Now on to the fun stuff! Let me introduce you to my Christmas novella, Mistletoe & Murder. I enjoyed writing a tighter romantic suspense story with a Cyrano de Bergerace storyline. Alec Stratman, recently retired from a decade in the Army, comes home for the funeral of his beloved Great-Aunt Heloise only to find out she’s been murdered.
As a second-generation emigrant, Isabella has to contend the loss of her employer and mentor but also the suspicion of the police and relatives who see her as a schemer out for Heloise’s money. Little does Isabella know that Alec was the man behind the words her former fiance—and Alec’s Army superior—used to woo her during a deployment.
With a houseful of scheming relatives, Alec has little time to confess his duplicity to Heloise’s housekeeper, Isabella Montoya. Alec and Isabella have to navigate the secrets that threaten to derail their budding romance while searching for the truth about Heloise’s death.
I’ve always enjoyed writing modern versions of older stories, such as having an O’Henry twist in my Christmas short story, “Christmas, Cold & Gray,” which readers can get for free when signing up for my newsletter.
Now, it’s time to continue the scavenger hunt! Go to the book on Amazon at this link. What kind of sandwiches does Isabella serve? When you have the answer, fill out this form and head on to the next blog!
