blessing of friendship

by Toni Shiloh, author of Something Borrowed

Something Borrowed: Christmas Weddings Collection takes the reader on a journey of six friends who get to share a tiara as it passes to each woman for their something borrowed. Although one of the friends is already married, she still has scenes in different books and gets the nod as the first to wear the tiara.

These stories are all fictional, but they are based in truth. You see Angela Ruth Strong, Jaycee Weaver, Mikal Dawn, Teresa Tysinger, Andrea Boyd, and I all gathered together to brainstorm a new collection. We had worked together previously when we wrote Once Upon a Christmas. Although Teresa didn’t end up writing a story that collection (she had to make an out-of-state move), she was the one who designed the covers. Then Angela Ruth Strong couldn’t write a story for this collection (life happens once more), we ladies gave a nod to her by creating the character Ruth Ann.

In the stories of Something Borrowed, you’ll see how the friends reach out to one another when they need help. How some text, video chat, or show up in person. And just like in real life, the ladies and I do the same.

Jaycee and Andrea are my critique partners. They get first look at my stories and help to ensure my story makes sense, that I don’t randomly change eye colors of a character or whatever else they may catch.

Each and every one of us prays for the other. Some of us are closer than others, but that doesn’t lessen our bond. Doesn’t keep us from video chatting talking about the randomest thing or being more intentional with brainstorming a new collection (hint, hint).

Through all the ups and downs life has thrown us, we’ve become friends who have made a commitment to be there for one another.

I hope that when you read Something Borrowed, you see the same dedication in Hanady, Leilah, Ana, Cate, and Lydia.

Happy Holidays,

From the ladies of Something Borrowed
