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!

 

1. 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.

 

1. 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.

 

1. 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

Yukon Justice is the seventh book in the Alaska K-9 Unit series. This series is written by a variety of authors, and all can be read as standalones with no problem at all though there are definitely previous investigations mentioned from previous books in the series. I'd personally read maybe just one other book in the series, and still had no issues with this one.  

First and foremost, I just loved that this story took place on a reindeer ranch. Maybe it's the Christmas fanatic in me, but that really appealed to me from the start, even before I began reading the book. Right from page one, the story itself drew me in too... I loved the action that kept me wanting to turn the pages right through to the very end. Of course, I always enjoy a good blend of romance too and felt that this one was a good blend of the romance and the suspense. 

Overall, I thought this was a good read and one that fans of romantic suspense are sure to enjoy.
