Last year, my children brought home the usual Valentines, but never even looked at the cards. It was all about the candy. Gone are the days of a conversation heart or two tucked inside a tiny Valentine envelope. Now, some overachieving students (cough...parents) are instead giving entire bags stuffed with candy and gifts to each student in the class. Where will the madness end?<br />
<br />
I'd much prefer a thoughtful homemade card or letter or a loving gesture. I'd also rather spend time with my hubby than have him try to outdo the neighbors by buying me larger bouquets of flowers and bigger boxes of chocolates than everyone else. Am I alone in this thinking? Tell me, what do you really think of the next holiday?<br />

"A Heart ... Off Limits"<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Revealing a new cover and blurb about a book is almost as exciting to me as the actual release day.

That’s what happened to me the day Eli Markham walked away from the school bully, instead of fighting.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It wasn’t the first time he’s done this, but it was the first time his eyes found mine in the crowd and held me captive. Now, I can’t get him out of my head and I’m seeing him everywhere.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Problem is, I’m not the only one taking notice of him. Someone, something, has got him in its sights and they want him bad. Bad enough to try to frame him for the murder of the bully he walked away from.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>As his alibi for that crime and then another, I’ve stumbled into the crosshairs of the monster that’s after him and losing isn’t an option for it.</i><br />

<i>Then rumors of war bring a foreign prince to seek an alliance with Kildaria, and Theona’s shocked that Prince Gideon Seville is the young man of her dreams, the one with the violet eyes.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>When Theona is condemned to death for transgressing the law, those evil spirits—the shades of sorcerers long dead—offer her one reprieve. Just learn to use magic she never knew she had to return them, and their two ferocious dragons, to mortality, and they’ll set her free. She has no choice but to comply, but she fears that if the sorcerers don’t destroy her, the lure of magic could. Her chance friendship with Prince Gideon blossoms into the love of a lifetime, but even together, will they have what it takes to beat the odds against evil sorcerers, magical dragons, war, and death?</i><br />

Since today is Throwback Thursday, I decided it might be fun to share it here.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Mary_Celeste_as_Amazon_in_1861.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Mary_Celeste_as_Amazon_in_1861.jpg" width="400" /></a>Disclaimer: This scene was written very, very early in my writing career. Pretend it sounds nice and pretty and that I didn't overuse adverbs or head hop. Okay? Okay. This is a real event from history, so the characters are 100% real.<br />
<br />
Also, don't forget that <i><a href="https://amzn.com/B00YAKL5I2" target="_blank">Shadow of a Life</a></i> is currently free on Amazon and Smashwords. If you download it through Amazon, you can get the audiobook for only $1.99!<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Captain
David Morehouse, captain of the <i>Dei
Gratia</i>, strode towards the helmsman and snatched the spyglass from his
outstretched hand. Just ahead of them a brigantine bobbed up and down in the
rolling waves. The sails of the large, two-masted ship were worn and she listed
slightly to one side. Captain Morehouse ordered his crew to approach cautiously.
They sailed nearer, their apprehension growing with every splash of the water. When
they were close enough to see the main deck, he again raised the spyglass to
his eye, but there was no sign of life on the mysterious ship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Maybe we can see the name
on her bow,” Captain Morehouse ordered. The <i>Dei
Gratia </i>slowly cut a path through the dark waters. An eerie quiet hung in
the air. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Captain Morehouse cursed when
he saw the name emblazoned on the side of the boat. “It’s the <i>Mary
Celeste</i>. She should have reached Italy days ago.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> The
crew of the <i>Dei Gratia</i> gathered
around her bow and watched in silence, waiting for something to happen, not
knowing what to expect. It was a long time before Captain Morehouse cleared his
throat to speak again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> “Deveau,
take a couple men and board the ship. Captain Briggs is a friend of mine. It’s
our duty to assist him and his crew.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> “Yes,
sir!” Oliver Deveau served as chief mate of the <i>Dei Gratia</i>. In all his years sailing, even as a captain himself at
one time, he’d never come upon such a bizarre scene. The waters were a busy
shipping area and it wasn’t uncommon to pass multiple vessels on a journey
across the Atlantic, but he’d never seen one that appeared to be sailing
itself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> With
the help of two others, Deveau rowed the small lifeboat to the waiting <i>Mary Celeste</i> and boarded her wooden planks. Cautiously, they explored the
main deck and then, with ever growing anticipation, made their way below deck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> From
the <i>Dei Gratia,</i> Captain Morehouse
watched with a sinking feeling gnawing at his stomach. Captain Briggs was a
fine captain and would not willingly abandon his ship. The two captains were
friends and had sailed together in their younger years. On the evening of
November 4<sup>th</sup>, just one month earlier, they’d met for dinner with
their wives. The <i>Mary Celeste</i> left
port the next day, bound for Europe. Captain Briggs’ wife and two-year-old daughter
were accompanying him on his trans-Atlantic voyage while his seven-year-old son
stayed home to attend school. Everything had appeared to be in place for an
uneventful trip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> “Well?” Morehouse demanded of Deveau as the
men climbed back over the rail of the <i>Dei
Gratia </i>a short time later. “What did you find? Has there been some tragedy? Have they all come down with yellow fever?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> “Sir,
the ship looks a little worse for the wear, but she’s in sailing condition. I
think we should take her in for salvage,” Deveau replied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> “And
the fate of the crew?” Morehouse asked impatiently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Deveau hesitated. “I can’t answer that, sir. There’s
nothing there. No people. No bodies rotting in their beds. Everyone has vanished.”
He paused before going on. “Sir, it’s as if she were a ghost ship.”<b> </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Growing up, my mom made all of our bread. Each Saturday she'd make six loaves of the deliciousness. If she bought something from the store, it grew green-stuff-that-shall-not-be-named before anyone ate it. To this day, she still makes all her bread and I get warm memories just thinking about the wonderful smell it created in our home. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think of myself as a decent baker, but for some reason, I've never been able to perfect Mom's bread recipe. (I'll blame it on differences in elevation. Cough...cough...) Since Lauren's mom in <i>Losing Independence</i> makes a ton of bread, too, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to share a recipe I adapted that DOES work for me. I don't make bread every time we run out, but when I do, I double the recipe and make 4 loaves. They freeze well and my kids love the bread for sandwiches and toast. Enjoy!</span></span></div>

