Candy Chand, author of Christmas Love, REALLY Speaks to me!


Ok, so last blog I wrote (jokingly of course) about how, metaphorically, Eric Carle spoke to me through The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So I hope this is not like The Boy Who Cried Wolf and when readers see this blog’s title they won’t believe. But...to my absolute surprise and delight I actually, REALLY, received a call from the author of Christmas Love, Candy Chand, herself. Words can't explain how excited I was...STILL AM!

Ironically, (those who have read the story will get this) I was at a school function of my son's kindergarten class when she called, so I missed her. None-the-less, she left the most delightful message and said it was 'a sweet surprise' to have seen her book in a Bookworm Basket. Luckily, she also reached out to me via email so I was able to communicate with her after all. Yay!

I am elated by her thoughtfulness to call and share her approval. I haven't been this excited in so long! (hey, it's not everyday an author calls me) What a wonderful person and what a wonderful book. For all of you bookworms out there looking for a simple, sweet and fun Christmas story, Christmas Love is perfect. It’s a wonderful book for your Christmas collection.

Looks like I got my Christmas present early. Cheers Candy, and Merry Christmas to all!
