12 Days of Christmas continues with my favorite Christmas movie and one of my favorite authors!

darcy flynn romances, joy dent, 12 days of christmas blog hopOn the Second Day of Christmas my family and I watch, It’s a Wonderful Life! Not only is it one of my all time favorite Christmas films, but it’s also one of my all time favorite movies!

I must say, it was difficult to chose only one Christmas favorite.

Christmas in Connecticut, Miracle on 34th Street, Holiday Inn, The Santa Clause, Christmas Vacation, and more recently the Nancy Meyers’ film, The Holiday, are some of my favorites, as well.

For your enjoyment I’ve posted a short clip from It’s a Wonderful Life!

Remember, your life is meaningful, there’s no one else in the world who can take your place! 🙂

“This is director Frank Capra’s classic bittersweet comedy/drama about George Bailey (James Stewart), the eternally-in-debt guiding force of a bank in the typical American small town of Bedford Falls. As the film opens, it’s Christmas Eve, 1946, and George, who has long considered himself a failure, faces financial ruin and arrest and is seriously contemplating suicide.”

Also, on this Second Day of Christmas, I want to introduce you to my friend, Jeanne Hardt! Her southern, historical romances are wonderful! Here’s her info. Enjoy!

From the Ashes of Atlanta by Jeanne Hardt

Jeanne Hardt  Ashes of Atlanta  Book Cover

After losing his Atlanta home and family to the war, Confederate soldier, Jeb Carter, somehow wakes up in a Boston hospital. Alone, desperate, and with a badly broken leg, he pretends to be mute to save himself from those he hates—Yankees.

Gwen Abbott, a student at Boston Women’s Medical College, is elated when she’s allowed to study under the guidance of a prominent doctor at Massachusetts General. While forced into a courtship with a man she can scarcely tolerate, her thoughts are consumed with their mysterious new patient. If only he could talk.

Two strangers from different worlds, joined by fate. Perhaps love can speak without words and win a war without a single shot being fired.

About the Author

After moving to Tennessee in the early 1990’s, I have fallen in love with the South and its history. I moved here from Idaho with the intent of pursuing a career in music and acting, but in 2010 discovered my true love…Writing. I am now a member of Romance Writers of America and my local chapter, Music City Romance Writers. My hope and dream is to one day have a Jeanne Hardt novel in every home. I am a lover of happy endings, but my stories are by no means, “fluff.” Life has its ups and downs, and so do my books.