First, roll the dough into a rectangle with the shorter side being approximately the width of your bread pan. While you're rolling, make sure you are eliminating bubbles in the dough. Next, roll the rectangle up, starting with the shorter side, and pinch the dough together. Last, pinch the sides down and plop it into your pan.</i></span></span><br />

Summer vacations are supposed to be fun and entertaining and stress-free. Right? RIGHT??? Well, that's usually how our vacations go, but this summer our simple trip had a few bumps.<br />
<br />
It all started the night before we left. I was busy trying to pack and twice found that one of the kids had spilled water on the kitchen floor and failed to clean it up. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy. When it happened again, my husband and I realized it wasn't the kids. Nope. The icemaker in the fridge was broken.<br />
<br />

<br />
We shut it down, cleaned up the mess, and finished packing. The next morning, Jeff was loading the truck for our trip to Glacier National Park. Camping with six people can be fun, but it requires squeezing a lot of gear into a not-so-big space. One of our dear children sat in the front of the truck, pretending to drive, and pushing a lot of buttons. We finally got everything and everyone loaded and prepared to back out of the garage. Except the truck wouldn't start.<br />
<br />

<br />
Apparently one too many buttons got pushed while the dear child was playing make believe and the battery drained. A quick jump later and we were on our way to eastern Montana to visit the in-laws and attend my husband's class reunion before heading to the national park. The weekend was great and we had fun meeting with old friends. But then, the curse struck again. We woke up Monday morning to leave and our oldest child was sick. The kind of sick you don't want someone to be when you have a long drive in enclosed spaces.<br />
<br />

<br />
We didn't have another choice, so we grabbed some large Ziploc bags and left--or at least we tried to leave. After rolling the window down to wave goodbye to Grandma, the driver's side window wouldn't roll back up. We'd never before had a problem with it. GRR!<br />

