One of my favorite carols is "What Child
is This" because the words are so heartfelt and the music is so stirring
to the soul.
William Chatterton Dix wrote the lyrics to the
song in 1865. Dix was born in England and wrote over 40 hymns. When he was 29,
he was struck by a severe illness and confined to his bed. It was during this
time Dix wrote a poem called "The Manger Throne." From this poem, 3
stanzas were taken and set to an English tune, "Greensleeves."
Retitled, the song became "What Child is This."

The Faberge
Secret
BLURB: Elise
Goodwin finds herself face-to-face with danger when she learns the Faberge egg
she bought belongs to Russian businessman Dimitri Romanov, but is Dimitri
playing a game with Elise's heart to get his heirloom back?
Opening:
Elise was cold down to
her bones. She flicked her scarf around her neck and glanced at her friend,
Lucy Vanowen. Lucy was bundled up to the nines in a thick winter coat, a green
and gold knit cap, and Thinsulate gloves. Not even Lucy's blonde bangs peeked
out from under her cap.
"Burr..." Elise
said.
"It's freezing. You are insane," Lucy said. "It's twenty degrees out, and it's only noon." "How do you know?"
"I checked the weather app on my phone."
"Well, we're almost there."
"Let's hope they have a cappuccino bar."
