Please welcome my good friend, author Caroline Warfield. Caroline is here today to tell us about herself and what I believe is one of the best holiday stories eve written, Christmas Hope.. Here’s Caroline.

As writers we bring who we are and what we have to the page. Who is Caroline Warfield? If you read the long version of my biography you know I’ve had a few adventures in my life. Oddly, I don’t think of myself as an adventurer. I was well into adulthood before I realized what a remarkable childhood I had as an army brat. It laid travel and geography deep into my bones, and gave me a view of mankind broader and deeper than I otherwise might have had. It taught me that the world is a very small place, that strength matters but so does tolerance, and that home means a circle of people, not a place. Family is the foundation of my life and under-girding family is faith. How is all this reflected in my writing? In exotic settings, surely. I set Regency novels in places like Rome and Venice and Victorian stories as far away as China. More than that, however, the characters I create are embedded in families that give them both character and conflict, support and tension. They go on, in true romantic fashion, to create new families. Love, like family, isn’t easy, but, as I always say, love is worth the risk.

More than any book I’ve written, Christmas Hope, comes from that background. The setting comes from my travels, and I realized only after it was finished how much of my father is in the character of Harry, a soldier who does his duty year in and year out in spite of the horrors he sees, the tedium of the trenches, and the bleakness of the world around him.

Christmas Hope is a wartime story in four parts, each ending on Christmas in 1916, 17, 18, and 19. After two years at war Harry has run out of metaphors for death, synonyms for brown, and images of darkness. When he encounters the floating islands of Amiens and life in the form a widow and her little son, hope ensnares him. They support one another through three long years in a delicate thread of hope running through battles and separation. When the Great War is over, will their love be enough?

Some wars must be fought, some loves must live on hope alone, and some stories must be told. This is one of them.
