title: Candy Cane Lane: A Christmas Valley Romance (Book 2)
author:  Ann Simas 
description: Ann Simas lives in Oregon, but she is a Colorado girl at heart, having grown up in the Rocky Mountains. An avid word-lover since childhood, she penned her first fiction book in high school. The author of 15 novels and seven short stories, she particularly likes to write a mix of mystery/thriller/suspense, with a love story and paranormal or supernatural elements. In addition to being a three-time Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Finalist, Ann is also an award-winning watercolorist and budding photographer who enjoys needlework and gardening in her spare time. She is her familys genealogist and has been blessed with the opportunity to conduct first-hand research in Italy for both her writing and her family tree. The genealogy research from centurys-old documents, written in Italian, has been a supreme but gratifying and exciting challenge for her.
