Christmas
doesn’t figure in many of my stories and I’m not sure why. But one of my books
The Leo Aquarius Connection revolves around the holiday.
The nurses stare as he exits the elevator on the Pediatric
Unit. “Enter the handsome doctor.” Those are Doctor Caleb Winstone’s words as
he steps off the elevator. Though he’s embarrassed, this Leo doctor rolls with
the punches. He’s returned home to join an older doctor in the practice. Before
long he learns the new nurse manager of the unit is a woman he knows. Of all
the women in the world, she is the last one he wants to see. How can he manage
to work daily with her?
Before the day ends, he discovers his mother has decided who he should marry and the woman is quite willing. Not for him.
Suzanna Rollins is an Aquarian and now the guardian of her half-brother who was badly injured in a car accident. She takes the position as nurse manager of the Pediatric unit for several reasons. One is the move from the city re-unites her with college friends, the Grantley Gang. The other is for the excellentRehab Center .
On the day of her arrival, she encounters Caleb. What is he doing here and why? Can she work with the man she fell in and out of love with the night he offered her less than marriage? Caleb’s interest in helping her half-brother gives them more together time than they imagined.

The heroine has never had a real Christmas with tree, lights,
many presents. Nor has her younger brother. The hero’s Christmases have been
orchestrated and he will be alone this year.
Now what does that have to do with my
Christmas. I love the holiday and right now, I’m in the process of filling
eighteen stockings for my children and grandchildren. I love doing this and
finding a lot of interesting presents. I’m getting to the point in the process
of having to figure what left to find for perhaps one or two of the stockings.
Eight are done. Once the stockings are
finished. Then it’s on to decorating the tree and the house and then baking
cookies. The rush will be over before the day arrives but then there’s cooking
the dinner.
The only good thing about all this
madness is that I am managing to write a little. If I don’t see a bit of
progress every day, I lose the Christmas spirit. Five hundred words is enough
to keep me happy.
So Christmas is coming and the stockings
will be hung, actually some are sent to Florida
and the others will cluster around the tree,
