Dede Stockton loves to read and has enjoyed reading her whole life. As a child, she was a military brat and so lived all over the world. Most places did not have television, or at least not American television, and because she is an only child and there were no electronic devices in those days, she read... Anything she could get her hands on!
Dede lives in Colorado where she can enjoy all 4 seasons on any given day! She owns a home based business as a virtual assistant and loves interacting with clients all over the country. Part of the freedom of being self-employed is one of being able to pursue other dreams. Writing a book is one of those dreams and Dede hopes to be able to write many more in the coming years.

Sammi Jo and the Best Christmas Ever is the fourth book in the Sammi Jo Adventure Series by Dede Stockton. The story of Sammi Jo continues as she must come to terms with the fact that she may not be able to see everyone she loves this holiday. She knows that going back to school is important, but what is she to do when she wants to see her friends? Getting in the water in icy winter is not easy and she will have to wait until summer to meet the people of Edenlandia. But her parents surprise her with a way in which she not only can spend Christmas with her friends underwater but actually do it without freezing to death. She is in for a surprise as, along the way, she finds out that there is a lot more to the holidays than what she thought.
Short, snappy and a perfect companion for the holiday season, Sammi Jo and the Best Christmas Ever is a great stocking stuffer for children with an active imagination. Sammi is a very likable character; she is smart and very mature for her age, yet it doesn’t take away from her innocence. She is a girl who knows what she wants and she is respectful about the wishes of others. The story itself is very wholesome and incredibly detailed. Dede Stockton made sure that kids reading this easily get a good lesson out of it. This book is a great way to teach your children that holidays are special; it is the perfect time to make friends and be good to everyone around you. Entertaining and woven incredibly well together.
