Five Books for Christmas Giving
For
Marilyn’s readers who like reading about small town California cops, Payback
is another look at about small town cops in Central California. Sierra Mountain
Village is a fictional town where things out of the ordinary happen. The mayor
is beheaded, linking a hotshot Bakersfield Sheriff’s detective with a prickly
village patrol officer in an unlikely murder investigation. Reviewers say
it is laugh out loud funny. Here’s where you can buy Payback for an exciting
way to escape the election and Holiday preparations.
Blanket of Miracles would make the perfect Christmas gift for a child. Books are gifts that keep on giving, and sharing a special book with a child gives twice, to the adult and the child. Blanket of Miracles is about family, tradition, sharing history, and most of all love. The special blanket has wrapped several generations of family in its warmth. Liv feels the love in the blanket, and even though the blanket is old and tattered, age has not destroyed the love woven into this Blanket of Miracles. It is bi-lingual, multi-cultural, intergenerational, and beautifully illustrated

I have written twelve
books, and of course, I believe all of them would be great Christmas gifts. My
latest would be especially appropriate for several groups. If your list
includes any students who are studying the missions, this provides great
background on Mission San Juan Capistrano. History buffs will enjoy the short
history of the mission as well as the surrounding town. Art lovers will enjoy
the beautiful paintings of Robert L. Schwenck. This makes a nice, small coffee
table book or just a pleasant and fast read. It’s available as an ebook in
color, too.

The
Year Without Christmas, is the perfect gift for Christmas. It addresses
several contemporary topics--police shootings, PTSD, serious illness, and
homelessness. And in the true spirit of Christmas, ends with faith and hope as
its theme and lesson.

Fallen From Grace, first of the Sheriff Sylvester
Tilghman series, would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves a clean mystery
with a bit of humor.
Blurb:
Sylvester Tilghman is the third in his family
to serve as sheriff in the small town of Arahpot, a generally peaceful place as
the 19th century winds to a close. His biggest problems are lack of a deputy
and the refusal of Lydia, his girlfriend, to marry him despite many proposals.
When Conrad Runkle, a stranger in town, is fatally stabbed, Tilghman recalls Valentine Deibert, an obese man with a wife half his age, had reacted with obvious fear in a recent encounter with the stabbing victim. When questioned, Deibert denies knowing or fearing the victim.
Runkle’s wife arrives in Arahpot and informs Tilghman her husband was in pursuit of a man who had scammed him, bankrupting his business. Suspecting a connection, Sylvester pays another visit to Deibert only to discover him dead of arsenic poisoning. Sylvester is plunged into a flurry of unusual activity and danger. And Lydia is pushing her obnoxious cousin on him as a candidate for deputy. Things continue going from bad to worse until Sylvester finally unravels the mystery.
