A Merry Little Christmas-Gift Guide

I love a good Christmas story.  I seem to add one to my collection every year.  So here is my choice for my gift guide this year, Anita Higman's A Merry Little Christmas.  I hear tale that the farm in this story is much like the farm she grew up on.  I love how real life winds its way in and out of novels.  Oh and Anita says if you would like to receive a free bookmark or an autographed bookplate please let me know through the ‘contact me’ button on my site.  She would be happy to mail you one of each. Now this is coming from a very successful author, she has 31 published books to her name.  

Anita Higman grew up just next door in Oklahoma.  Now she has transplanted her roots in the Houston Texas area.  As a matter of fact two of her books, Love Finds You in Humble Texas, and Love Finds You in Humble Texas take place just outside of Houston.  Yes there is an Humble Texas.  Oh, and it is pronounced Um-ble, the H is silent.  One of Ms. Higman’s co-authored books entitled, A Tribute to Early Texas, has a foreword by Elmer Kelton a Texas legend.  There is also a monthly contest to win one of Anita's books on her web site. Just enter your name and email address....simple!

About A Merry Little Christmas:  Fall in love with this cozy story about two people from different worlds. Franny Martin is an Oklahoma farm girl who's preparing to spend the holidays alone...again. Then Charlie Landau shows up one day, all wealth and polish, and offers to buy Franny's farm. Franny has no money to speak of, but she is clever and spirited, and she's more than happy to sell the farm and move to the city. As Sinatra croons from the radio and Christmas descends upon her charming farm, Franny teaches Charlie the curious and sometimes comical ways of country life. In the process, they unearth some discoveries of the heart-that sometimes love comes when you're least ready for it. Will the holidays bring their most impossible dreams within reach?
