Publisher: Barbour
Cover blurb: Four letters are mailed from Monticello, a small antebellum town in Georgia. Sisters once, now heirs to a historic plantation, each young woman must come to terms with the circumstances of her birth…Will the sisters receive a traditional Christmas gift…of love?
1) How did this story come to you?
Jeanie Smith Cash developed the idea and asked me and Deb Ullrick and Jeri Odell to join her.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
We submitted a proposal to Barbour consisting of our four synopses and my first chapter, since I was the new author. Then I received my contract last September at the ACFW conference in front of 600 people! I wrote the rest of the book last November, and it is now in stores!
3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.
I took violin lessons in second grade, I have been married forty-three years, my husband is the romantic one, but I write romance stories!
4) What are you working on now and what's next for you?
I have 4 more proposals waiting at Barbour, so I hope and pray one or more of them sells, so I get to enjoy doing all of this over again! I also have a women’s fiction for which I hope to find interest from an agent and publisher.
5) Parting comments?
Thank you so much for hosting me, K. Dawn. I’m glad we can visit each other’s blogs.
6) Where can fans find you on the internet?

Glad to meet all you sister chicks on here who love Christmas stories, too!
ReplyDeleteJackie and Judy, I just write about him! But we do like to take walks and I often bounce ideas off him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't tried to play the violin since the second grade, but the intro to music has stayed with me all my life. My 3 kids and I all sing--in church or anywhere. I have a booksigning this Friday and my son is going to play his guitar in the background during my signing.
I love to read Christmas stories and this book sounds so interesting. Love the fact that incorporates the season in it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Rose, your name itself sounds as if you would write sweet romances. Christmas romance stories are among my favorites and my family has spent many vacations in the north Georgia mountains and other places around the state. I look forward to reading Christmas Belles of Georgia.
