Holidays in the Heartland

Ohio Christmas Tales

A Timeless Christmas

*********

There’s no doubt that my life is very busy, especially in the fall season. I write mysteries, have a new children’s picture book recently released with a traditional publisher (Headline Books), opened a castle-themed AirBnB in June and am on the Canal Town Book Festival Committee, not to mention attending multiple book events and giving presentations. But, contributing to anthologies, such as Holidays in the Heartland holds a special place in my heart. Multiple authors writing in different genres coming together to produce a quality holiday anthology is quite a special thing!

I’m also a mental health therapist with over 35 years of experience, thankfully working part time now to give me a little time for all I’ve listed in the previous paragraph.

Right now, I’m working on publishing a mystery novella set in Hower House, a beautiful mansion in Akron, Ohio, finish and publish my 5th mystery collection, Mysterious Tales of the Unexplained, Volume 5, and making several presentations and attending book festivals, featuring book 1 in my children’s mindfulness-building picture book series, It’s Okay to have Feelings: A Peyton’s Palace Adventure.

Things I love about the Christmas Season are special recipes my family only makes during the holidays, baking cookies, wrapping presents, decorating with lights, lights, and more lights, cuddling up with a soft blanket and a book while sipping hot chocolate with more whipped cream than anyone has ever seen, Christmas music, and most importantly, spending time with loved ones making special memories as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
