Hey everyone, I’m so excited and proud to be
included in this year’s Authors’ Billboard Christmas collection. My story comes
from the Christmas Carol, Deck the Halls. It is dedicated to Marilyn Wons, a
fan who also picked Deck the Halls as her favorite Christmas carol.

Writing Deck the Hearts was an exercise in story
structure and creativity. Because my song is in the public domain, I was able
to use the verses as Chapter Names. I created 12 chapters, starting with
Chapter 1, Deck the Hall with boughs of Holly, Chapter 2, ‘Tis the Season to be
Jolly, Chapter 3, Don we now our gay apparel, etc. until I covered 12 verses.

I had no idea how I would get things to match, but
incredibly, my characters seemed to respond very well to this “strict”
dictation of what they were to do, and using those verses as suggestions, my
story leaped out from the very first scene where Holly Jolly, the heroine was
decking Gordon Gills’ mansion with boughs of holly to the last when “heedless
of the wind and weather” Holly and Gordon celebrate cozily in her cabin and
solve the family mystery.

I believe you will enjoy Holly and Gordon’s story
while they fa, la, la, la, la from hatred (or at least annoyance) to love.
