Gentle Reader,
It’s never too early for Christmas, right?
After far too long, it’s my absolute pleasure to announce another Christmas novel. This one is set – you guessed it – in Miramar Bay.
The Christmas Hummingbird
Ryan Eames is a policewoman and single mother dedicated most of all to her lonely, uniquely gifted son. Stretched thin by double shifts and grappling with an out-of-season coastal wildfire, Christmas cheer feels as far away as a distant carol on a winter night. Until duty draws her into the life of a stranger.
Ethan Lange is alive because Ryan reached his canyon home before the blaze. Christmas is only days away, and Ethan has lost everything. A man reckoning with a painful past, it’s not the first time he’s been forced to start over. At least now it’s in the redeeming embrace of Miramar Bay.
Forging an animal rescue operation, Ryan and Ethan first unite by their cause and the rally of a close-knit community. But it’s Ryan’s extraordinary child who draws them into something deeper and surprising. Something to be thankful for. Now with every beat of their hearts, Christmas in Miramar Bay looks to be a season of love, healing, and sweet mercies that will be remembered for a lifetime.
The Christmas Hummingbird releases October 25, but is available for pre-order now.
I’ve had a good summer writing, reading, and teaching at an Oxford and Cambridge based summer institute held in memory of C. S. Lewis.
One drag was finally catching the c-virus, which has forced a slower pace, but I’m on the mend.
Last newsletter, I introduced you to my writing partner, Jyoti. Meanwhile, Jyoti was reading at the beach and getting sunburned snorkeling over corral reef in Panama…
Two days after his return, Jyoti gave a keynote for a Swiss multinational company and people waited in line for two hours to get a copy signed of his book on business storytelling.
We’re so excited to announce our first joint thriller will be published later this year. Stay tuned for the next newsletter…
