Dilya's Christmas Challenge

2018

Which leaves her plenty of time to keep her eyes and ears open behind the scenes. Facing danger as a child, and even death has taught her to be a loner—too much so her elders fear. Retired spy Miss Watson takes pride in trusting no one. But she keeps a weather eye on Dilya from her secret library in the White House’s deepest basement. Both she and Major Emily Beale, an old friend, wish to save the girl from following in either of their footprints. Little knowing that all their lives will be impacted, they set Dilya’s Christmas Challenge. Don’t miss the companion story: Emily’s Christmas Gift, a Henderson’s Ranch story.

USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestseller M. L. “Matt” Buchman started writing on a flight south from Japan to ride his bicycle across the Australian Outback. Just part of a solo around-the-world trip that ultimately launched his writing career. From the very beginning, his powerful female heroines insisted on putting character first, then a great adventure. He’s since written over 60 action-adventure thrillers and military romantic suspense novels. And just for the fun of it: 100 short stories, and a fast-growing pile of read-by-author audiobooks. Booklist says: 3x “Top 10 of the Year.” PW says: “Tom Clancy fans open to a strong female lead will clamor for more.” His fans say: “I want more now…of everything.” That his characters are even more insistent than his fans is a hoot. As a 30-year project manager with a geophysics degree who has designed and built houses, flown and jumped out of planes, and solo-sailed a 50’ ketch, he is awed by what is possible.
