If you liked book one you will really like book two and three of the Christmas Notes series. Both books are completely outlined and the first couple of chapters of book 2 are finished hopefully it will be released next year. I have not had the time to work on it much because the plumbing and book one are keeping me so busy. I will soon post a teaser for book two right here so you get an idea of some of the drama of book two. Go to the questions and answer page to get most of your questions answered about book two.
Hear is a sneak peak inside book two.
The court room went completely silent. I turned and looked out the window. The images were blurry because my eyes started to fill with moisture. I could barely make out the snow falling lazily from the sky. I can’t believe what I just heard the judge say. Just like that it was over! After loving her for two years she no longer belonged to us. I sat down emotionally drained. These last two weeks had just been too much. I could now fully understand why Jenny couldn’t let herself come. It would have been too much for her to handle. Besides someone needed to stay at the hospital, especially with his condition worsening. Maybe I should have listened when they told me that there was no reason to fight this custody law. But I had to! I just couldn’t let go of her, not without a fight. At least this way Seanna would always know how much she meant to me and that I tried, I did everything I could. In the end, it still made no difference. I sobbed a little harder now as I thought of the nightmare that was now coming true. She was going to be taken away with that stranger.
The old women standing not twenty feet from me, just across the room, was still on her feet looking at me. There was nothing threatening about her. She was just doing what she felt to be her duty too. I’m sure she was just as bound to the law as I was. Seanna barely knew her. How was she going to take all this? I thought of where she was now. She was with our friend Robert the news of her going away with this old stranger was going to be hard for them both.
“Do you understand the decision of the court Mr. Fox,” the judge said sternly. I didn’t want to answer. What could I do? I wish my dad was here he would have tried to think of something. I put my hand inside my suit coat and pulled out the letter that I had not yet had the chance to read from him. It was heard to believe the disease took him so quickly just months before. Somehow he had managed to write some last words in letters to me before he died and now someone was sending them to me through the mail. Not even my mom had a clue who the sender was. I fumbled with the letter. I can’t believe I put off reading it and now, in this moment, I wanted to read it more than anything.
“Uh hum, Mr. Fox,” the judge cleared his throat sternly.
“Yes, I understand,” I said humbly, defeat clearly noticeable in my shaky voice. She won… the stranger was taking one of my most important blessings in this life, my daughter. I could already fill the hole in my heart that started with my dad’s death widen to the point I was sure it was going to destroy me.
The judge then slammed the mallet and said, “Then this case is closed!” ..........................
Have a Merry Christmas, and have a great year, be grateful for your blessings. Book #2 should be out by November 2012.
