Christmas novellas · Fiction
Welcome to Mercy Inn, a snowbound Colorado hideaway where strangers come in out of the cold and leave changed. At the center of it all are two innkeepers who love having “stragglers” at Christmas, and who just happen to be angels.
In the first book, three strangers traveling a lonesome Colorado highway are forced to take shelter from a Christmastime snowstorm. Will fear, guilt and pride win the day? Over a game of compelling questions, they begin to open up in ways they never expected. The second book brings a high school class back for its thirtieth reunion, where old loves and old hurts come with them. The third brings a final Christmas celebration, a handful of guests carrying heavy hearts and a question about who the innkeepers really are.
Each story is a Christmas novella about faith, forgiveness and second chances. A short story, Comeback, fits between Books 1 and 2.
Come for the cozy Christmas charm. Stay for the grace.
The Cricket Springs Series
Small-town fiction
Welcome to Cricket Springs, Nebraska, a small town where wide-open prairie skies meet even wider second chances.
At the center of it all is a close circle of friends: Sawyer, who runs the town flower shop and never stopped believing in home; Danielle, rebuilding her life one hard-won step at a time; Jen, whose big heart and bigger questions have a way of drawing people in; and Lori, quietly holding her family together after loss. And then there’s Carrie, who is always lending her support.
Each book in the Cricket Springs series follows one of these women, and the man who walks into her life at just the right, or most inconvenient, moment, through stories of faith, forgiveness and the kind of love that shows up after you’ve stopped looking for it.
Come for the small-town charm. Stay for the grace.
