I’m thrilled to be here today with you on the release day for A Southern Christmas! Working with Sinclair and Laurie on this project has been such a joy.
My novella, A Georgia Christmas, is the second story in my newest series with Tule Publishing set in the North Georgia Mountain region of Southern Appalachia in the fictional town of Moonshine, Georgia.
Merilee Bell is the town’s most popular hairdresser and salon owner. She’s a self-made sassy redhead, who insists Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s agent, Randy Slade, pay her for a haircut if he plans to park his oversized pickup in her dedicated parking space in front of her salon—he needs one anyway.
Randy’s cover story is that he’s in town applying for a job with the Moonshine Sheriff’s Department as a deputy, so he omits his real title and why he’s here. Randy is really in town investigating a group of property scammers for the GBI in Moonshine. Merilee just happens to own a garage apartment perfect for a sting operation to catch the con artists. She believes she’s helping her local sheriff’s department when she offers to help.
Randy doesn’t want to lie, but he has a duty to keep citizens safe, including Merilee. Can he do his job and still celebrate a small town southern Christmas, and maybe more with his dream girl? Sparks fly between the two as the charming town gears up for all of the holiday events leading up to Christmas.
Being part of a team writing an anthology has been such fun, especially with fellow Tule authors. Sinclair and Laurie are both so kind. We’ve shared ideas on our cover, our stories, and promotions and swag. Have you seen our tote bags?
I hope you’ll read and review A Southern Christmas, and I hope you love it!!
All the best!
