Hi, one and all!



I’m so glad you’ve decided to stop by Icicle Falls for a visit. In addition to breathtaking scenery and quaint shops and even a chocolate factory (yum!) this little mountain town has the kind of people I think we all like to hang out with—people who dream big, work hard, and stick together when the going gets tough. I hope you’ll enjoy meeting Samantha Sterling and her family and their friends.

Icicle Falls was inspired by Leavenworth, Washington. Once a struggling town, it rebuilt itself into a charming alpine village and is now a popular destination spot for people from all over the country. Including me. Like the residents of Leavenworth, the people living in Icicle Falls have fought hard to make their town a wonderful to place to visit. If you’d like to see how it all started, you can learn more about some of my favorite town characters in my first digital novella, Welcome to Icicle Falls, which is featured in Summer in a Small Town.

And, of course, I hope you’ll want to come back for another visit this Christmas to see what happens to some of our friends when their exes turn the holidays upside down in Merry Ex-mas.

It’s never dull in a small town and I hope you’ll enjoy your visit here. And do be sure to visit with me on Facebook and Twitter and stop by my website www.sheilasplace.com. Just like in Icicle Falls, there’s always something happening there. Happy reading!