<br />
Not wanting to head into bear country without a window that closed at night, we took a different route and drove to Billings (almost two hours away) and the nearest mechanic with the right parts. Our poor, sick child laid on a couch in the waiting room for the few hours it took to fix the window. Back on the road, we soon realized we wouldn't make it to the park in time to secure one of the few camping spots. We stopped in Great Falls and got a hotel room.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The next morning, our sick child felt better and we were on the road again. We arrived in Glacier National Park and found a great spot. Despite the record-breaking heat, we managed to get our tent set up and the kids began exploring. All was well until our evening campfire. Dinner was great and we decided to make s'mores. Jeff was chopping wood to add to the fire and a large splinter broke off and flew into his leg in a freak accident. It wouldn't come out. And trust me, we tried everything--including disinfecting a pocket knife to cut it out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoyybdF8GsTQS-DQvQFMrxHQqnutgfogGa3z1NicL-kD-o3w-iNoFVpAqFGMJEkCQKmk6QI7g3FQNAJeEfaizf8owkaWuA8xkU98qNT3bj0MRi-8X9kBPt07i-UjlMLNJv_z9AvGMySSI/s1600/Minor+Surgery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoyybdF8GsTQS-DQvQFMrxHQqnutgfogGa3z1NicL-kD-o3w-iNoFVpAqFGMJEkCQKmk6QI7g3FQNAJeEfaizf8owkaWuA8xkU98qNT3bj0MRi-8X9kBPt07i-UjlMLNJv_z9AvGMySSI/s320/Minor+Surgery.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Not wanting an infection, we gave up and headed out of the park and into West Glacier a few miles away. Sadly, the medical clinic was closed for the night so we had to turn around and wait until morning. Apparently mishaps in the park are common place because there was quite the line at the one room clinic when we returned the next day. The doctor decided the only way to get the embedded wood out was to cut into Jeff's leg. He closed a curtain so we were separated from the rest of the line (not that they couldn't hear everything going on) and began the procedure. I became the doctor's assistant, handing him tools and even putting his goggles on him after he'd scrubbed up. Yes, I laughed the entire time. That's just how I am. A few stitches and a giant bandage later, we were on our way. Jeff decided to tell everyone he fought off a bear because it sounded better.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, and did I mention yet that Jeff accidentally/sort-of-on-purpose bear sprayed the kids?<br />
<br />

<br />
Sad that our trip didn't go as planned, I asked the kids on the way home what they would remember most about our trip. They didn't mention the vehicle problems, or the sickness, or the heat, or the time spent in the clinic. Nope. This is what they mentioned:<br />

<b>A</b><strong>bout MISS MATCH</strong>
Billionaire CEO Luke Ryder doesn’t want to hire his best friend, Brooke, as his matchmaker. Not when he’s been in love with her for eight years. Too bad she doesn’t see him as relationship material and is engaged to another man. If the matchmaking company she works for closes, Brooke is out of a job, and Luke is out a best friend. There will be nothing stopping her from moving to Italy with her fiancé. And Luke isn’t about to let that happen.
Brooke’s dream career may be crumbling, and she will do anything to keep Toujour in the black. Even recruit Luke, America’s favorite bachelor, as her next client. Surely his perfect smile and swollen bank account will send clients swarming to their doors. But when matching up Luke works a little too well, Brooke wonders if she’s with the right man. Maybe she should finally forget Luke’s playboy image and admit he’s changed. All Brooke has to decide is if she’s willing to risk her heart.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Excerpt from MISS MATCH</em></strong><br />
<strong><em><br /></em></strong>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brooke focused on her laptop screen. “I already filled in all the basics for you—name, age, occupation, that sort of thing. Hope you don’t mind.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Luke put a hand to his chest in mock horror. “I thought only a client could fill out this questionnaire. Isn’t that what you told me last night?”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S<em>he rolled her eyes. “I can delete it all and we can start over.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>“No, no.” He sniffed dramatically. “I can tell you’re trying to get rid of me as quickly as possible.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>And there he was—a glimpse of the old Luke. Brooke grinned. Maybe this matchmaking thing would be good for him after all. “Okay, first question. What qualities are you looking for in a partner?”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>“Oh, that’s easy. Someone hot.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>Brooke burst out laughing. “And what exactly is your definition of ‘hot?’”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>“I’m looking at it.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brooke’s laughter died. Her cheeks heated, and she looked away. “Be serious.”</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />“I am.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Luke, you can’t tell me I’m hot.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<em>Why not? It’s true.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>“Well, because . . .” </em>Because Antonio would hate it. Because I’m glad you find me attractive.<em> “Because I’m engaged.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>Luke raised an eyebrow. “Being engaged doesn’t diminish your hotness. It’s not like there’s a rule against complimenting you.” </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>"</em><em>Maybe there should be.” Her heart pounded. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><br /></em>
<em>“We don’t want to mess up our lucky number fourteen by adding another rule.”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Fourteen isn’t a lucky number.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Relax, Brooke.” Luke motioned to her laptop. “Honestly, I want someone compassionate. Someone loyal. I want a girl who cares more about others than she cares about herself. Someone who likes me for me and not for my money.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“That’s a pretty generic answer.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

