THE BOOK
* because my writing has been on (unintentional) hiatus, and I’m diving back into my current WIP, starting the year focused on my books
THE BLURB
How much family is too much family?
Laura Garnier had warmed to her sister’s extended family in the past year, visiting South Carolina several times to get to know everyone. And, as previously offered, she was insistent on hosting this year’s extended family Christmas gathering. At her family’s mountain lodge in Connecticut.
Last year’s holiday had been chaotic enough, with hundred or so Elliott and Everett in the circle of family and friends.
But this year, Laura’s family and social circle nearly doubled the number of guests.
Laura and Elaine had been estranged for decades, and other than the dozen or so who barged in at Blue Heron Inn last year, and the handful who had joined Laura on her excursions to Covington, the Griffin family were strangers to the Elliotts and Everetts.
And now, they were thrust together in one great squirming heap, and the powers that be behind this fiasco had decided that mixing and mingling room assignments was the perfect way for distant cousins to get acquainted.
But personalities will clash and cliques will prevail, and when an unpredicted blizzard holds them all captive, will they survive? Or will the dissenters be cast out in the cold?
THE FIRST LINE
“I don’t want to room with…” Fifteen-year-old Madeline Jernigan looked at the room assignment chart. “… Brittany! I don’t even know who Brittany is!”
THE AUTHOR
“I’ve always had voices—er, stories in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!”
My stories are deep and dark, my characters raw and real, with a healthy helping of hope and joy, humor and laughter, and abiding and sustaining faith.
My characters struggle in some way for their identity. Their stories are their journey to know who God created them to be.
There is also a strong element of friends, family, and faith in all my stories, and the difference it makes to have such a support system.
- unsavory heritage series—seven generations, from Cissy to Connie, each with their own secrets, one of which is ugly and unsavory, and initiates the curse they all bear
- Seasons series—four friends, each one struggling to know the truth of just what happened when one of them plunged into the depths of the black waters of the Edisto River
- FourSquare – Four stories about four couples who also happen to be four sets of twins.

“There is freedom waiting for you on the breezes of the sky. And you ask, What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?” —Erin Hanson
