Christmas is a time for miracles…

After a tragic traffic accident several years ago, Veronica Cearley has avoided all socializing and celebrating—especially during Christmas. Her daughter wants her mother back and finally gives her an ultimatum: this year, she’s spending Christmas with her fiancé’s family, and if Veronica doesn’t rediscover the joy in life, she won’t be involved in planning her spring wedding. When Veronica finds a flyer inviting people to attend a “Not a Christmas Club” on her daily walk, she wonders if fate has played into her hand.

Cullen Murdock doesn’t want to spend Christmas alone. He’s back in Hidden Mountain, Georgia, on business, and while he and the town have a history, he’d prefer to keep it locked in the past. He puts a plan in motion to ensure he has company for the holiday, hoping that the other lonely people he’s invited are willing to accept his mysterious invitation and make a few positive life changes.

Forced together with three other lonesome people, Veronica and Cullen fall hard and fast, but will Cullen’s secret steal their newfound Christmas spirit?

I’m so happy to be here with you today. The X-Mas Club was a different kind of book for me, but one I wanted to write. Tule Publishing gave me the opportunity to do that! But it was also a hard book to write. A hot mess, some would say! I had a lot of help getting it into shape, so I hope you’ll enjoy it.

A few people have asked me about the title. Why did I leave Christ out of Christmas? The title was on purpose because my heroine had lost her Christmas Spirit. She was bitter and reclusive and she’d shut down her pain. I’ve been there. I knew her pain, and I knew her bitterness. Grief can eat away at you and take over before you see it coming. At Christmas, we sometimes try to shove that grief in a corner and put a bow on it to hide it. No one wants it during this special time of year. But Veronica Cearley had to let go of her grief in order to find Christmas again in a very mysterious but special way.

I pray this book will encourage people and help anyone who has been going through some sort of grief, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the loss of a friend, or the sadness of life taking over. Veronica found the Christ in Christmas again. I hope we can all remember that and rejoice.
