"
A Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts: Stories to Warm Your Heart and Tips
to Simplify Your Holiday" is the first book I wrote. It is available on Amazon here
A Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts
This
book was a joy to write and it shines through in the words. I met my
co-authors online, three of them live in Ohio and two in Texas, and me
here in California. It contains snippets of cheer and time savers,
recipes, Scripture about the birth of Jesus, family fun ideas, and faith-filled hints. We include outdoor
activities, how to create a quiet place in a busy home by having a Santa
chair, green thumb tips for Christmas and true stories of our Christmas
firsts. One of us shares about the siblings she adopted and their first
Christmas in their new home. I share about camping in the Everglades at
Christmas.
Here is a review I read posted on Amazon; I don't know the reviewer but love what she wrote about my book:
"When
I first saw this book I thought it would be something I would read in a
few minutes. Instead I found myself lingering over the stories,
enjoying the little known Christmas facts, and promising myself that I
would try all the recipes. And yes, there are recipes. Truly a bonus.
The pages are filled with personal stories that will touch your heart,
and there are interesting facts that will have you thinking, "I never
knew that." I've always loved the song about chestnuts roasting on an
open fire, but I didn't know until I read this book that Mel Torme, who
originally sang it, also wrote the song in forty minutes during a 1945
summer heat wave. I'll remember that every time I hear the song from
now on.
This is a great book for any time of the year, and a perfect addition to any bookshelf."
This is a hardcover book with pretty illustrations on each page. If you buy a copy or already have a copy please review it on Amazon. Your reviews help.

This sounds like a great idea for a new bride and groom!

Sounds like a good book, full of Christmas stories and recipes too. It's the season to bring it up again and let us know about it.
I knew you wrote a book and I am beyond proud of you. It's a hard business to get into. Thanks for sharing this

Simply wonderful that you wrote a book, Terra. So happy for you. The girls have been wanting to write a children's book, but now they have children of their own, and it will have to come later. : ) Yours sounds charming filled with Christmas stories, which are nice to read anytime.
Wishing you peace and joy this Christmas season, my friend.
love, ~Sheri
It sounds to be the perfect book for this season (and beyond). The review is lovely and I hope that many people will find joy in this book.
This sounds really awesome!
Maybe this is a stupid question, but... will it be available for kindle? You can have pics in there, too.
It must be an awesome felling to really publish a book - congratulations!
Iris, I love your idea of it being available on Kindle, but this is published by what is called a traditional publisher (not self-published) so that is their decision. The publisher went way over the top in the attractive art work they provided on every page of this book, it is very pretty. In fact, I was stunned by the beauty of the book when I held the first copy in my hands.
