AMARIS: The Moon Child
Amaris, the Moon Child is a sequel to the author's first book, Happenstance. This Christmas tale begins with the solitary life of Amaris, the twin brother of St. Nick—aka, Santa Claus. Amaris lives with his mean stepmother, the witch, on top of Mount Hermon by the Sea of Galilee.
When Amaris was twelve years old, he grew feathers. This rather odd condition allows him to fly! Since he needs to molt to grow new feathers, he must live in a very cold climate. Mount Hermon's chilly mountain air is the perfect environment and allows Amaris a place to fly in isolation from the rest of the world. Amaris fears humans as the witch convinced him all human contact is dangerous, and if he were caught, he would be eaten!
After the witch's death, Amaris discovers a handwritten note scribbled by the witch explaining how, through trickery, she stole him at birth from his natural parents and that he actually has a twin brother!
Alone, abandoned, and isolated, Amaris decides to take a chance and seek his brother, hoping a reunion will bring a sense of belonging.
This story takes the reader on a wild journey through the perilous desert, where Amaris encounters desert creatures and a little girl named Ruth. Ruth teaches Amaris not all humans are harmful and even gives him a clue on his twin brother's whereabouts.
The story is about redemption. The reader will learn through Amari's trials that although our past does affect us, it does not have to define us. We can rise above our current circumstances and find fulfillment and a place of belonging. Amaris teaches us a brighter tomorrow awaits us if we will let go of our inner fears. We just have to believe.

About the Author

Arlene Belmont was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. Arlene spent most of her young years up north. As a young teenager, her family moved to Orlando, Florida, just ahead of the theme park openings. Her father joined as a cast member, and this opportunity afforded Arlene access to the magical world of stories and dreams.
Arlene earned advance insurance degrees from the American College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and spent twenty years working for a large Fortune 500 insurance carrier. Opportunity knocked, and Arlene leaped at a chance to start her own insurance agency, serving customers in the central Florida area. Her business is now in its twenty-fifth year, and three of her four children and husband work in the family business.
She is a grandmother of six and stays young at heart by spending time with her grandchildren. Through their laughter and vision, she has learned the importance of instructing children on the joys of giving rather than receiving.
With her strong entrepreneurial spirit, she values hard work and has found creative writing to be an excellent outlet for a very active life.
Arlene hopes to earn a place in her reader’s heart by bringing a Christmas tale about two very different twin brothers, St. Nicholas—aka, Santa Claus—and his twin brother, Amaris. The twins were separated at birth, and both were raised differently—St. Nick by a loving father and Amaris by a mean-spirited witch. The twins’ upbringing causes both twins to react differently to tragic events. Yet with love and determination, the reader learns an important life lesson: our past does affect us, but it does not have to define us.
