In my novella Christmas Eve Wedding, Ashley Chen’s dream of a holiday wedding turns into a nightmare when the snow flies, tempers flare, and the groom and maid of honor go missing.

Amazon customer review: When I read this, I felt like I was snuggling up on the couch near Christmastime, watching a cute, romantic comedy movie with my girlfriends ! The story is just the right length – not too long, not too short. The dialogue flows naturally and its entertaining from page 1 all the way to the end. Its got everything!

My Other Books

My Children’s Book

The Five Grannies Go to the Ball was written about a dream I had. The five grannies (based on real people) have much to teach and more to learn is this fairy tale with a hint of Cinderella mixed in. Many of the illustrations are left black and white, perfect for coloring.

Amazon customer review: What a precious read! As I get older, I can relate to the youth the grannies feel in their minds. There are great lessons to be learned through this book as the older women teach the younger women. They saw the potential in each of the younger women and came alongside them to make them feel special. I am so excited that I have two of these books because one is going to my own granddaughter. The illustrations were beautifully done and captured the personalities perfectly!

My Devotional/Nonfiction

Scraps of Wisdom: All I Needed to Know I Learned in Quilting Class is dedicated to my quilting teacher who died of breast cancer. She taught me a lot about quilting, but also taught me about life and being a good Christian woman. Her lessons are presented here in this short book along with advice on applying them to our lives, both spiritually and physically. Bible verses are from the King James version.

Amazon customer review: Scraps of Wisdom by C. S. Kjar is a beautiful little book showing how lessons can be learned in the most unlikely of places – at the sewing machine. I am not a quilter but loved learning the details that go into quilting. For me the treasure was seeing how this author tied in the sewing lessons into Real Life Application Lessons and then provided Spiritual Lessons through the sharing of Bible verses to back it all up. What a treasure this book is, a gift any woman would enjoy!

Anthologies My Stories Are Included In

Tornado Alley is a collection of short stories produced by the Caprock Writers and Illustrators Alliance in 2020. The stories spin tales about the human condition when faced with natural and sometimes supernatural disasters. The anthology has many genres and even poetry.

Amazon customer review: I love short stories. They don’t take long to read and you can read one each night. These were all done under the theme of Tornado Alley. All were very creative and each story was different from all the others. Thanks for offering this book.
