“A Daddy for Christmas” by Janet Dean

When Rafe Rafferty discovers he’s a father, he returns to Bountiful, Indiana, to marry the mother, only to learn she died after childbirth and her sister Tess is raising his child. Rafe falls head over heels for his daughter and for Tess Russo, a woman who doesn’t trust easily. Especially the man she thinks abandoned her sister. Can Rafe prove he’s worthy and conquer the protective walls she’s built around her heart?

The contemporary collection is at the same fantastic price and includes stories by wonderful authors Debby Giusti, Ruth Logan Herne, Tina Radcliffe, Sandra Leesmith and Missy Tippens.

Seekerville is a great place for writers to hang out and study craft and network. We also offer online night classes. Authors Myra Johnson and Dora Hiers will teach you how to create memorable, three-dimensional characters who will live in your readers’ minds long after the story ends. CREATING CHARACTERS THAT COME ALIVE  is a self-paced course, which means you do not have to show up at any particular time. If you are doing NaNoWriMo, the lessons will be waiting for you when you finish your manuscript! Class is only three weeks long, November 3-22, but jam packed with information!

I'm in Seekerville talking about my trip to Columbus, IN, looking for the house where I lived when I was born. I found a sweet little bungalow and two other fabulous houses, and better yet a family that has triggered my imagination.
