Christmas Bells and Wedding Spells

 Writing Christmas Bells & Wedding Spells felt a little like decorating a tree with one hand while stirring a pot of hot cocoa with the other—equal parts joy, juggling, and the occasional sprinkle of chaos that somehow makes the whole thing magical.

I wanted to craft a story that glows. Not the blinding-LED kind of glow, but that soft, porch-light warmth you get when you’re pulling into your hometown on Christmas Eve. The kind of story that lets you know you’re about to walk into a world where goodness still wins, people still believe in each other, and the cookies are always baked with love. The book blends the charm of Hallmark, the humor of reality TV, and the coziness of small-town holiday magic. No harsh drama, no claws out; just enough sparkle, romance, and mischief to give your heart a happy little flutter.

And now—Lord help me, I’m still squealing about this—it’s published and officially available on Barnes & Noble. Anybody can grab it there, download the free NOOK app, and be reading it faster than you can say “Bless that man’s heart for trying to hang Christmas lights in the wind.”

This book wasn’t written to impress the literary elites or win a prize for “Most Symbolic Use of Mistletoe in a Supporting Role.” It was written for the people who want to curl up with a story that feels like a mug of something warm, a blanket over your knees, and the comforting nonsense of holiday romance swirling in the background. 

At the end of the day, Christmas Bells & Wedding Spells is a story about joy. About friendship. About the kind of love that sneaks up on you between a sleigh ride and a snow-kissed misunderstanding. And writing it reminded me that we all deserve a little enchantment!

So please...grab your sleigh bells, your cozy socks, and your Nook app. The doors of Sugar Hollow Harbor are open, and there’s a slice of holiday magic waiting just for you!
