FOCUS ON BOOKS GUEST NANCY BELL with a Romantic Christmas Story--CHRISTMAS STORM #focusonbooks


FOCUS ON BOOKS--Join us every third Wednesday of the Month

Hello and welcome to FOCUS on BOOKS, the latest series sparked by my love of reading. We explore fascinating, familiar, and new worlds created by authors. Every third Wednesday, join us for a celebration of storytelling—spotlighting books, conversing with guest authors, and sharing my personal reading recommendations.  Giveaways, surprises, and games will add to the fun.

While the purpose of the series is to offer an opportunity for author friends to shout about their books, I am delighted to meet new-to-me authors and discover their books. The best part is introducing writers and sharing their stories with you!

This month I am delighted to have multi-genre and award-winning author in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, Nancy Bell, as my guest. Nancy and I are in the same publishing house, BWL Publishing. She is quite a force within BWL and I consider her my mentor to me in storytelling. 

I invited Nancy to share this Christmas story for the December blog because I loved this story and the series, A Longview Romance. I read it in 2016 and still list it as one of my favorite Christmas stories. Such warm characters and a beautiful location for a story taking place during the Christmas season.

I asked Nancy, who lives in Canada, why she wrote Christmas Storm. She replied"I wrote Christmas Storm for a couple of reasons. One is that I love Christmas and snow storms. Two, is I have a passion for animal rescue. Three, I love the Alberta prairies and ranch life. So, Christmas Storm takes place just before and during Christmas, on a ranch and of course there is a dog that needs rescuing and of course there is a good old Alberta blizzard."

CHRISTMAS STORM
Romance

BACK OF THE BOOK:

The only thing bigger than the storm in Michelle's heart is the blizzard raging across the Alberta prairie outside her window. Finding an injured stray dog is the last thing she needs. Add to the mix the handsome new vet who is taking over her beloved Doc’s practice and peace of mind is not in the picture. Cale Benjamin is too nice to be for real. Michelle is still smarting from being jilted by her high school sweetheart fiancé and not in the mood to trust any man, let alone one as drop dead gorgeous as Dr. Cale Benjamin DVM. 

The injured stray, Storm, keeps putting Michelle in Cale’s path whether she likes it or not. She is distressed to find that the handsome young vet is sliding past her carefully erected defenses and into her heart. A few well-placed nudges from Doc’s matchmaker wife, Mary, help the young doctor’s cause, but will it be enough to make the lady rancher allow him into her life

Christmas Storm won fourth place in the 2013 Oklahoma Romance Writers of America International Digital Awards in the Contemporary Novel category.

 Christmas Storm is available to purchase in kindle, paperback, and audio formats.
