More from Dana
Up on the housetop, click, click, click, down through the chimney with good St. Nick. Does anyone know that line from the famous Christmas song? I’ve been singing it for years but only recently did I learn that the clicking is a real reindeer phenomenon. Those reindeer ankle joints make a clicking sound so they can find the rest of their herd if they are separated in a blizzard. It’s just one of the many things I learned about reindeer while researching to write Yukon Justice. In the novel, Katy has to take over running her aunt’s reindeer ranch and protect it from threats by a dangerous intruder. I had the pleasure of “Zoom” interviewing the owner of the Running Reindeer Ranch in Fairbanks, Alaska! Jane helped me learn all kinds of interesting things about reindeer. How much do you know about these critters? Take my quick three question trivia quiz to test your knowledge!
- What’s the difference between caribou and reindeer? They are the same animal but caribou are the wild variety and the domesticated version are called reindeer.
- Do males or females grow antlers? Both! Reindeer are a type of deer and the only species where the female grows antlers as well as the males.
- How come kids put out carrots for Santa’s reindeer? Good question! Carrots are not, in fact, part of a natural healthy reindeer diet. The animals don’t even have front teeth! A much better treat would be willow or birch leaves, or their favorite food…lichen, which they find by scraping the snow away from the ground with their hooves.
So how did you do? If you want to know more about these amazing creatures, snag yourself a copy of Yukon Justice!

My thoughts:
This book took me a bit more time to get into, but by the fifty percent mark I was invested. I had to see what would happen. The interesting thing with this book is that you know who the bad guy is from the beginning. I was worried that I might become bored because of that but I didn’t. I also wondered if there was someone else involved, someone closer that our characters thought they could trust but shouldn’t. I’m not telling you if I’m right not, you’ll have to read to find out.
Of course I love having the dog, Ella, being such an important part of the story as well, I love dogs.
I did find it confusing at times when the story talked about other cases. I’m assuming these come for the series but I didn’t really see how that played a role in this story and I felt pulled out at times. That would be my only complaint. Otherwise, a face-paced and good read.
Grab your copy at your local bookstore, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Christianbook.com or your favorite retailer.
