Ruby Nelson trades her job in the laboratory
for teaching in a small girls’ school in Vermont. Twin sisters
challenge her position—and their father captivates her imagination. Will
the orchard grower graft Ruby onto his heart?
Darlene Franklin
Award-winning author and speaker Darlene Franklin has recently
returned to cowboy (and cowgirl) country--Oklahoma. The move was
prompted by her desire to be close to her son Jaran, daughter-in-law
Shelley, three beautiful granddaughters, and a long-awaited baby boy..
Her daughter Jolene has preceded her into glory.
Darlene loves music, needlework, reading and reality tv. Talia, a Lynx point Siamese cat, proudly claims Darlene as her person.
In the two years since Darlene has been writing full time, her writing career has exploded to where now she has seventeen books published/under contract. Several of those will also be repacked (Maple Notch Brides), reprinted (Beacon of Love with Thorndike Press), and put into e-book format (Lone Star Trail).
Dressed in Scarlet (from Snowbound Colorado Christmas) and A String of Murders both finaled in the Book of the Year contest sponsored by American Christian Fiction Writers.
Now that Darlene has moved away from Colorado, several books set in Colorado are coming out this year (a fact she finds amusing). All three are contemporary romances. Plainsong and Knight Music continue the story begun in her first book, Romanian Rhapsody; and First Christmas (from Christmas at Barncastle Inn) takes places in a Vermont B&B that specializes in recreating Christmases of the past.
Lone Star Trail is the first book in the Texas Trails series, written with Susan Page Davis and Vickie McDonough. Darlene is pleased to have her first "trade book" come out with Moody Publishers

My Review
An Apple for Christmas
By: Darlene Franklin
I really enjoyed this Christmas novella. I thought it was kind of neat .
Ruby Nelson is the new school teacher in town and Mac Cortland is a widower with twin
daughters. Looking for a mother for the girls. Ruby is very interested in
horticulture. So she is taking a liking to Mac. Can there be something here.?
Ruby seems to be a bit strong willed. I really liked the characters. If you like romance this one is a nice clean
novella.
