Greetings!
It's dusk now, and across the park, all the houses are lit up, glowing red, green, white, and blue across the snow and coming night.
Here in my home the decorations are up and the baking has begun (oh, you're right--we're always baking).
I have carefully selected several books as gifts this year, some I've read, some not, but all of which I believe to be the kinds of stories the recipients will relish or cherish. I hope as you consider what reads to gift, that you'll select an Unbridled title or two.
And we hope for you and yours that the season will be one of joy and connection, laughter and tasty treats.
Peace.

A BEST BOOK OF 2009! 
Congratulations to C.M. Mayo for having her first novel, THE LAST PRINCE OF THE MEXICAN EMPIRE, selected as a Best Book of 2009 by Library Journal!
THE LAST PRINCE OF THE MEXICAN EMPIRE is a sweeping historical novel of
Mexico during the short, tragic, at times surreal, reign of Emperor
Maximilian and his court. Even as the American Civil War raged north of
the border, a clique of Mexican conservative exiles and clergy
convinced Louis Napoleon to invade Mexico and install the Archduke of
Austria, Maximilian von Habsburg, as Emperor. A year later, the
childless Maximilian took custody of the two year old, half-American,
Agustín de Iturbide y Green, making the toddler the Heir Presumptive.
Maximilian's reluctance to return the child to his distraught parents,
even as his empire began to fall, and the Empress Carlota descended
into madness, ignited an international scandal.

A SEQUEL TO THE SCARLET LETTER 
Wow. Recently, the buzz really grew for ANGEL &
APOSTLE by Deborah Noyes. It's a sequel to THE SCARLET LETTER
that is authentic to time and place and delivers a wallop of an ending that had reviewers raving. (Noyes
has another historical novel called CAPTIVITY due out from us
this June. More about that soon). ANGEL & APOSTLE is a perfect book club book and available in paper. "A thoroughly engaging story with an utterly stunning ending that affords the reader much to ponder."--The Chicago Tribune
"Delivers an
ending revelation that would surprise Hawthorne himself.--Publishers Weekly
