Merry Christmas, my AZURE reading amigos and snow globe aficionados!
Santa made a brief appearance in a snow globe in AZURE Death in the Texas Hill County.
The knick-knack was a Secret Santa gift to Linc Vittore from the book’s protagonist Maeve Clarke.
When we join her at Bytes & Beverages in Fredericksburg, she is missing her friend and regretting not saying good-bye.
“It’s a snow globe!” Maeve said. She shook the thing. “I love this!” Snow swirled wildly. “I’ve never seen a snow globe of Dallas before. Thank you! I’m going to keep it on my desk.”
“I’m glad you like it.” Linc’s smile made his eyes squinty and his laugh lines more obvious.
“And there’s Santa,” she said. The jolly ole elf zipped by in his sleigh before disappearing back into the storm. “You know,” Maeve said, “he sorta looks like you.”
“Give me that,” Linc said.
She extended the tchotchke and he took it. “Hmm. He does.”
“I told ya.”
“This way I can keep an eye on you. Make sure you’re behaving yourself.”
“Dang,” she said and they laughed.

We, although heart-broken, need not harbor such regrets since we can flip back to page one to bid this blue-eyed character farewell.

It’s come to my attention that the tartan is tricky to color. Sorry, people! I tried to incorporate the MacTavish plaid : )
It’s important to note, pictures optimized for the web are not usually great for printing. They will almost always come out grainy and pixely.
