Cover for A CHRISTMAS PROMISE

It has been a busy week due to my novel, FAMILY SECRETS published by Fire Star Press, being released and available for sale yesterday and preparing for the online release party to be held this Saturday, November 1st. But, I have another story being published I need to announce. Who can not like that kind of busy?

I wish to share the beautiful cover for my short story (15,000 words, not quite a novella, but just right for the busy holiday season coming up) titled A Christmas Promise. It is scheduled to be released on November 6th by Prairie Rose Publications.

There are some tidbits about this story:

After twenty years in the cavalry, a sergeant at Fort Laramie plans to muster out of the Army in order to go into ranching--and start a family. A new widow, grateful to have work as a housekeeper, struggles to provide Christmas gifts for her two children. An eleven year-old boy, still fiercely loyal to the dead father who neglected him while alive,endeavors to learn how to grow to be a man. A younger sister is starved for the attention and affection only a father can give. This heartwarming tale of a bleak Christmas set in 1873 Wyoming tells of the gift of second chances and a promise for a brighter future.