After learning how to draw masterpieces such as those I've already shown, we typed up our stories using a typewriter. Yes, you read that correctly. We used typewriters. To those of you who are thinking: "You don't look more than 20 years old! How do you know what a typewriter is?" I say thanks for the flattery. For those of you who have been born in this century, just Google typewriter and you'll understand what it is. (Think prehistoric computer.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After we had our artsy masterpieces and carefully typed pages finished, we bound them together with string, cardboard, and the plastic the library uses as book covers. It must have worked because my book is still together all these years later. Of course, that might be due to the fact that the cover never gets opened.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beautiful isn't it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You're probably wondering if I learned anything important in the library-writing-class-of-which-I-can't-remember-the-technical-name. And the answer is . . . yes. I did learn something. And I've remembered it for 20+ (cough, cough) years. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've decided to share what I learned with you today, in case you are an aspiring (or inspiring) artist or author. Here's what I learned:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.......Drumroll......</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>RHONDA C. CAN MAKE HER EYES GLEAK!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yep. Weeks of attending a class and all I can remember is that one of the girls in the class could make eye juice shoot out of her eyes. And sometimes it did it on it's own and she had to stop what she was doing to wipe it off her glasses. Pretty cool, huh?</span><br />

No matter what time I go to sleep, I wake up at the same time. If I'm stressed about something, I wake up even earlier no matter how late I went to bed. I wrote this post at 5:30 in the morning, after lying awake in my bed for half an hour, wondering how early I dared run on the treadmill. (I wouldn't want my family to <i>hate</i> me. When this woman runs, it shakes the whole house.)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Angie Adams joins the powerlifting team her junior year, but
she has more in mind than just toning up—like getting closer to her crush,
football star Cory Jacob, who, as luck would have it, is assigned as her
spotting partner. When Angie’s feelings are unexpectedly returned, her life is
suddenly filled with the giddy electricity of first love. But why, then, does
Angie get a little flutter when her older and very hot boss, Brad, looks at
her?</span></span></div>

world is torn apart by her sister’s betrayal which leads to a brutal rape. Heartbroken and reeling in the aftermath,
Angie has to find an internal strength to rival her record-breaking power lifts
if she ever wants to feel worthy of<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> love again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow. What an amazing book. First of all, the author's writing is fantastic. Her characters really come alive because of her descriptions of each of them. I love reading books where I feel like I 'know' the characters. The main character's father is a potato farmer and so is mine ... maybe that's why I liked her right away. Angie, is strong--both physically and emotionally--but something completely awful still happens to her. I'm glad the author didn't portray her as weak. Bad things can happen no matter your age, race, size, etc. You'll want to cry for Angie and hug her and go back and tear out a few pages of her story so that the rape didn't happen ... but you can't. She's got friends to help her, though. (Every high school girl needs a best friend like JJ and a boyfriend like Cory!) </span></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">TC: Honorable Disgrace is your debut book. When did you start the journey of your first novel?</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SP: I began my journey into writing novels in 2008. I had written a children's PB previous to that, but always felt I was a young adult writer. Honorable Disgrace was not the first novel I wrote, but it is the first to be revised and to be published. I never intended to write Honorable Disgrace, I never wanted to say anything about what happened to me to anyone, let alone the world. But someone else had other plans and I felt compelled to tell my story through Angie.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TC: I know the feeling. When a story needs to be told, it needs to be told. Tell us something about yourself that might surprise us. (Funny, embarrassing, serious...)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SP: I can't snap. I've tried for years, but just can't seem to get it. On a rare occasion when I have wet hands I can get a passable snap. But its a skill I've never really lamented, either. Life goes merrily on just fine without my ability to snap. Though my son thinks its funny.</span></div>

Now, to a more serious topic. <span style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">Honorable Disgrace deals with a tough subject that you have experienced in real life. What made you decide to write about something so hard?</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SP: About six years ago, I began having nightmares about my attacker and my rape. I would wake in a cold sweat and be unable to go back to sleep for a long time. One time, I felt prompted to journal about it. My nightmares became fewer and fewer, until they didn't come anymore, but by that time I had realized this was not just for me. It was for everyone else who had ever been raped or had to deal with a tragedy they felt was their fault when in fact they had no control over. The only control we have is how we deal with it.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TC: Considering what you went through, that's a great attitude. I hope this book will help others dealing with rape to see that it wasn't their fault and they still have worht. What's next from author Stephanie Pitman? Are there other books in the works?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SP: I have so many projects and ideas I sometimes don't know where to start. I have a YA trilogy outlined and I am midway through the first book which deals with Mayan mythology in the heart of Montana. I have another one I started for NaNoWriMo set in Paris with reincarnation, suspense, and romance, of course. It is Paris. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My biggest problem is time.

