Finally a New Project...by Kristin Wallace

Last year became something of an unintentional hiatus from writing...at least the fiction writing side of my life. Some ongoing health problems made it nearly impossible to focus the way I needed in order to create stories. Plus, I'm sure the ongoing COVID crisis made things even more difficult. 

BUT...a writer friend convinced me to be part of a holiday box Holiday Fake-Out. As the title suggests every story centers around a fake holiday date. This set features an eclectic mix of authors, including NYT Bestselling author, Heather Graham. The set features many different kinds of romance, from contemporary and suspense to paranormal. 

Holiday Fake-Out

Need a date for the holidays? Oh joy…We've got you covered with 22 fake holidates to heat up your season!


Travel from small towns to cosmopolitan cities, snow covered mountains to gorgeous mansions. You'll

meet sexy billionaires, brainy tech gods, buff journalists, sinfully cocky athletes, and sizzling hot chefs. They're naughty and nice (and everything in between) and they're enough to fulfill any romantic fantasies.

These 22 swoon-worthy heroes are ready to be your *fake* plus-one at holiday events, from Christmas weddings to Chanukahand Kwanzaa celebrations. Each starts out as a charade, and though they might lie to family, friends, or co-workers, they won't be able to fool themselves when a very real romance develops.

As for my, I am returning to a familiar place...A place called Covington Falls, the setting for my popular inspirational series. I'm introducing a new family this time. Actually, a few of them debuted in my first book, Marry Me. I'm enlarging the family tree of Covington Fall's mayor...or rather his wife's family, Catherine Manning.

Christmas Charade - Covington Falls Chronicles

The story revolves around Magnolia (Maggie) Lewis. She left Covington Falls over a family rift and the desire to follow her dream as an artist and sculptor. Now, she has to return for her cousin's Christmas wedding. She can't go back alone, however, because everyone thinks she has a boyfriend. (It was just a tiny lie.) A non-boyfriend who has no idea he's about to get dragged into her family drama. 

Convincing Liam Sullivan to be her fake date to the wedding is only the first challenge. She needs to make sure she doesn't fall in love with him for real.

It's been a tough year for writing, Kristin. But your holiday story sounds great--glad you got back on the saddle!

What a fun premise --- and having a cohort of writers writing along side (well maybe not literally right next to you) I think would make it easier to get into a writing routine.

I hear you, Kristin, on the challenges of writing last year. I didn't produce a single new book, or even a short story. That's the first time in fifteen years of writing fiction. I'm glad to hear you have found your way back and have a good plan. Returning to a popular series is, to me, both a comforting way back and a challenging one to do something different while extending the town characters and stories.

Your Holiday Fake-Out group of stories sounds fun.
