Christmas Village

Christmas Tale Four

An update from our fourth author of the anthology, Ruth Reifsnyder:

Since she last shared her Christmas short story, Christmas Village, for Holidays in the Heartland, Ruth Reifsnyder has been delighting in family time—especially doting on her grandkids, whose laughter and antics are feeding both her heart and her creative spark. She’s also plunged into research for a memoir-history of her family, digging into archives, letters, perhaps even old photographs, trying to understand her ancestors’ lives and how they fit into the larger story of early America—hoping those threads will enrich her other book, Kalob. And because it will soon be , the holiday season, she’s gearing up to bake lots and lots of Christmas cookies for her writing buddies, scouring items for that perfect Advent wreath, gathering just the right greens, candles, and decorations. Plus not to mention she’s getting excited to take part in her first book fair on October 6th at the Canal Town Book Festival where she’ll have plenty of autographed copies for any reader who would like one. Don’t hesitate to stop in and chat with her. All in all, she’s busy, joyful, and full of anticipation.
