Interview with the authors of
A Christmas Romance Collection:
Six heart-warming holiday romances
Alexis: Why did each of you write your story to be part of this Christmas Weddings collection? Share the title of your holiday story or stories (for those of you who wrote two stories for this book) and share the plot of each story in two or three sentences.
Kimberly Rose Johnson: Island Christmas is part of a series set on an island in the Puget Sound. I brought back one of the original characters and to allow readers to get to know her better. Though I didn’t set out to write a salvation story, in the end there is a beautiful one included in this book.
A Christmas Homecoming is also a part of a series. This one takes place in one of my favorite places: Sunriver, Oregon. The story has some mystery woven in but ultimately it’s a sweet Christian love story. Here’s the tagline: Can the mystery of Christmas unite two hurting hearts? It really sums up the premise.
Angela Ruth Strong: Finding Love in Big Sky is written as a sequel to my debut novel Finding Love in Sun Valley, which had been optioned for film. I wanted to get more work in front of the movie producer, and I knew that she was looking for Christmas stories on a ranch, so I wrote one. I didn’t know much about horses going in, so I had to go visit a friend’s farm as research. The book is currently in development for film.
A Caffeine Conundrum was also written because this producer wanted a mystery set in a tea house or coffee shop, so I gave her both. My heroines both want to buy the same shop, but one wants to serve coffee while the other wants to serve tea. The owner dies before deciding who to sell it to, and they both become suspects. Of course, it’s set during the holidays and they both have love interests, which makes the mystery both festive and romantic.
Vickie McDonough: The Fruitcake Scandal started as a “what-if” story. What if a young pastor sent home for his bride-to-be, and when she arrived, she had trouble fitting in with the ladies of his church? I thought it would be an interesting premise and allow for some uncomfortable situations for both the hero and heroine—situations that would be fun for a reader.
Miralee Ferrell: The Nativity Bride was originally written for a novella collection of 12 different Christmas books bound into one printed volume, released by Barbour. I had such fun with this book, as I was able to go on and write a short sequel (different characters, same location/time period) for another novella collection with the same authors, a year later. I now have the rights to both books back, and this was a perfect fit for this collection. It’s also the only Christmas book I’ve ever written!

Alexis: What was your inspiration for your main characters? Describe the hero and heroine’s looks, personality and heart. Angela and Kimberly: Please answer this question for both of your stories featured in this book.
Kimberly: In Island Christmas, Rachel is a twenty-six-year-old windowed mother of a little boy. She has returned to the island after going to culinary school and is excited to follow in the footsteps of someone she greatly admires. Being a good mom and providing for her son is her top priority.Chris, mid-thirties, has brown hair that tickles his collar, blue eyes, and black-rimmed glasses. He is a workaholic who needs to take a break before he has a heart attack. He is on the island for some much needed R&R. He is a driven and successful man with a strong faith in Christ.
In A Christmas Homecoming, Bailey wears glasses that are a bit too big for her face. She has long, kinky hair and stands at five foot seven. She has a caring and sweet disposition and is a people pleaser. She has a wound that runs deep and greatly affects her self-image. Stephen is tall with blue eyes and broad shoulders. He is caring, loyal, and an awesome uncle to his niece and nephew.
Angela: In Finding Love in Big Sky, Paisley is a cowgirl through and through. She’s got long, dark hair and doesn’t wear much makeup except for the lip gloss that keeps her lips from drying out. Josh is the handsome city guy who makes a fool of himself on her farm and eventually ends up in overalls.
In A Caffeine Conundrum, Tandy and Marissa are total opposites. I patterned them after Jo and Blair in The Facts of Life. Their love interests also help balance them out. Beauty queen Tandy falls for the contractor who drives a truck, and biker chick Tandy reconnects with her childhood friend when he arrives at the jail to represent her as her lawyer.
Vickie: The Fruitcake Scandal is what’s called a “fish out of water” story. Karen, the heroine, has landed in a place unfamiliar to her. She has honey-brown hair and brown eyes. She’s a kind-hearted woman who has left her hometown to come to a new place where her fiancé is the new town minister. She’s a bit apprehensive about meeting so many people at once, but she’s excited to be reunited with the man she loves. Clay Parsons is a bit concerned the big move will cause Karen to change her mind, but he puts his faith in God and trusts him to work everything out.
