Volume #4: Spring
To be released, April, 2014
Excerpt: From Volume #3, Winter
Dash moved from the couch and walked
toward Jaycee, who still stood in the doorway. Leaning forward, he cupped her
elbow in his hand, his thumb caressing her through the fabric.
"Velvet?"
She nodded, her eyes now glued to his. A
smile crept up and onto his lips; she was irresistible.
"Most beautiful Christmas elf I've
ever seen."
He felt her breath release more than
heard it. This must've been hard for her to do, this big reveal and the bigger
picture, dress up in a mall full of people, many of whom she knew.
Her fingers curved over one of the elf ears
and she pulled it off. With one ear on, she grinned. Marcus stilled from his
merriment and in fascination, sat up, "Can I try ‘em?"
"Don't break them, okay?" He
nodded as she tossed the plastic ears to him. He fit them to his own, running
from the room to look in the hall mirror.
“So, workin’ for Saint Nick, are ya?”
Jaycee’s Dad asked. “What’s your schedule?”
Jaycee padded across the carpet to stand
near the tree, taking the hat from her head and nodding. “Tomorrow at noon. Not
sure of my regular days yet. Expect I’ll find out then.”
Dash took in the picture of her with the
decorated tree behind her and the brilliant white star high above her head.
Even to him, her skirt seemed tiny on
her petite frame and when he thought of her going out in public in it, he
wanted to yank it down by the puffy trim. If he hadn’t had a girl elf
infatuation before, he expected he had one now.
Reviews/Notices/Awards:
“The innocence and intensity of their love was like
listening to a sweet song of longing that is brought to life with a fun and
lively rhythm. To watch Jaycee awaken to her feelings for Dash was pure
enjoyment peppered with giggles and infused with a soft yet meaningful sigh.”
“Just finished it today and loved it! Just as good
as the first and can't wait for the third! Just keep falling in love with the
characters more and more.”
“Absolutely love this series! the characters, the
trials, their faith in God.”

Why did you write this novel series?
I heard a song on a country radio station as I was
driving one day in the summer. That particular song caused me to create the
story in my head: Jaycee and Dash in the heat of the summer with Jaycee’s
dreams of a life outside of their small town coming between Dash’s plans for a
life with her. I wrote the story because it wouldn’t let me go and still
hasn’t.
Tell us something topical, interesting, funny, or
something we would not expect about the writing or research for this novel series.
I’ve laughed a lot writing this series and sometimes
that can be awkward, because I write a lot out in public places. I look forward
to Jaycee and Dash’s life together, which surprises me, that they’ve become
quite real. The final episode, volume 4, spring will be longer than the other
three as I tie things up.
