The Season of Love
I grew up with five brothers and a wonderful mom and dad. My Grandma Ruby and Aunt Pat (whom I am named after as my first name is Patricia) worked hard to ensure the Christmas Season was filled with wonder and delight. We celebrated advent, Midnight Mass, and the secular part of the season with the arrival of Santa. The beautiful memories they gave all of us fill my heart with joy. Now, as a grown woman who has been blessed to travel and live in other countries, I understand the ‘Season of Love’ with a better understanding of how other traditions in different countries and other faiths celebrate holidays, each one with the theme of Love, giving, and sharing. So to all my readers, no matter how you celebrate this holiday season, may your heart be filled with Love, and you be blessed with beautiful family times.

The Texas Book Festival
The Texas Book Festival took place a few weeks ago and was a great success. Many book lovers turned out for the two-day event. I belong to the Austin chapter of the Society for Children Writers and Illustrators, and we had a table at the festival. It was great to be with other authors selling and signing books at our table.
It is always special to see how excited children become when they find a book they can’t wait to read.
