Please welcome amazing author, Pamela Thibodeaux.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself, Pamela?
"I
am 100% panster so when I sat at the computer with one scene in mind, Keri
scrolling through her newsfeed and grumbling “bah humbug” over the ‘Christmas
in July’ propaganda, I had absolutely NO idea where the story was going or what
would happen. I was introduced to Energy Medicine a couple of years ago and
find the whole concept of healing the body – or actually the body healing
itself by correcting energy imbalance–fascinating. Along with EM, I’ve
discovered the power of positive thoughts and prayers (see: You can Heal Your
Life by Louise Hay). Add to that, my belief in the afterlife and the books
& movies affirming those beliefs, and well, this story practically wrote
itself. What is so amazing and encouraging for me is that Keri’s Christmas Wish is
the first romantic story I’ve written in its entirety since my husband passed
away in 2009. Oh, I’ve had things published that were already in the works, but
other than a couple NF pieces, it is the only thing written from start to
finish. Hopefully this means I’m in a much better place emotionally and other
books/novellas/stories are sure to follow."
Blurb:
For as long as she can remember, Keri Jackson
has despised the hype and commercialism around Christmas so much she seldom
enjoys the holiday. Will she get her wish and be free of the angst to truly
enjoy Christmas this year?
A devout Christian at heart, Jeremy Hinton, a
Psychotherapist, Life Coach, Spiritual Mentor and Energy Medicine Practitioner
has studied all of the world’s religions and homeopathic healing modalities.
But when a rare bacterial infection threatens the life of the woman he loves,
will all of his faith and training be for naught?
Find out in Keri’s Christmas Wish
Snippet: She awoke in
another dimension. Keri had no idea if she was in Heaven, but neither did she
fear Hell. Her surroundings were reminiscent of a dense forest at dusk. Shadows
danced against a sunset where brilliant colors bled from the sky. A light shone
in the distance but as she moved toward it, Keri felt as though she plowed
through molasses. Unease pricked her skin. The sound of water drew her deeper
into the woods until she stood at the base of a vast waterfall and rapids so
swift she dared not attempt to cross the river.
The light grew stronger, brighter. Beckoning.
I need to get to the light.

Best wishes, Pam.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how you can 'pants' but I admire you for it! I can attest, this is a wonderful read. Great excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThe amount of research that must have gone into this story astounds me. Sounds like a good one. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSounds like another great read, Pam!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane and Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteI've tried plotting - even loosely, Alicia...doesn't work for me. At least it didn't in the past. I might try again now though since I'm finally writing again. Thanks for stopping by!
Amazingly, Kara I didn't do a lot of research. A lot of reading as usual, LOL but the book basically took little research. Mostly about the oils. Thanks for stopping by!
Good luck and God's blessings to you ALL
