a blue toy truck
Every child who attended the Landing Church knew what was hidden under the loose floor board in aisle four on the right hand side. When the sermon and hymns became too tedious, a child could coax the floor board up and reach in to find the small blue truck. Always fun to run along the backrest of the pew.

Open to the Skies, my new mystery, tells the story about a woman who falls in love with a church building and vows to save it from demolition. What she learns is that churches are more than stained glass and candlesticks. They are repositories of faith and community mythology. And when an older building is saved from demolition, that mythology is preserved as well.

I will be at Dog Eared Books in Oromocto (11:00 AM to 3:00 PM) on Saturday (November 15 this week) to show you my new book. Anyone who buys a copy of Open to the Skies at this book signing (and other signings in November) will have their name entered in a draw for a small blue toy truck. The winner will be announced here at janetims.com on November 30.
