Clara Snow Synopsis:
Nearly
a year has passed since that fateful Christmas in which Clara became the Snow
Queen, and everything is about to change...
Jack
and Clara arrive at the North Pole to find it under attack by mysterious
forces, and in the fray, the unthinkable happens when Jack is kidnapped by none
other than Rosaline, the former Snow Queen. Rosaline has somehow regained her
powers, and challenges Clara to a duel to win back her title. In order to prove
herself worthy, and attempt to rescue Jack, Clara travels to Rosaline’s castle
in the South Pole with uncertainty in her heart.
But,
Rosaline isn’t the only villain on the rise. The chaotic Immortal Eclipse has
returned, with plans that no one can decipher -- plans that include Clara, and
the destruction of everything that she, and the Winter Council, hold dear.
Aided by her new friends -- Gertrude, a flying pink reindeer, and South,
North’s eccentric brother -- can Clara hope to overcome the impossible by
defeating Rosaline, and truly become not only the Snow Queen, but also herself?
The
second book in the Snowflake Triplet, Clara
Snow is a tale of wonder, hope, and of discovering the truth of who you
are.
A Note From The Author:
What is it like to write a Christmas
story? Well, I can definitely say that writing this series, beginning first
with Clara Claus, has been a journey
for me.
You never quite know how something is
going to pan out until you start it, and usually when you start something –
whether it’s writing or not – it never turns out like you thought it would.
That has definitely been the case with this series, though how it’s turning
out, and reception that I’ve gotten from it, is much more amazing than I could
have ever hoped for.
I love Christmas, and that’s why when I
sat down to write the first book Clara
Claus, I was terribly excited to be writing about my favorite time of year.
It’s one thing to watch Christmas movies, or see a parade, but writing has
always held a special place in my heart.
Writing this new, upcoming book, Clara Snow, was no different, though it
also was. It’s amazing to see how your characters grow from one book to
another, and with Clara Snow, the
second (technically) book in the series, a lot of growing takes place for the
characters, just like it would in real life. And not only that, but there are
some new characters that we will be introduced to, and some craziness that is
going to happen! All in all, I think that this next book will be an experience
for fans and newcomers alike, and that it makes a great addition to the series.
But, for those of you who are
newcomers, let me tell you a little bit about the Snowflake Triplet series…
Growing up, my favorite “Winter and/or
Christmas” character was Jack Frost, but he’s sadly not a character that you
see a lot of, so one year around Christmas I decided that I wanted to write a
Christmas story – and about my favorite character. Through much planning and
debating on what the story would be about, I finally settled on a novel
centering around Jack Frost and Santa’s Claus’ granddaughter, Clara. That novel
became Clara Claus, the story of how
Jack hates Christmas, and is about to be banished from his “job” due to it, and
how Clara changes his mind about the Holiday with her view of things; but
really more than that, it’s a story about Hope, and how that’s what Christmas is really all about. Clara Claus was followed by the novella Sugar Plum Dreams, which tells the story of the Sugar Plum Fairy,
and next year will see rise to Clara Claus, the continuation of Clara and
Jack’s story.
Jack and Clara will be going through
some trials in Clara Snow, but I
think that readers will be happy to see how they overcome them – I know that I
was! Be prepared for new faces, new places, new enemies, and the biggest
surprise that fits into a tiny box.
Best Christmas Wishes,
