Just in time for Christmas, Scruffles Finds a Home, the latest children’s book by Barbara Ann Derksen, is the story of a field mouse who seeks shelter from the upcoming winter storms in a building that’s called Santa’s Castle. Scruffles finds herself in a race for her life from a large man in a red suit while she attempts to make friends with castle inhabitants. This delightful story will warm the hearts of children of all ages, especially if they’ve traveled to Storm Lake and visited Santa’s Castle. However the story is fun and interesting to all who like a good warm Christmas novel.

With a plethora of writing under her belt and a variety of genres, Barbara Ann Derksen receives encouragement from 4 and 5 star reviews, the eager anticipation by readers for the next book, and a new reader discovering her existence.
Born in Canada, Barbara lived in the US for 12 years. There her writing surfaced as she worked under contract as a journalist for six years with over 2500 articles published in newspapers and magazines during that time. She began attending Colorado Christian Writer’s Conferences and each year, under the tutelage of great Christian writer’s like James Scott Bell, Angela Hunt, and others, she honed her skills and then published her first book in 2003.
With 19 books to her credit, one currently inactive and awaiting revision, each one surpasses the last, according to her readers. The new series has given them something to think about as she delves into the world of sex trafficking and pedophilia. Each book has its own message and seeks to instill in the reader a sense of purpose as it is lived out in the lives of the characters.