When the church ladies get upset with Karen, his faith is sorely tested.
~*~
Alexis: Paint a picture with words of your story’s setting. What makes it special to your hero and heroine? Angela and Kimberly: Please answer this question for both of your stories featured in this book.
Kimberly: Island Christmas is set on a picturesque island on the Puget Sound. Imagine a small island without much commerce and the only way on or off is via a small ferry. Most of the island is undeveloped and wooded. It feels even smaller than a small town.
A Christmas Homecoming is set near and in Sunriver Oregon, a resort community in the high dessert. The trees are pine and very tall. In the summer it smells like baked pine needles. The resort isn’t basically a small town, with all the amenities a town needs. They have a village for shopping and recreation that is quite popular and my characters spend time there too.
Angela: In Big Sky, the setting is everything. The ranch in the ski resort town is what brings Josh and Paisley together. She inherited it from her grandfather, so her Norwegian heritage plays a part from the kind of horses she rides to the kind of ornaments she hangs on her tree.
In A Caffeine Conundrum, the small town of Grace Springs was even named after the message of grace in my story. It’s also on the river in Ohio, which is important because they go on a Riverboat cruise. When I was facing writer’s block with this one, I tried to get my husband to take a day trip (10 hours round trip) to the Columbia Gorge in Oregon to go for a cruise on the Sternwheeler, but, lucky for him, they were shut down that time of year.
Vickie: Bakerstown, Missouri, is the fictional setting for The Fruitcake Bride. It’s a typical small town with about a dozen streets—a place where everyone knows each other and knows everyone else’s business. Clay, my hero, has only been pastor at the church for a few months and is still getting to know people. Bakerstown is special to him because this is his first church to pastor. He wants to make a good impression and also meet the needs of the townsfolk, and he is eager to finally wed his fiancée.
Miralee: My story takes place in the late 1800s in a little valley in WA state. It’s actually only about an hour drive from my home, and a place I’ve visited many times over the years, when we purchased hay from farmers there. It’s contains a lovely small town (still small even now) and a wide valley of farms and ranches with a breathtaking view of Mt. Adams in the near distance. The perfect setting for a historical romance!
~*~
Alexis: What is the main conflict in your story? Angela and Kimberly: Please answer this question for both of your stories featured in this book.
Kimberly: In Island Christmas the major conflict between the characters is that Rachel doesn’t believe in God. This poses a big issue for Chris who is determined to be with a woman who believes the same way as him. There are other issues to, but this one stands out the strongest to me.
In A Christmas Homecoming there is quite a bit of tension between the main characters. Bailey does her best to please her boss but it’s never good enough. Stephen is caught in the middle of his mother who wants to fire Bailey and his desire to keep her around because of his growing attraction toward her and he doesn’t think Bailey deserves to be fired.
Angela: In Big Sky, Paisley wrestles with worth, and Josh unknowingly added to her feeling worthless when they were teens. I’m really trying not to give away too much backstory here, but there was a Cinderella type kiss that affected them both greatly, and they think they want different things.
In A Caffeine Conundrum, they both want to buy the shop and not go to jail, so they join forces to prove themselves innocent of murder while still being enemies in every other way.
Vickie: Clay is the new pastor in Bakerstown and is still finding his way and trying to make a good impression. Then his fiancée arrives, stirring up the young women who were aiming their bonnets for Clay. Also, some of the busy-body ladies take a disliking to Karen. She tries so hard to fit in that she makes mistakes along the way and begins to wonder if she’s the right woman for Clay.
Miralee: The conflict is more between the hero and his father. Curt left home years ago over a disagreement with his father that couldn’t be resolved. He left his sweetheart behind with the promise he’d return, but it was years before he finally came home. She waited for him, but much has changed, and his father’s disapproval is still a very big issue. He must somehow find a way to reconcile with both to save the relationships he needs in his life.
