Her Christmas Protector

Its always fun when someone has read one of my books, in this case Her Christmas Protector, and asks me to do an interview on the website.

"If I can't have you, no one will."

Those words from her abusive ex-husband sent Faith Delange fleeing from everything familiar. And when a bus dropped her off in the small town of Sisters, Oregon, Faith immediately found room, board and a job on an isolated ranch. But she couldn't tell her handsome new boss, Luke Campbell, what had her jumping at shadows during the joy of the holiday season—or what kept her out of his arms. She'd only put his and his frail mother's lives at stake. Faith feared her past would never let her go, but could Luke be the one to give her a future?

Special Ornaments

Here's a clue for the Craftie Ladies of Romance Christmas Caper

http://craftieladiesofromance.blogspot.com

Do you have special ornaments? Very year my in-laws send my children a new ornament. Our tree is filled with these ornaments. Here are the first two that my kids received. The teddy bear is my daughters and the raccoon is my son's.

I have kept all the boxes the ornaments have come in so when the time comes I can separate out their special ornaments for their own trees. My tree will look pretty bear but that is the way life goes. 

Whose Tree is That?

One week from today is Christmas. My tree is up, presents are wrapped and the stockings hung.
And over at the Craftie Ladies of Romance blogspot we've got a challenge for you!

Join us on December 19th and match the tree to the author (Don't worry; we'll give clues). The person who gets it right first, or closest first, by 10 p.m. Mountain Time will receive a book blast.  http://craftieladiesofromance.blogspot.com

Are you up to the challenge?
Hint: Clues will be in the comments section

A Christmas Concert

If you're in the Portland area please consider a night of celebration with the Westside High School Choir.  They are sooo good!

On Monday, December 15, Westside Christian High School will hold their annual Christmas Concert and Winter Art Show at the new school site, located at 8200 SW Pfaffle Street in Tigard, near the intersection of Hwy. 99 and 217. The art show is open for viewing beginning at 6 p.m. and the concert starts at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public. 

For more than a decade Westside's choir has consistently ranked among the top three choirs in the state and has achieved first in State a total of ten times. This past year they won their eighth consecutive State Championship title.

Under the direction of Will Fox and accompanied on the piano by Karin Chesnutt, Westside choir members will sing a broad sampling of Christmas pieces, including Lo How a Rose 'Er Blooming, Christmas Hallelujah, Tonight the Angels Sing, and some lighter music, like All I Want For Christmas Is You and Twas the Night Before Christmas. Three different choral groups will perform as well as students from Westside's guitar class.

"I can't think of a better way to get into the Christmas spirit," said Fox. "and an awesome way to celebrate the arts here at Westside."

The Winter Art Show will feature work from Westside students enrolled in three different art classes.
