Are you familiar with the Christmas carol, Love Came Down at Christmas? It was written and sung in 1895. This song plays an important part of Love Comes to Christmas. My character Gillian Everly is a very talented pianist with plans to perform on Christmas Eve. But sometimes plans go awry.
A haunted Christmas shop? Sudden, mysterious occurrences in Gillian Everly’s beloved Christmas store keep her unsettled, still she doesn’t buy into ghosts and spirits. An intruder has to be getting seemingly through locked doors. With a big Christmas Eve performance planned, she doesn’t have time for strange shenanigans.
Brett Love, a new customer, is taken by the beautiful shop owner and tries to help. He loans her a dog to keep her safe against whatever is happening in the shop. It seems the perfect solution.
The unthinkable happens when Gillian confronts the intruder, and she’s left with a maimed hand. Will she ever be able to perform again? Watching another dream die will shatter her fragile hope.
I hope everyone has the best Christmas ever!
I’m giving away a Christmas ornament to two people so leave a comment.
And don’t forget about the awesome Grand Prize Quilt to be given away!
Now, let’s play a game!
Yes, we know. It’s that time of year when we sometimes feel less kind than we should.
Re-write the sentence in red to something less naughty and more nice. For example:
NAUGHTY: “Grandma’s eggnog is too thick and chunky.”
NICE: “Isn’t it wonderful Grandma is still with us to make her eggnog?”
OUR HOUSE IS SO SMALL, IT FEELS LIKE EVERYBODY IS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.
Here’s an ornament I’m giving away but it might not be exactly the same.
All entries will be eligible for our oh-so-beautiful Grand Prize, too!
Winners announced Sunday, December 15!
(USA Winners only, please.)
In the event the piano ornament becomes unavailable, we will happily make a substitute.
