Today we welcome Mary Ball to my blog. Mary, it's good to have you stop by. Tell us about the book –
Rose
Colored Christmas
Young widow Emilee Arnold enjoys her freelance web design
work, teaching a youth Sunday school class and everything about Christmas.
She’s content, or believes so, until she rescues a pilot from a burning plane
and is snowed in with her very own scrooge for the holiday.
Gabe King specializes in flying corporate groups to various
locations. He’s claims to be an easy-going guy until his
lifestyle and his heart is challenged by Emilee.
Emilee can’t stop her attraction to Gabe but his dislike for
Christmas is the one thing she can’t get past.
Can Emilee help to make her very own Christmas a
miracle?
Are any experiences
in Rose Colored Christmas based on personal experiences?
Did you draw upon any
stories or movies for inspiration for the novel?
The only experience in Rose Colored Christmas I relate with are
Emilee and Jan’s lose of their loved ones, and the steps they take to keep
Christmas in their hearts. I don’t recall seeing or reading anything
similar.

No.

Christmas holiday.

anything from writing your book and what was it?
Writing, the story reaffirmed to me that God is indeed my
strength and guidance.

Winged Publications. As a small town