~*~
Alexis: Did you play Christmas music while writing this story or stories? If so, which song was your favorite and how did it inspire your storytelling?
Kimberly: I generally don’t play any music when I write. I find it distracting. I’m a musician and either end up counting the beats in my head if there are no words, or singing along in my mind if there are, which not conducive to writing at all since I can no longer hear myself think.
Angela: Always. I listen to the songs I imagine my characters listening to during a scene. The lyrics inspire jokes. I love to joke, but it has to be relevant to the setting and the character. Like Josh’s pickup line of, “Aren’t you supposed to be on top of a Christmas tree this time of year?” and Paisley’s retort of, “Aren’t you supposed to be giving Mary a ride to Bethlehem?”
Vickie: I can’t listen to music while writing. I need total quiet to be creative, so I hide out in my office with the door shut when I’m working on a book. When I’m not writing I enjoy listening Christmas music. One of my favorite songs is "Mary, Did You Know?"
Miralee: I’m afraid I don’t listen to music at all when I write. I actually need a very quiet space for writing, as I can get distracted too easily, otherwise.
~*~
Alexis: What is your favorite Christmas holiday treat? Did it help you while writing your story or stories? If so, explain.
Kimberly: My favorite Christmas treat is peppermint ice cream. I didn’t write either of my books during Christmastime. Since peppermint ice cream is seasonal, eating it wasn’t an option.
Angela: Both my stories have coffee shops, so spent a lot of time researching holiday treats. Even as I’m currently writing A Mug of Mayhem set in October, Marissa is looking forward to specific Christmas goodies she plans to bake in her shop. My personal favorite to bake is chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and my secret ingredient is cinnamon.
Vickie: Since I wrote this story in the spring, I wasn’t snacking on Christmas goodies. I’ve never been one to make lots of munchies for holidays, but we do like Magic Cookie Bars and Chex Mix. I’d have to say my favorite dessert is pie. I make pumpkin pie each Christmas and then splurge by buying a French Silk pie—my favorite.
Miralee: I have two favorites—I love what we simply call our Christmas cookies, but are a kind of sugar cookie, rolled out, cut with different shaped cutters, then frosted and have sprinkles applied. They shouldn’t be overcooked, so they stay slightly soft rather than crunchy. Yum! The second is Angel Sweets—chocolate balls mixed with chopped nuts (walnuts, peanuts or cashews) and mini marshmallows, then rolled in shredded coconut. These are sinfully delicious, and you don’t want to make them if you’re on a diet.
~*~
Alexis: If you could give one of your characters a Christmas gift, what would it be? Why? Angela and Kimberly: Please answer this question for both of your stories featured in this book.
Kimberly: I’d give Rachel the gift of a babysitter who is always reliable because that was an issue for her. I’d give Bailey a beautiful outfit that she would feel confident in because she needs to feel good about herself.
Angela: Josh and Paisley gave each other the perfect Christmas gifts, but I’d go with Paisley to get her own Min Skatt tattoo. As for Tandy and Marissa, I think I’d bring them a busload of tourists to their shop from Cincinnati for the town’s lighting ceremony.
Vickie: This is hard because it’s been so long since I wrote this story. I think Clay and Karen got a better gift than any I could bestow on them—they got married on Christmas Eve.
Miralee: A handmade nativity figures prominently in my story. That’s something most families would treasure (I know I would) and I’d love to see my young couple have one for their home.
~*~
Alexis: What do you want readers to remember most about your story? Angela and Kimberly: Please answer this question for both of your stories featured in this book.
Kimberly: When readers are done reading any of my books I hope they will remember being entertained and that the characters will stick with them like familiar friends.
Angela: I want my readers to feel loved. In Big Sky, they can realize how treasured they are by God. In A Caffeine Conundrum, I want them to realize that they both need and have God’s grace because Christ loved them enough to offer it to them in the ultimate Christmas gift.
Vickie: I hope I’ve given my readers a story that makes them chuckle at times. I also hope to encourage them that even though hard times come our way, God will help us through them and that things will get better.
Miralee: I hope my story will help my readers remember how important family connections are, and that it’s critical we not only forgive, but accept forgiveness when given.
