So, every Saturday through early-mid Jan., I'll be sharing great Christmas books with you, beginning with my very own, Keri's Christmas Wish.
Controversy and Inconsistencies are thieves of holiday joy for
Keri...is there any hope for a happy holiday season?
For as long as she can remember, Keri Jackson has despised the
hype and commercialism around Christmas—especially with the controversy over
the time of Jesus’s birth. Will she get her wish and be free of the angst to
truly enjoy Christmas this year?
Jeremy Hinton thinks Keri is a highly intelligent, deeply
emotional, and intensely complex woman and he’s as fascinated by her aversion
to Christmas as he is of the woman herself. A devout Christian at heart, he’s
studied all of the world’s religions and homeopathic healing modalities. But
when a rare bacterial infection threatens her life, will all of his faith and
training be for naught?
Fans of near death experiences will enjoy this woman’s mystical journey into spiritual Truth.
Excerpt: She awoke in another dimension.
Keri had no idea if she was in Heaven, but neither did she fear Hell. Her
surroundings were reminiscent of a dense forest at dusk. Shadows danced against
a sunset where brilliant colors bled from the sky. A light shone in the
distance but as she moved toward it, Keri felt as though she plowed through
molasses. Unease pricked her skin. The sound of water drew her deeper into the
woods until she stood at the base of a vast waterfall and rapids so swift she
dared not attempt to cross the river.
The light grew stronger, brighter. Beckoning.
I need to get to the light.

I am 100% panster so when I sat at the computer with one scene in mind, Keri scrolling through her newsfeed and grumbling “bah humbug” over the ‘Christmas in July’ propaganda, I had absolutely NO idea where the story was going or what would happen.
I was introduced to Energy Medicine a several years ago and find the whole concept of healing the body – or actually the body healing itself by correcting energy imbalance–fascinating. Along with EM, I’ve discovered the power of positive thoughts and prayers (see: You can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay). Add to that, my belief in the afterlife and the books & movies affirming those beliefs, and well, this story practically wrote itself.
What is still amazing for me is that Keri’s Christmas Wish (published in 2016) was the first romantic story I wrote in its entirety after my husband passed away in 2009. Oh, I had things published that were already in the works, but other than a couple NF pieces, it was the first thing written from start to finish.
Thankfully, I’m in a much better place emotionally and other books/novellas/stories have and will continue to follow.
