Tell us about your book.
Christmas Romance
at Dickens on Main is a collection of three novella’s that all take place in
Boerne, Texas, during the Christmas Dickens on Main festival. Each one has a hint of mystery and
romance.
What inspired this book?
Yearly
trips to Boerne to celebrate the Dickens on Main event.
How did you know you were called to write?
When I was
a child, I began writing poetry and have had the love of writing ever since.
How long have you been writing?
I’ve been
seriously writing for the last three years, although I wrote articles and
poetry for years before that.
What was the first book you ever wrote?
Mamma’s
bells. This story takes a young girl
from age 13 to adulthood as she discovers God’s plan for her life. I named the main character after my daughter.
What is your favorite season?
I love
Christmas, but in Texas there is no snow
so it’s not as nice.
If you could travel back in time when and where would you
go?
I would go
to Victorian England to live in an old castle.
What project are you currently working on?
I am
working on several books, anthologies and a new novel titled “Orphan Train
Bride.”
What has been your most challenging experience writing a
book?
I only
write between 9:30 at night and 12:00 because I run a kids resale during the
day, spend time with my husband in the evening until 9:30. I do not write on Sundays at all and usually
have no extra time on Saturdays.
What is your favorite thing to write about, (i.e.,
forgiveness, rebellion, etc)?
Christian romance old
fashioned stories
What is a fond childhood memory?
The first
time I ever wrote a poem, I ran home and read it to my mom. She said to me,” Wow that was great maybe
someday you will be a writer.”
What book are you currently reading?
Well, I don’t
read much but I just read A Dog named Christmas. It’s out of the line I usually read (usually
read Grace Livingston Hill books) but it was very nice story.
What are your hobbies (besides writing)?
I love to
go garage sale shopping and spend time with my grown up kids.

Christmas in Texas. I believe this makes a nice setting with family and community/church traditions. I'm not originally from Texas either and miss the snow. It doesn't seem like Christmas when it's sunny and 80 degrees outside. LOL Christmas is Christmas everywhere. Thank you for this giveaway and the chance to win a great holiday read.
Blessings,

I am loving all the comments about Christmas and cold weather. The leaves are just starting to change colors in East Texas. We got down to 5o for a very short moment and everyone was pulling out coats. It is starting to feel a little more like the holidays but I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner.
Oh how I love Christmas stories and if there is some romance thrown in all the better! I love the Christmas season and I started in August playing Christmas CD's. In fact, I have a Christmas CD playing in the background right now! (Anne Murray). I never tire of Christmas!
Thanks for this giveaway!
Blessings!

Christmas and a special festival sounds like such a neat setting for a series. Please include me, I'd love to read Teresa's book.

Teresa, I see that your publisher produces clean, wholesome, Christian books, so that's what your book must be. That's awesome. So often nowadays, the romances are anything BUT "clean and wholesome." I'd love to read it.
That's fun that "Christmas Romance at Dickens on Main" was inspired by what sounds like a Christmas season tradition of yours! Thanks for the giveaway!
