Christmas Calling - Teaser Tuesday


christmascallingbest cover
Does this cover look familiar? Maybe that's because last week I featured a teaser from the first of two novellas that make up CHRISTMAS CALLING. This week I've selected my Teaser from the second story, Christmas Snow by Birdie L. Etchison. This sweet contemporary romance will put you in the Christmas spirit!

TEASER (from about Page 6):
Her mother decorated anything that stood still. The bathroom had snowflake toilet tissue; snowmen filled every corner of the house. 

Genre: Christian Romance / Fiction
Number of Pages: 156 (both novellas)
Amazon Link: Christmas Calling
More books and stories by Birdie L. Etchison: Birdie's Books

Synopsis:
Janie Montgomery leaves Seattle to escape sad memories and spend Christmas with her aunt in Spokane. On the way her car is stranded in a ditch, surrounded by a mountain of snow. EMT Greg Kincaid comes to her rescue in an SUV, like a knight in snowy armor. It is the beginning of a love story as mystifying as a white-out, as gentle as falling snow, as colorful as Christmas decorations, and as sweet as homemade cookies. Only by the grace of God can Janie and Greg weather the storms and find true love.

    1. Gigi Ann and Jenn: I smiled when I read that too. Although I don't usually read this genre, I enjoyed both the stories in this novella, especially since one was historical and the other was contemporary.

    1. I once visited a home where the proliferation of snowmen reminded me of a scene from Hitchcock's "The Birds." I almost felt threatened!

    1. Every time my granddaughter comes over, we discuss the ornaments on the tree (she's 2 1/2). I think she'd like to have Christmas stuff in every room of the house!

    1. I checked with Birdie and she doesn't know if or where one could get Christmas T.P. She had a friend who used to have it but that was yearsa ago. So maybe we'd best mark that part of the story off as fiction! Merry Christmas, everyone, and thanks again for your great comments.

    2. Thank you for your research, Colleen. It seems Christmas T.P. is a rare commodity nowadays!