After her surprise discovery of a mystical gift, fourteen-year-old Rose Wilson thinks her life is ruined. It turns out she comes from a long line of gifted women, and despite her protests, Rose’s mom ships her off to her grandmother’s house to spend the summer learning about her family’s well-hidden secrets. To make matters worse, Rose is expected to carry out this tradition alongside her mousy, bookworm cousin, Megan. What a waste of a summer.<br />
<br />
With some effort, Rose and Megan manage to find common ground and by the time they get home, they’re working together to adjust to their new life. But everything is turned upside down again when their families are exposed by witch hunters who call themselves The Witches’ Hammer. With killers on the loose, their tiny town isn’t safe anymore. Rose’s entire family is fragmented and forced to flee through a network of hiding places, dubbed The Witches’ Underground Railroad.<br />
<br />
<br />
As she journeys to the sea, Rose learns more and more about who she really is. The closer she gets to her destination, the more danger she encounters, until she is forced to make the ultimate decision: follow her family’s edict of non-violence and become an orphan, or save her mom's life.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here's an excerpt from Underground Rose: Was It Magic?</b></span><br />
<br />
A pool of blood already surrounded Amber's head, and she was as pale as a ghost. Her breathing was shallow and labored.<br />
<br />
Rose started parting her wet hair, little by little, trying to find the wound. Finally, after the longest minute of her life, she found it. The wide cut was right on the crown of Amber's head – how could she have missed that? – and it was bleeding fast.<br />
<br />
Fighting not to gag at the metallic smell, Rose put her hands on the slippery gash and pushed, like the lady said, but the blood just seeped through her fingers. The bleeding wasn't stopping. Was she doing it right?<br />
<br />
Feeling completely helpless, she began to sob.<br />
<br />
She didn't dare leave Amber again to go back to the phone.<br />
<br />
“I don't know what to do!” she cried out. “Help,” she croaked, knowing no one could hear. “Please help.”<br />
<br />
Suddenly, she felt something strange happening, deep inside her chest. A comforting warmth, like hot chocolate on a freezing cold day, heated her from the inside out. It spread and expanded from her chest, bubbling and tingling like a fizzy drink, growing like wild morning glory vines, covering every part of her insides.<br />
<br />
Was it coming from her heart?<br />
<br />
It grew until she felt like she couldn’t contain all that heat for one second longer. Then, when she thought she might just explode, the heat-vines raced down her arms. An effervescent mixture of blue, pink, and purple light exploded from her hands, and surrounded Amber's head like a quivering, transparent cocoon.<br />
<br />
Rose sucked in a breath and blinked in disbelief.<br />
<br />
She was frozen – afraid to move or even breathe. She stared with her mouth agape, her emerald eyes wide, as the bleeding slowed.<br />
<br />
What the heck is happening? she thought. Is this a dream?<br />
<br />
She didn't understand what she was seeing. Was it ... magic?<br />
<br />
The glimmering cocoon continued pulsating from her fingertips, surrounding Amber's head. Rose didn't dare let go, for fear of undoing this miracle.<br />
<br />
Then Amber started to stir.<br />
<br />
This was not something Rose wanted to discuss. What kind of a freak would Amber think<br />
she was? Reluctantly, she removed her hands.<br />
<br />
The vines of warmth snapped back into her, like a recoiling measuring tape. Then, the peculiar sensation was gone. No more heat. No more colors. She looked at her hands in a mixture of awe and disgust.<br />
<br />
What was that? she asked herself.<br />
<br />
She didn't know, but she was glad it was over.<br />
<br />
A few short seconds later, Amber opened her eyes. Her face so pale her freckles looked three dimensional and her icy blue eyes were even more clear than usual.<br />
<br />

