I'm
an optimist whose rose-colored glasses have bent frames and cracked lenses.
When life kicks me in the teeth, I find miracles and lessons I refused to learn
an easier way. In fact, I live with a small herd of miracles in the furry forms
of dogs, who are constantly trying to teach me to forgive, to play more, and to
love without limits. I write about people who find courage and integrity in the
darkest times of their lives, who rescue stray dogs and kittens, who find a
person they would willingly give their lives for, and who make their little corners
of the world a better place. People have remarked my stories "aren't what
they expected." With rose-colored glasses firmly in place, I take that as
a compliment. I invite you to share a piece of my world in the pages of a book,
and hope you find some surprises, some tears, some laughter, and always a happy
ending.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A child psychiatrist running from violence and
a former bodyguard grieving the wife he couldn't save form an unlikely alliance
to rescue her kidnapped children. In a crumbling mine tunnel on Christmas Eve,
their lives depend on a mutt rescued from the streets, a determined mother and
an Unlikely Angel.
AN EXCERPT
Two weeks before Christmas, Mitch
decided he had waited long enough.
“Come on, mutt.” Mitch grabbed his coat
and a pair of work gloves. “Let’s go find the twins.”
Gabe bounded to his feet and bumped the
doorknob with his nose. He sniffed and marked around the yard while Mitch
pulled the Ferrari out of the garage. As soon as the dog jumped into the car,
Mitch drove to a lot selling Christmas trees. He selected one that would fit
nicely in Julia’s small apartment and strapped it to the top of the car.
The mutt hung his head out the window,
riding in silent watchfulness until the apartment building was in sight.
“Woof!”
“You have to be quiet or we’ll get
caught smuggling you in.” Under cover of the falling twilight and a bushy
evergreen tree, Mitch and the dog walked quickly toward Julia’s apartment.
As soon as Julia opened the door, the
dog pushed inside and sniffed out the twins, quickly falling back into their
game of hide and seek. Within seconds, the twins’ giggles let Julia know the
dog had found the children.
“I brought a tree.” Mitch stood the
evergreen upright.
“I see that.” Julia bit her lip as she
walked around the tree. “Nice choice. Bushy all around.”
“I had three picky sisters who trained
me in the fine art of Christmas tree selection.”
Julia smiled. “They trained you well.”
