Hartnell's Christmas-filled, package-wrapped, fast-paced, historical-fiction chapter book, Wild Winter: Christmas, Clues, and Crooks, for readers eight and up. This is the fourth and final volume in the four book series, The 1950s Adventures of Pete and Carol Ann, inspired by cool places, dreamy decorations, and actual events from Hartnell's childhood. The author spent her grammar school years at Cherrylee School in El Monte, Southern California, home of American Legion Stadium where rock 'n' roll thrived and Christmas was celebrated with a special, all-city children's Christmas party. Hartnell is the owner of a 1937 Ford Slantback hot rod called Hawk's Ride. Its chopped-top and painted flames would have been right at home in the Legion's parking lot during the 1950s. The author was a board member of Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital in Loma Linda, California, and has authored six Luke the Lion Activity Books for them. She's written articles for the Guild's newsletter and the hospital's in-house newspaper, TODAY.

She lives with her husband in the Southwest United States and has four grown children who have blessed her with twelve grandchildrenand many great grandchildren. Ring-a-ting-ting. Hartnell desires to entertain plus encourage readers of all ages who love winter, Christmas, and the joy of the holiday season. Visit her website at: www.cahartnell.comview less