Sara has been entranced by the written word for as long as
she can remember. The daughter of a school teacher, she fell in love with books
as soon as she could read them. She wrote her very first story, about a girl
who ran away and hid in her cousin’s lilac bush, when she was just eleven.
Although her stories have grown more complicated and less petulant since then,
Sara still loves to entertain kids with her words.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
When she isn’t writing, Sara has a big family to keep her
busy: a husband who is her other half, and four children who are wonderfully
individual. They live next to a beautiful lake in a tiny town with no street
lights. Sara spends lots of time taking care of little superheroes. She likes
to camp with her family, enjoys traveling, and hopes to see the Northern Lights
someday.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visiting Faythander, a fairy world, is a nasty business. Forget the fairies and unicorns, most people come back with lost memories and mental problems. Olive Kennedy knows. She's the therapist who treats patients suffering from Faythander's side effects. She may have an emotionless mother and an apathetic boyfriend, but she takes pride in her job. She's never failed to cure a client—until now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Traveling back to Faythander wasn't on Olive's to-do list. But she has no choice. The fate of both Earth and Fairy depends on her ability to stop an evil being called the Dreamthief. Saving the world, she can handle. Falling in love—not so much. Now, she'll have to decide between her heart and the future of an entire planet. As if battling the forces of evil wasn't complicated enough…</div>

ABOUT TAMARA GRANTHAM:</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tamaragrantham.com/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydreC74NRcPQ02d5RQzTjZOhAkYoMURySvNsPvQ35KSl2p4_oslVg0RPkhboaC-tmfhjIOpGddlbl245DL-tqti9M6q9Qsn-wKqqvhxf4L5vNCnzaml1aRa23YxLO-vV92UYV4i1NrP4X/s1600/Tam's%2Bauthor%2Bphoto%2B001.JPG" height="200" width="152" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tamara Grantham was born and raised in Southeast Texas. She comes from a family of writers. She took her first writing class from her uncle Larry Franklin, who worked as an author and literary agent at the time. At the age of fifteen, she received her first acceptance letter. Her uncle wrote, “Thank you for letting me read your short story, The Quest for the Spear. I enjoyed it very much, and see that you have a talent that can be developed.” In his Writing Fiction class, he challenged each of his students (which consisted of her two sisters and cousins) to write a novel. The challenge seemed daunting at the time, so daunting that she didn’t do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite her uncle’s praise, writing was not a part of her life until the age of 28, after she was married with three small children. She read a book called Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George. While she loved the novel, the thought occurred to her that she, too, had characters and stories in her head that were just as creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguzzMn6PUOCNbgSBppfMe-KuqNruhTXjbHADyA6NJHH63tb58DLiQDLUaBAaP-vo78IPoN8hTpaava1eebGilHaysVKUoiB233AdIGwj85nTtNVWw6mFG1ExrIs1ZiZ0z81ibNUC8czbu9/s1600/Forward+fae+-+Dreamthief.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguzzMn6PUOCNbgSBppfMe-KuqNruhTXjbHADyA6NJHH63tb58DLiQDLUaBAaP-vo78IPoN8hTpaava1eebGilHaysVKUoiB233AdIGwj85nTtNVWw6mFG1ExrIs1ZiZ0z81ibNUC8czbu9/s1600/Forward+fae+-+Dreamthief.png" height="169" width="200" /></a>The standing challenge from her uncle, made fourteen years earlier, finally became a reality. She wrote her first novel in one month. After that, she wrote five more books and several short stories and novellas. In 2013, she signed her first contract with former writing mentor, and New York Times-bestselling author, William Bernhardt, to contribute to his Shine series. The novellas are about young girls with unusual abilities. In November 2014, almost four years to the day that she finished her first book, she signed with Crimson Tree Publishing (the adult imprint of Clean Teen Publishing) for her novel Dreamthief.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While she’s not writing, and sometimes while she is, she raises four (soon to be five!) beautiful children, ages one to ten. She lives in Galveston, Texas with her husband and kids, one cat and one dog. Her husband David is her biggest support. For the past ten years he has been in training to become a surgeon. She frequently picks his brain for the sake of her stories, a habit she hopes he’ll forgive.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This home has been good to us. All but one of our kids learned to walk here, they've all left on their first day of school from this home, they've all learned to ride their bikes in the driveway, and they've all played in the playhouse we spent almost an entire summer building. We've all laughed, cried, hurt, and healed here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Blackadder ITC"; font-size: 18.0pt;">F</span>or
me, Christmas is 100% about Christ. It’s
in the name. And you can’t have
Christmas without the joy of music. As a
teen, I dreamed of one day making it big as a singer. That did not happen, but my love for music
and singing has not changed. Narrowing
down only twelve Christmas songs was quite difficult, as I could sing Christmas
songs for hours, until I go hoarse, but the following twelve songs reflect my most
favorite and the reasons why. And the
order has no bearing on which is the top, as that can change on any given day.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i><u>1. Away in a Manger</u><br />
</i>This was one of the first Christmas songs I remember learning as a child
and I remember lovingly swaddling my own baby doll as was the Christ child. Our
Lord and Savior came to this earth in the humblest of circumstances, as the
song states “…no crib for a bed,” and it is this reason I place this one first
on the list.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i><u>3. What Child is
This?</u></i><br />
Set to the familiar tune of Greensleeves, this is one I sing and hum throughout
the year. I recently was blessed to sing
this for members of my church Sunday, the
14<sup>th</sup> with a good friend of mine. I sang the melody, the soprano part while she
sang the alto. The arrangement was
slightly different than standard, and it was a great joy to sing it and feel
the spirit deep in my heart. You can
listen to and download this version for yourself by following this <a href="http://www.defordmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/what-child-is-this-sa-or-treble-duet.pdf" target="_blank">link</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i><u>4. Oh, Come All Ye
Faithful</u></i><br />
Meant to be sung majestically and joyfully, this hymn is in reference to verses
in Luke chapter 2. In verse 9 and 10 it
says, “And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them. . . and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” And those tidings were the birth of Christ,
an event people had been awaiting for some time. I can only imagine the joy of being a part of
that, and I am grateful I have the light of Christ in my life today.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i><i><u>6. Handel’s Dream</u></i></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a beautifully arranged piece, composed by Michael Mclean, that tells a
poignant fictional story of Handel. It
is a dream, and perhaps Handel had such a dream as his inspiration for the <i>Messiah</i>.
It is partly sang and partly narrated.
Young Handel is auditioning for the choir of angels to sing at Christ’s
birth. But he doesn’t make it. Told he has a different voice, one that will
be brought to the world in his own time, and that more orchestras and choirs
than he can now imagine will be giving voice to his feelings leaves me with
tears in my eyes every time I listen to it.
One you must hear, if you haven’t already. And if you have, give it a listen again. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><u>7. Were You There?</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Composed by Natalie Sleeth, this is a treasured song. I have sang this many times for others since
I was a teenager and played my flute as well.
With many thought provoking questions throughout. Were you there on that first Christmas night?
Were you there when the wonder foretold came to earth? Did you hear how the
choirs of angels sang? Did you see how
they bowed? Did you know if was God’s
own son, the salvation of the world begun?
Did you know it was love that was sent from above to the earth? These are but a few of the glad, powerful
messages in this song. To learn more
about this great American composer, follow this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Sleeth" target="_blank">link</a>.</div>

