Let me introduce you to my Christmas novella, Mistletoe & Murder. I enjoyed writing a this romantic suspense story with a Cyrano de Bergerace storyline. As a writer, I’ve always been intrigued by the story of two people falling in love through letters. When my husband and I were dating, we wrote a lot of emails back and forth—one of the modern-day equivalent of letters! My daughter, a high school senior, loves the movie, “You’ve Got Mail,” which is one of many iterations of that storyline.

In Mistletoe & Murder, the letters happened offstage, and are only referenced as part of the background of the current happenings. Here’s more about the plot of Mistletoe & Murder:

Alec Stratman comes home to Twin Oaks, Virginia, after his Army retirement to contemplate his reentry into civilian life. Instead he’s greeted with the murder of his beloved Great-Aunt Heloise.

For Isabella Montoya, the loss of Heloise Stratman Thatcher goes beyond the end of a job. Heloise had encouraged Isabella to follow her dreams and helped fund her studies. Now, accused of her mentor’s murder, Isabella is scrambling to prove her innocence.

Since his great-aunt had written glowing letters about Isabella, Alec is unwilling to believe the police’s suspicion of the former housekeeper. Instead, he works to help clear her name.

Will Isabella and Alec be able to navigate the secrets that threaten to derail their budding romance and uncover the truth about Heloise’s death before the killer strikes again?
