I am so happy the holidays are here and that I have a new book,  A Christmas Miracle for Daisy releasing today!

I love Thanksgiving—the turkey and feast, the gathering of family, the big football game followed by an evening movie.  But I also love it because it kicks off my favorite four weeks of the year.   I’ve always loved the way sturdy brown, beige and orange gives way to the sparkle and shimmer of Christmas.

Most of you know I have a weakness for Christmas.  I start Christmas shopping after Labor Day and love thinking about what would make the perfect gift for each member of my family.   My kids and husband say I am terrible at receiving gifts—it’s true, I don’t know why—but I do love to give them.

Last June I flew to Seattle next to a stout older man with white hair and a beard and I thought that if Mac was with me, he wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off the man, convinced we were sitting next to Santa Claus.  The old man looked like the real thing, and by the time the plane arrived in Seattle, I had a brand new story…but it wasn’t the one I’d planned on writing for Cormac Sheenan!

I was so conflicted. I didn’t want to listen to the idea, but once the premise took hold, it wouldn’t let me go. I thought about it all summer and then when I sat down to write, Kris Krinkles kept popping up, and taking over. It’s definitely a miracle story, though, as well as a riff on the very popular film, Miracle on 34th Street.

I wrestled writing A Christmas Miracle for Daisy. It was a fierce battle, but I was committed, and determined that Daisy, Cormac, and Whitney have the happy ending they deserved. A Christmas Miracle for Daisy releases today and I hope you’ll love Kris Krinkles, my kindly old Santa, as much as I do. He’s truly a delight and made me giggle as he put tough, non-believing Cormac Sheenan in his place, while regaling four-year-old Daisy with his most inventive stories.

  2. Happy release day. I shared your image on FB and Twitter. It’s good to know someone else who starts their shopping early. My husband always makes fun of me when I start early. I had all of my shopping done before Halloween (except two gifts which are gift cards).

  30. I absolutely loved this story and I will reread it every year! I shared on fb, twitter,Pinterest and instagram.

    I think it is perfect.There is a man in Oceanside who looks like Santa and drives a red truck with Santa plates. It is pretty cool to see him out and about.

  32. Hi Jane!
    An early Merry Christmas to you and you family. I can say I am just like you when it comes to receiving gifts. I love giving then but I am not good at receiving them. I find myself a little guilty about that; as a mother I tend to put everyone else’s needs above mine. I am really looking forward to reading your new book. Count me in on your giveaway. Sorry I’m not a Facebook junkie or any other social media site so I have not shared. Thanks,Lisa
