Book: Gift of the Magpie by Zoe M. McCarthy

On the heels of that thought, "Gift of the Magpie" flashed in my brain. I thought, how could I write a winter romance named Gift of the Magpie—without the bird. And something very different than O. Henry's tale. Scenes for a story filled my mind.
About that time, I read an interview in which author David Baldacci said, "If you can take a little slice of the world and a little piece of dirt and really focus on details, you can drive large, seemingly spectacular movements." I thought a snowstorm in a place where they don't have enough snowplows to handle the roads, would limit the world. I picked Richmond, Virginia where I lived for about 30 years. The area between, and including, the hero's and heroine's houses was "a little piece of dirt." So, on that limited turf, I focused on the details and the relationship between two opposites.
Amanda and Cam's story was born in "Gift of the Magpie", a book that can lift reader's spirits at Christmas or any time of the year.
