"Santina had Daddy issues. Her earliest memory was of a dark, cold night. She was running frantically through the house barefoot on the cool wood of the floor in her red and green flannel pajamas.
“Daddy! Daddy!” she cried out with the desperation of a small child. A feeling of panic was welling within her as she ran as fast as her little feet could through the house heading towards the back door where she sensed he was leaving. Her mother dashed behind her imploring her to stop before she hurt herself.
“Daddy!” she screamed as she reached the door and pulled it open with her little hands. A freezing gust of wind threw her back into her mother’s arms. She could hear the stamping of hooves and the snorting of the huge animals. She watched as the tremendous sleigh began to glide across the snow. It swiftly gained momentum and then lifted up. A great shadow moved across the ground as it rose up into the darkness of the sky. They watched the silhouette pass across the brightness of the moon. The snow glistened in the moonlight below.
“Daddy,” she sniffled as her mother rocked her in her protective embrace.
Then she heard her father’s voice echo in the night. “Ho! Ho! Ho!” He so loved his work."

Each of her books is very different as she dabbles with genres and chases the muse.
