Hi, my name is Kayla Lynn Waterman. I am thirty-one years old. I was born in Westfield, New York, and raised in Jamestown, New York. I am married to a wonderful husband, and he is also my best friend. We have six wonderful girls, ages five to fourteen years old. They are my life. I wouldn’t be who I am today without them. I began writing about my life through all the obstacles our family has been throughout many years. One of our daughters had been in and out of the hospital, and with all the memories and separation, it’s been built up inside. This is for me to let people know that life is never easy, but never give up as well even if you want to. I have a best friend, and she’s also my sister. Her name is Katricia Nutting. Without her bringing me up and being there for me, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

CHRISTMAS MIRACLES brings together three previously published and long out-of-print novellas, each of which demonstrates how the wonder of the season can bring together two would-be lovers or two estranged lovers and create a bond between them that will last a lifetime and beyond. In "The Wassail Bowl" an aristocrat has summoned his young son to a family house party but is disconcerted when his estranged wife and her illegitimate daughter arrive with him. When he expresses his displeasure, she picks up a large bowl of wassail from the hall table and dumps its sticky contents over his head. The only way for the story to proceed after that is up! In "The Bond Street Carolers" a gentleman who hates Christmas is appalled when his ears are assailed on fashionable Bond Street by a group of inferior carolers--until, that is, he is rooted to the spot by the pure soprano voice of a young boy soloist. As a connoisseur of music and the arts, he must have the boy to sing at one of his concerts--but the child's widowed mother will have nothing to do with what she sees as exploitation. In "Guarded by Angels" an estranged couple are separately marooned at the same cottage by a snow storm and must spend Christmas together without coming to blows. But they have a great deal of assistance from their very different guardian angels.
