Every winter, Grandma would get us out, her white vinyl snowflakes. "Just in case we don't get real snow," Grandma would say as she put us on display in all the windows of the house. But one year, Grandma left one of us out, stuck on the window all year! And oh my! The wonders we were told about when Grandma got us out again--other seasons, warm weather, swimming, ghosts and goblins, flowers, and flying wonders! And best of all, we learned about the family history.

Haunted by the voices and images of the strange beings that pulled her to safety, she hasn't forgotten their warning to "stay away." For eleven years, she has avoided the winter woods, the pond, and the darkness that lurks nearby.

Salome discovers she's a key player in a world she's tried for years to avoid. At the center of this world is the strange and beautiful Nevin, who she finds trespassing on her family's property. Cursed with dark secrets and knowledge of the creatures in the woods, he takes Salome's life in a new direction. A direction where she'll have to decide between her longtime crush, Colton, who could cure her fear of winter. Or Nevin, who, along with an appointed bodyguard, Gareth, protects her from the darkness that swirls in the snowy backdrop. An evil that, given the chance, will kill her.
Grandma’s Secret Garden was written at first for the entertainment of five granddaughters. It begins in a different parallel world. I became aware of it on a blustery night with the wind rattling the flu. I was beyond tired as my pain medication was not enough to help me rest. On this night, I met Meriah and her granddaughter, Air-y, both wind dancers. I enjoyed listening to them reminisce about Air-y’s growing-up years. That particular winter, I was privileged to many nights of listening and writing. Now I am privileged to share the first of many books.
