This heartfelt afternoon is dedicated exclusively to Special Needs families, offering a gentle, sensory-considerate space to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.

I’ll be signing books — The Christmas Witch, Lost in Time, The Secrets of Starlight Lake, and my children’s book The Magic of Night — perfect for holiday gifting or adding a little cozy magic to your home library.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be there with smiles, sweetness, and holiday joy, and gifts will be available while supplies last. This event creates a relaxed environment where every child can feel comfortable, welcome, and seen.

🌻 Toy Drive:
A special-needs toy donation box will be available at the Pinetop location during the event. Sensory-friendly toys are especially appreciated.

This gathering means so much to our community, and I’m honored to be part of it. I can’t wait to spend a peaceful, joy-filled afternoon with you and your loved ones.

Step into the magic of the holiday season at Arizona Mountain Coffee Co. in Show Low! I’ll be there signing books from the Amberlight Valley Trilogy and The Magic of Night while Mr. and Mrs. Claus bring their North Pole cheer to families in our community.

Kids can enjoy cupcake decorating ($3 per cupcake), take photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and soak in the cozy, festive atmosphere that makes this event so special.

Whether you’re stopping by for a signed book, a holiday treat, or that unforgettable Santa moment, this morning is all about warmth, joy, and community.

✨ Toy Drive:
If you’d like to give back this season, we’ll have a toy donation box at the Show Low location for families in need. Your generosity helps bring Christmas magic to local children.

I can’t wait to see you there and share the magic of Amberlight Valley with you!
