* What is the significance of your book's title? 

It is referring to the title of the book within the stories that has a legend attached that goes like this: whoever has it during the Christmas holidays will find their true love.

* Did you find it meaningful? 

Meaningful, I'm not so sure. The concept fun and enjoyable to write about, yes. Just the idea of a Christmas kiss says romance. Romance I'm all about.  M

* What is the theme of this book? 

The theme is about being comfortable with yourself. About straightening your shoulders and believing you can do something you hadn't thought you could.

* How were these themes brought to life? 

Laurel learns to believe in others after being disappointed by people all her life. Brandon finds that beauty is more than skin deep when the right person is doing the looking.

* Tell us about your book...

Me, along with five other authors banded together to write an anthology about a small town in Tennessee called Cherry Creek. Many things are amazing about the mountain town including a legend that says a person will find their true love if they are in possession of a special book during the Christmas holidays.


My book, Once Upon a Christmas Promise, is about two people with scarred hearts who unexpectedly find each other. Laurel wants her old life back and Brandon could help her gain that, if he only would. He wants nothing to do with Laurel or her plan. Little do each of them know that only a few days together in a cabin in the snowy woods at Christmas time will change their minds about what they really want. Laurel will get her chance to prove herself to her ex-boyfriend/boss while Brandon will face his worse fear and step out into the world in order to help Laurel.
