Back to Write the Darn Book in a couple of days with Part #5.
************
I know what I like to read.
It’s all about families. I’m a
sucker for romance, and old folks and an even bigger sucker for kids. When you
join those features into one story and add in a heroine you can’t help but love,
then the book is my idea of perfect entertainment.

Some of my friends tell me I’m a
softie and tend to write naive tales about people who just aren’t that way
anymore… kind and thoughtful, loving and giving. I beg to differ!! There is a
world full of ‘nice’ people out there. Folks who live every day being helpful
to others and generous with their families.

There’s one story in particular I’d
like to share. My mother-in-law, a tiny, cranky, eighty-eight-year-old woman who
has insisted on staying in her little house because she ….well she can. And the
reason this is possible is because of her neighbour. A young man, maybe in his
forties, has taken her under his wing (no pun intended) and goes there every
day, looks after all her yard work, takes her grocery shopping and even to
church. When she forces money on him, he’s terribly uncomfortable and has tried
to tell her he doesn’t expect payment. See what I mean by angels in our
midst???

My angel in this Christmas story is
an old man called Pi. I created him as close to a real person as possible
because I truly believe that we are surrounded by angels in our everyday lives.
Ordinary people who behave in extraordinary and loving ways. In many cases, both
men and women who come to ones aid without needing to be asked. I have friends
like that and I’m sure most of you do also. In fact, you’ve probably acted like
that yourself at one time or another. We all have stories to tell of the time
that we…!

So this Christmas tale is my present
to those of you who are suckers for romance and prickly little boys and loveable
seniors. For your holiday pleasure, I’ve wrapped up all these elements up in an
entertaining parcel called “Lovable
Christmas Angel”.

Hint: This would
make a perfect gift for someone special on your list who you know is sweet on those
special uplifting stories that make the season just that little bit brighter.
