Today I want you to meet V. J. Allison and her recent story “Sweet Child Of Mine.” She had a lot of great books, don’t get me wrong–and I’ll let her tell you about them in a minute–but this story is close to my heart because I got a chance to see the proverbial sausage making behind this excellent little tale . (Didn’t you know? Authors talk to each other about what they’re writing and share all the nuts and bolts of their works. It’s good stuff.)
Yes, this is a Christmas book, but it’s also just a great story, so buy it and read it and enjoy it as much as I did. What’s it about?
It’s Christmas Eve.
Ewan and Marti Campbell are hoping to have a quiet holiday season, their first as a married couple, and the last one before their new baby arrives.
A crisis at the real estate agency tosses a huge wrench into their plans, as does the sudden onset of Marti’s labour. As Ewan fights to get home before his child appears, more crises are flung at him. If he is to make it on time to help his wife bring their baby into the world, he’ll need a miracle…
A big one.
