The Friendly Beasts of Faraday

by Shanna Hatfield

Several years ago, my husband and I were at a living nativity event and they cast of characters included a real, live camel. He was such a ham and just ate up the attention - and he gave me the idea for a book.
Then I started thinking about the Christmas carol "The Friendly Beasts." If you've never heard it, it's a sweet little song about the animals who were at the manger when Jesus was born. There's a donkey all shaggy and brown, a camel that's tan and black, a cow that's red and white, a sheep with a curly horn, and a dove from the rafters high.
With the idea already popping around in my head, I decided I wanted to write a series of four books featuring those animals in a modern day setting. Only finding the time to write four books to release all at once proved to be a little challenging.
So I set aside the entire month of January to write these stories. And I'm so glad I did.
These sweet romances feature matchmaking animals that are determined to help their humans find love this holiday season.