<i><u>8. Jingle Bells
& 9. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You have to have the classics. And
though the focal point of these songs is not the Savior, they are about Santa
Claus and what a great example of goodness was Saint Nicholas. If we all spread the goodness and cheer, the
true spirit of Christmas, like St. Nick does, the world would be a fantastically
better place to be. I believe in Santa
Claus. In the goodness and cheer and
love and service of his name.</div>

Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Latin for “glory to God in the

four full measures, for a total count of sixteen beats, with the rest less than
half that. Beautifully arranged and fun

<i><u>11. It Could Happen

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Part of Colin Raye’s Christmas CD <i>The
Gift</i>, this song has touch me from the first time I listened to it. Even during the devastation of war, this is a
retelling of the well known story during WWI when opposing sides came together
to celebrate Christmas, only returning to fight against each other after they
were ordered to. This portrays the true
meaning of Christ-like love, that men could put up their arms, share what
little they had, sing Christmas carols and bring the spirit to an otherwise
bleak time. Find the CD <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Gift-Collin-Raye/dp/B00005NNJ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1418082774&sr=1-1&keywords=collin+raye+christmas" target="_blank">here</a>. This CD also happens to be the giveaway item

Many, many versions of this song are out there.
Rearrangements, numerous singers, wonderful song. <i>Cantique
De Noel, </i>or as we know it <i>O Holy
Night</i>, was composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 and later the words were added,
written by Placide Cappeau, a wine merchant and poet who was also a professed
atheist. Over 150 years later this song is still bringing joy to those who know
Christ.</div>
