Trains and Tulips is Published!
IT’S HERE!!! It’s release day for Trains and Tulips: A Novel of the World War II Dutch Resistance ! After nearly five years of researching, brainstorming, planning, writing, and editing, this story is now out in the world! I’ve wanted for quite a while to publish a book around Christmastime! All of my previous books were published in the spring or summer, but I love, love, love Christmas: the decorations, the carols, making and buying gifts for my loved ones, the good food, and most of all, remembering how Light came into the world. (There are also a few Christmas scenes in the book!) And one of the reasons I chose today (December 5th) as launch day is because today is the Dutch holiday Sinterklaas, the celebration of Saint Nicholas. On Sinterklaas, the Dutch enjoy good food, family time, games, and exchanging gifts. (Celebrating Sinterklaas also comes into the book!) When I first began this book, I had no idea it would take this long to publish it, but as always, God’s timing is...
