As another Christmas came and went, I was feeling like not much was gained from my holiday experiences. Considering that this was the season that I most looked forward to every year, I was disappointed. "Numb", is how I described it in the book through Max, the main character. It is such a magical time of year, yet, there I was, feeling nothing. So, like Seanna did in the story, I too wrote something to give to others. I started writing Christmas Notes for my children in hopes of saving them from feeling the same holiday numbness when they grow up. As I wrote it, the story just came alive for me. I fell in love with Seanna, and patterned her after my own children. I added my own personal touch with Max. The beautiful Jenny is my beautiful wife, no embellishment needed. I did not however use my in-laws as an example for those in the book. My in-laws are the best.
I finished the rough draft in just one month. After my wife (who reads ten, or so novels, a month) proofread the story, she heavily encouraged me to submit it to some publishing companies, which I did. Here I am thanks to her. If it were not for her words of encouragement, none of this would have ever happened.
This first book, Christmas Notes, comes with the message that if we open our hearts to others, listen for the messages life brings us, then we will come to know what truly is important in life; love, family, and faith in knowing that no matter what life brings us, there is light and hope to guide us through it.
I hope you will find inspiration in this book and feel the true magic of Christmas. Give the gift of Christmas Notes to somebody you know who could use a little magic in their lives, and relive the joy every time you read it.
This is a three-part book series. To stay tuned, follow my Blog, or follow me on these other social networks below.
Christmas Notes Book Summery
Things have not quite gone as planned for Max Fox. After leaving his father’s company under damaging circumstances, he finally found regained pride in a new job. Now, because of the failing economy, that job is gone too. To top off the last two years, he learned that he and his wife, Jenny, are unable to have children, and their relationship has been on a decline ever since. Still, this Christmas, he and Jenny decided to bring an orphan home for the holidays.
Seanna, with her dimply smile and interesting way of communicating, just might give them the help they need to understand what is most important in life, not only for this time of the year, but also for all year long. Seanna, who was left an orphan and unable to speak due to a horrific accident, writes simple one-word notes from her favorite stories to pass out to people who are in need of a small life-changing message. Through her notes, she spreads the Christmas spirit of gratitude, hope, family, and love and helps Max to heal his relationships with his wife, parents, and humanity. While spending his days with her, Max is able to help her heal her wounds by learning the fate of her family, of the young boy who saved her from the accident, and of the wish that she wants most of all; a new family.

Book two and three are completely outlined but I have not had time to write them yet. I am hoping to get book two written by the end of January and published to come out next year but that is a high goal. We can only hope cant we. I can not tell you the names of these books yet, I have them but there is no copy-write on them yet so Shhhhh. for now.
Book two has been really hard for me to put to gather. The story line has been easy but the message hits a little to close to home. It has steered up a lot of emotion in me that I thought I had buried long ago. The message of this book is bound to hit just as hard as that in "Christmas Notes". I will be posting progress of the next two books here on my blog, facebook, twitter, and website so make sure you sign up to fallow me on one of those things.
