Reality-Based Romantic Fiction to Warm Your Heart
Celebrate Christmas Anytime!
Escape into the Heart of Texas where Christmas continues no matter what!
Years morph into each other, but in spite of all the ongoing challenges - so many schools and businesses still closed, undependable internet, and upheaval of almost everything previously considered “normal” - these close-knit neighbors in rural Texas continue to support each other as they choose holiday festivities that keep everyone safe, healthy and happy. The romance between Tom and Sharamey continues and another romance begins to bloom. As always, real musicians and other artists make cameo appearances.
This heartfelt contemporary reality-based romantic fictional novelette celebrates Christmas as it happens in Central Texas this year. It's a fun, short escape into the legendary music and arts culture of Austin and two tiny towns southeast of Austin, overcoming today's challenges and continuing to enjoy la dolce vita Texana.
