 Christmas at Miller & Rhoads: Memoirs of a Snow Queen

I am proud to introduce my new book, Christmas at Miller & Rhoads: Memoirs of a  Snow Queen, which is scheduled to be launched November 1, 2009, just in time for Christmas! Published by The History Press, Charleston, SC., this is a collection of heart-warming and humorous stories, plus over 80 wonderful photos and illustrations, focusing on my twenty years as a Snow Queen at the former downtown Miller & Rhoads Department Store.  This is where everyone would go to visit "the real Santa!" Hopefully, my "warm and fuzzy" stories of working at the store with our very famous Santa will transport everyone back to the beautiful days of Miller & Rhoads, to once again experience, "the magic."  Contact me directly to receive more information regarding ordering the book, (and also "art prints" from the book), (donnadeekens@verizon.net) and if perhaps you are interested in my doing a "book signing" at a retail location or other seasonal event!  Books will be available in various bookstores throughout the metro Richmond area and other Virginia and North Carolina locations. 

MSRP: $16.99

Christmas at Miller & Rhoads: Memoirs of a Snow Queen has some wonderful art prints as a special part of the book.  We are happy to offer information if you are interested in ordering copies of the prints which appear in the book.
