Christmas' Journey!
It's here! Please drop by Red Rose Publishing's Twelve Days of Christmas, and purchase your copy of my first holiday release.Blurb: Christmas Davis wanted to give something back to the community she loved. But, that opportunity was lost to her. Although won by another, would his ambitions allow him to help those in need?
Presley Marino knew she might say no, but she was the only person he wanted. Together, they could change things in the hometown they both loved. That part would be easy, but convincing her and his brother wouldn't.
Would they allow an uneasy history to silence a need for change, or would they force a new beginning?

Red Rose Publishing's Twelve Days of Christmas Releases
I know I've been buzzing about it for awhile now, but it's almost here! My very first holiday release!!!This short story touches my heart because it deals with a lot of what's happening today in America. Everywhere we turn, there continues to be reports of foreclosures, abandoned homes, their impact on their communities. Without the people living in those communities continuing to believe in the "American Dream," the values of the homes still standing in these affected communities would continue to fall.
In Christmas' Journey, I take a look at one woman's attempt to make a difference.

Rules for writing fiction
As written for The Guardian by PD James, novelist.
1 Increase your word power. Words are the raw material of our craft. The greater your vocabulary the more effective your writing. We who write in English are fortunate to have the richest and most versatile language in the world. Respect it.
2 Read widely and with discrimination. Bad writing is contagious.
3 Don't just plan to write – write. It is only by writing, not dreaming about it, that we develop our own style.
4 Write what you need to write, not what is currently popular or what you think will sell.
5 Open your mind to new experiences, particularly to the study of other people. Nothing that happens to a writer – however happy, however tragic – is ever wasted.
