When Real Life Inspires Fiction: The Birth of a Christmas Story

Posted on by

Three real moments inspired my Christmas story—and they actually happened to me.

  1. Connie, a real person with whom I had struck up a conversation in the grocery store, told me her name then gave me one of the sunflower bouquets she had bought. She had no idea I’d just taken a medical test—one of those annual tests that bring back memories of a serious illness and creates anxiety while waiting for results. Her kindness changed my whole day. I still look for her in the grocery store hoping to thank her again and share her cameo appearance.

  2. The bookstore lanterns on the cover are real. The moment I saw them they illuminated joy within me—just like they do in my story. That joy returned when I wrote about them, first as a short story that Bestselling Author Jerry B. Jenkins selected as a writing contest winner, and second, in writing Meadowville’s Lanterns of Joy and Hope.

Please like and share if this makes you want to read my book and also gift hope to others. The e-book is only .99¢ for a very short time. Just click here to get your copies. Thank you in advance.

Always check price before making a purchase.

Today is the day, friends! Dress Shop Miracles is live on Amazon and it’s dedicated to those with a dream. If this is you, be sure to read the Dedication page.

Here’s the blurb:

Molly is determined to achieve her dream as a dress shop owner before accepting Ted’s marriage proposal. As the Christmas-season grand opening approaches, an unexpected curve derails her plans—which means possibly letting go of her career hopes. But at least she has Ted . . . or does she?

Ted, a former city guy turned small-town farmer, longs to marry Molly more than anything. He also wants her happy doing what she loves. He uses his city connections to help solve her problems when his secret comes to light and she wants nothing more to do with him.

As if life isn’t hard enough, a stranger enters Molly’s life, testing her faith even further. She tries to move forward with a broken heart when she learns that God had been working behind the scenes all along and that Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without His miracles and healing grace.

I can’t reveal all the characters, but I can share the following personalities that carry small but significant roles.

Hetty isn’t bashful. She has all the answers to Molly’s problems and she’s not afraid to speak her mind.

Mr. Hollow, a booming, older man bearing threads on his apron, leads a pack of merchants when members need help.

Simon, a shopowner of exotic creatures gives a freshwater fish to Molly for good fortune.

Noah and Julia are sure their natural methods will make life easier for Molly, at least for the moment.

Shanna, a bookshop owner, believes the answer to Molly’s problem is to read a book.

Then there are the pets! But you’ll have to read the story to learn about them and their owners. So get your ebook copy today!

Dress Shop Miracles is available on Amazon. Get your copy now!
