The *First* Climbing Rose Christmas Story!

I am SO excited to announce the upcoming release (*December 5th*) of "The Noel Bandit", the first Young Adult Christmas Story from The Wild Rose Press.

Two days before Christmas, seventeen year-old Melinda Kent is bound for New York when a prankster hits her home, the Lucky Lake Ranch. Soon the welcome sign reads ‘ucky ake Ranch’ and other signs have been tampered with, including the ‘adies room’, the ‘riding trai s’, and the ‘stab es’, thus dubbing the thief, "the No-L Bandit".

This crook doesn't just steal ‘L's, but the spirit of the holidays. Melinda, with the help of the stable hand, Kyle, is on a quest to find who is responsible.

If only their attraction for each other didn’t get in the way...

So mark your calendars, The Noel Bandit is sure to steal your heart, too!

Love,
Sydney
