The Sweet Christmas Kisses box set is a collection
of holiday romances by 14 sweet romance authors. Collectively we are part of
Sweet Romance Reads. We all write what we like to call “PG romance”.
Tell
us a little about your latest or upcoming release.
My particular story is BY CHRISTMAS. It’s the fourth book in my Covington Falls Chronicles
series, inspirational romances set in a fictional Southern town. In this tale,
the heroine Noelle Robinson is a jilted bride who decides she’s going to escape
all the tea and sympathy and start over in a new city. Then her father has a
health crisis, which throws all her plans out the window. Suddenly, she’s in
charge of running her parents’ Christmas shop and organizing the town’s holiday
festivities. Michael Campbell is the brother of the man who broke Noelle’s
heart. Since her non-wedding, she and Michael have become friends. Michael
steps in to help her save Christmas. In the process they discover their own
holiday happy ending.
Have
you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own
life?
I don’t know if there is any one character based on
a real person. Sometimes they have elements of people I’ve known. Most of my
story ideas come from somewhere
Is
there a theme or message in your work that you would like readers to connect
to?
Since my books are inspirational there are themes
about faith. Many of my characters are actually pretty cynical about religious
and general so it’s interesting to take them on a spiritual journey as well as
a romantic one. I also have reoccurring themes about forgiveness and healing.
My characters also have pain in their past and that is keeping them from
creating a fulfilling life. It’s only when they learn to deal with that anger
and hurt that they are able to get the happy ending.
When
you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?
I am a singer. I sing in my church choir and worship
team. I also play flute in a community orchestra.
Is
there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that you haven’t tackled yet?
I have this persistent crazy idea that seems to want
to be a paranormal. It’s about a spoiled heiress who dies. Once she gets to
heaven she gets recruited to what’s known as the “Soul Mate Council” where it
is her job to help earthly couples find their soul mate before it’s too late.
It’s very strange but hilariously funny. Someday I might have to write it.
If
this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?
This is the fourth book in the Covington Falls Chronicles.
The previous installments are MARRY ME, ACTING UP & IMAGINE THAT.
There are quite a few returning characters from
previous books in this book. In fact, Noelle made her first appearance in MARRY
ME. My heroine in that book was Julia Richardson, a very reluctant wedding
planner. Noelle’s non-wedding was one of her many chaotic moments.
What
book are you reading now?
I am eagerly anticipating the next Kristan Higgins
book. I suppose by the time this posts I will already have devoured it. Kristan
is one of my favorite authors. She is a master at writing humor, but also
genuine, tear-jerking emotion. She can make you laugh and cry, sometimes on the
same page.
