Just released in paperback,
My Christmas Dream
Now available through Amazon.com and others
I never really expected my dream to
come true.
Yet, there I was, standing on a
ladder, organizing and cleaning shelves in my very own bookstore—well, mine,
Aubrey’s and our not-so-silent partner, her husband, Josh.
I’d dusted as high as I could reach,
until I was forced to stand on a step-ladder to get to the very top shelf.
As I reached for a box of books,
sparkling dust motes drifted slowly down from the shelf and I felt a tickling
sensation in my nose. Uh-oh. With one hand, I grabbed the dust rag I’d left on
the shelf, and held it up to my face.
I sneezed with such violence, the
overloaded box slipped from my grasp and fell to the floor. The cardboard ripped
apart and dozens of paperback books scattered across the carpet.
Startled, I pulled back abruptly
from my precarious perch on the very top of the rickety wooden ladder. As I
grabbed at air, the dust wand flew from my fingers and I found myself falling
with the ladder. But before I could hit the floor, strong arms caught me. In a
daze, I stared at the ladder, before I turned my head and gazed into the
hazel-colored eyes of the tall, dark-haired man who held me.
Books Make Great Gifts!
