Happy holidays and thanks for stopping by. I asked the question this time:
If you could get anything in the world you wanted for Christmas, what would it be?
Well, there are all the really important wishes, like peace on earth and that cancer would be eliminated and no one would ever be hungry. If I could right all the wrongs or stop the bullies, that would be excellent.
There are the silly wishes, like my house would never get dirty or my dog would stop shedding mass quantities of hair.
And there are the writer wishes. I wish that the stories I tell would inspire, would help someone through a tough time, would take someone away into another place, another time. I would like to believe that my books have a positive impact and make the world a tiny bit better. If “Hannah’s War” could give one woman the courage to run from an abusive relationship, if “Emma’s Dance” could give someone the strength to fight for love, if any of my other novels could give someone hope for happiness and true love, that would be awesome.
Oh, I write because I love it, I have to, but it would be great to believe that it makes a difference.
Merry, Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Now, let’s hop over and see what the fantastic Tracey Gee wants….

What a beautiful wish! Writing to give someone some much-needed inspiration to find a better life. May you get your wish (and I’m sure you have already… ).
