The Little Book That Keeps Getting Better

I can't believe it's been ten years since the 2011 release of Savanna's Gift (White Rose Publishing). Since then, my little Christmas romance has acquired a clone, of sorts, in the form of a film adaptation/screenplay (more on that to come, keep your fingers and toes crossed!)

After ten years, the rights to the Savanna's Gift ebook return to me. Because of that, and because of the changes and additions that a film adaptation naturally creates, I decided to celebrate Savanna's 10th Anniversary by updating the story to include the new content and also give the book a beautiful new face, thanks to Roseanna White Designs.

The Most Exciting News...
Because this story is getting revised and re-covered, the book not only gets a re-launch, it's also coming out in PAPERBACK!

I am, I must admit, ridiculously excited to be able to hold this darling little book in my hands!
And since it's a novella, the paperback is a sweet price ($8.99), perfect for holiday gifting. If you're not familiar with this story, it would be an especially great gift for those who love Hallmark Christmas movies.

Savanna's Gift (Revised Second Edition) will be available at both Amazon and at my website. The ebook will be available on DECEMBER 3, but the Paperback version will be available as early as October 22. Get it at Amazon, or directly from me (signed and/or personalized if you like!).

Watch for order links coming soon!


So without further adieu, here is that gorgeous new cover:



Isn't it charming?


Savanna's Gift (Revised Second Edition): A Christmas Love Story is a romantic Christmas tale of lost love and the gift of second chances, set in an elegantly adorned, rustic ski lodge in the Oregon Cascades.

While delivering her god-daughter to the ski lodge where she once worked, Savanna Holt is reminded of one special Christmas and how ambition led her to make the worst mistake of her life: breaking up with Luke Nelson.

Dropping off her best friend's child is one thing, but leaving the mountain is another. A winter storm traps Savanna at the ski lodge with the man whose heart she broke four years ago. Stunned to discover Luke never left, but worked his way up from lift operator to resort manager, Savanna sees her snowbound predicament as an opportunity, a gift from God. But Luke has worked hard to get past his hurt and intends to steer clear of the woman with the breathtaking smile who chose ambition over love.

Can Savanna convince Luke that she’s changed? And when her dream job beckons, forcing her to choose between two priceless gifts, will she sacrifice her dream, or a second chance at love?
Celebrate Savanna's 10th Anniversary by gifting yourself and a friend with paperback copies, coming soon!

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. . . .

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:

I've published five novels and 2 novellas (more about those on my website.) I've been writing all my life, but decided in 2007 to get serious about being published.

I love action movies and Jane Austen. (she’s dead, I know. I found that out when I tried to get her to endorse my novel)

They let me play Bass guitar and sing in a worship band.

I can produce 4 dozen homemade cinnamon rolls in a flash for a crowd of drooling young adults. Or publishing house editors.

I used to have a Harley. Now we have seven grandkiddos. Decent trade, really.

I am a proud Grammy. Don't even think about taking candy from my babies.

I hate shopping (Yes, I'm aware that I'm a girl)

MY ROOTS:
I've lived in Oregon all my life, spent time in Eugene (Go DUCKS!), Springfield, Reedsport, and Smith River. Which is not really a town, but a river, about 70 miles long, a tributary of the Umpqua River in southwest Oregon.

Although it's not a town, it is a community with a strong sense of pioneer history. It's cool to say you've lived there, especially if you lived there during the days when you had to take a boat to school. No joke! The old farmhouse my grandfather and my mother grew up in still stands, nestled into a narrow, pasture carpeted valley, complete with a swimmin' hole and its own 'crick'. It may turn up in one of my novels.

There's a rumor that my ancestors had a connection with the Mafia back in Sicily. I used to fantasize as a kid about a big black limo with tinted windows pulling up and whisking me away from school. Ahhh. So THAT'S why I'm having so much trouble conjugating my dangling participles now.

NOT RANDOM: I am challenged by the truth and amazed by the grace of God. And it's either in spite of or because of that grace that I hold a PhD in Learning Stuff the Hard Way.
