COVER REVEAL FOR RETURN TO CANTERBURY

SO EXCITED! 
I can finally share the COVER for 
RETURN TO CANTERBURY
sequel to 
THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE


TA DA!


I just love how it came out - very much in keeping with the spirit of THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE cover


RETURN TO CANTERBURY picks up the story of Jamie Reynolds, six months after his trip back in time to Canterbury in THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE. He's 13 years old now and he's on his way to visit friends for the July 4th holiday .... here's the story summary:


RETURN TO CANTERBURY

Things have settled down for thirteen-year-old Jamie Reynolds since last Christmas. That’s when he time-traveled to 1932 and wound up in the town of Canterbury, Vermont. There he met Kelly and Christopher Pennysworth, who quickly became his best friends. Back in his own time again, he misses them every day. But as the July 4th, 2008 holiday approaches, the biggest black cloud still hovering over Jamie’s life is the mystery of what happened to his dad, who has been missing for almost a year.


Little does Jamie know that he will soon reunite with Kelly and Christopher for an adventure even bigger than their last. Together they’ll uncover a secret plot that threatens to destroy Canterbury. But will they be able to stop it before it’s too late? And will Jamie finally solve the mystery of his father’s disappearance?  Return to Canterbury with us and find out!

Still looking at a mid-December release date, but in the meantime, you can enter the Goodreads Giveaway for a copy of the book. See the link off to the right. Good luck, and stay tuned for details of the release!
