Inspirational | Holiday

Robert Reed gave his life for his country in the early days of World War II. His sacrifice was honored when his widow and son were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. At Christmas, the final decoration Marge Reed hangs on the family’s tree is that medal. Rather than being a symbol of honor for young Jimmy Reed that shining star represents loss, pain, and suffering.

Yet a message delivered by one of Robert’s fellow soldiers and a mystery letter found in a Bible put a father’s sacrifice and faith into perspective and bring new meaning to not just the star hanging on the Christmas tree but the events of the very first Christmas. Then, when least expected, a Christmas miracle turns a final bit of holiday sadness into a joy that Jimmy has never known.

Re: The Christmas Star

I think that writers who have broad interests have a better chance of cross-genre writing. And writers tend to ask the hard questions and always want to know more and dig deeper. Shallow and hollow don't fit my idea of a great novelist. Getting a book to production does take a team of people to at least sound out your wants to see if they can stand up in the waters.

It's great that you have a very different and varied way of looking at life. It helps to keep your readers guessing as to what your next book is going to be about. The themes of your books are very fascinating, and although I have to confess that I'm not familiar with your books, I like the themes of what they're about very much, and am looking forward to reading them. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I'm a child of the WWII era, and the topics peaked my interest. It's also nice of you to stop by and offer your point of view, so that we know where you're coming from as an Author. The cover of your latest book is wonderful!! Congratulations!!

Thanks for your kind words. I have been blessed to make a living at this for
almost three decades and I appreciate folks letting me take trips all over the
place on pages in the process of arriving at this point today.

It sounds like Captain America. He was frozen from the WWII era before he is awaken. It is always interesting just to see the world through their eyes of how much changes have happened since then.

Love your except.
